We’ve just brought you official pictures of the new Mercedes CLS. Now we’ve got details to spare you, including the all important engines that are being offered with the 2nd generation CLS. First to be released is the CLS 350 BlueEFFICIENCY, which will house a 306hp 3.5-litre six-cylinder petrol engine.
Next will be the CLS 250 CDI, made up of a 2.1 litre diesel engine producing 204hp. There is also a 265-hp six-cylinder 3.0-litre diesel in the CLS 350 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY. The company also confirmed that the 500 BlueEFFICIENCY with a 408hp V8 will go on sale in December later this year. All engines are fitted with an ECO engine start/stop function as standard. They will be coupled with the 7–speed G-Tronic Plus transmission.
Most notable is the world’s first fully LED high performance headlamps that is available as an option. For the first time the lighting system features the company’s Intelligent Light System with bi-xenon headlamps integrated with LED technology.
Among others including those must-have safey features, there is also an electromechanical Direct-Steer system as well as an optional Active Parking Assist feature which pretty much allows the CLS to park on it’s own. On the inside, customers will have a choice of five trim variants and three types of leather options. European deliveries of the CLS will begin sometime in April.

I seriously dunno how to enjoy this car, the old one is much more pleasent looking…
even an ordinary C-class is better looking than this CLS
Sorry CLS, thumbs down from me…
Totally agree.. This look like such a big huge 4 door saloon.. While the previous CLS is such a sporty coupe like. with 4 doors..
Perhaps, the car is still new.. Takes time for us to adopt the looks of it.. We might not think the same after 1-2 years =)
I disagree…externally it look gorgeous and well redesigned than it’s predecessor..I just wish it came with its predecessor interior..
Merc on steroids…too much muscles…hahha
I can’t help but think , the car looks much better in this colour compared to the silvery one. It simply covers those busy and ungainly lines. But it still can’t match the visual drama of the previous CLS.
Its simply Chantique!
Mercedes Cars are built for lasting superiority and admiration thats why Mercedes Brand is expensive and offers full satisfactions to owners. Obviously at one look CLS looks weak against existing models or even BMWs, frankly its as gorgeous as existing E-Class W212.
Any Mercedes owners changing to Nissans Toyotas Fords Mazdas BMWs or even Audis… so far? Now lets dream and work harder on this new CLS…. what do you think?
I never look to other japs or korean not even other german marque after owning the MB…and less dream but working hard and praying for a chance (umur panjang and murah rezeki) to own this CLS
I think Merc has successfully transfer their new design direction to the CLS.. but now, I can’t help but feel that the look makes no different from the new Merc.. unlike the current generation CLS that has its own individual CLS looks… when it came out, it is nothing like the C-Class or E-Class of during the same time.. it has a whole different look… now.. its either you love it or hates it.. i am quite indifferent to it…
This looks more like a 4-door SLS to me… yea the previous CLS looks more pleasant….
Finally, goodbye Xenon, and say hi to LED!!! :)
Never like this look then, never like this look now. I just couldn’t get the idea of ditching the elegant and simple lines of the previous generation, and opt for this messy and squarish look. I won’t be surprised if this CLS can’t achieve what the previous generation has achieved.
