Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class Coupe

The cabin of the Mercedes-Benz CLS Coupe seeks heavy inspiration from the E-Class. While this might not be giving any individuality to the cabin of the CLS, the cabin itself is a high-class, high-quality place to be in, with it having a range of rich-looking bits and features to make the occupants feel special.

Both the variants of the Mercedes-Benz CLS Coupe come with dual-tone black and beige leather upholstery as standard, with the driver’s cockpit comprising of a Y-themed multi-functional steering wheel and a wide rectangular fully-digital screen. Extending towards the centre console, this screen comprises two full-TFT 12.3-inch screens – one for the instrument console and one for the touchscreen infotainment system. The centre console has four rounded AC vents below the infotainment system and layered themes for the middle dashboard layer and lower centre console.

The cabin of the CLS Coupe is equipped with class-leading features like 64-coloured ambient lighting, a sunroof, an air balance package with an air purifier and a 3D Burmester surround sound system. The lower centre console also houses a touchpad to control the functioning of the touchscreen infotainment system.

There are very few four-door coupes that pull off public attention with as much grace and poise as the Mercedes-Benz CLS Coupe. Based on the E-Class, this four-door coupe is high on style and snob value, with the traditional coupe elements like a rounded roofline and frameless doors making it an attention magnet.

At the front, the Mercedes-Benz CLS Coupe has a sleek-looking appearance, with the coupe having a large trapezoidal grille with rounded edges and boundaries. This grille comes with a star-studded design theme and a slim horizontal chrome garnish in the middle. The sweptback all-LED headlamps with LED projectors look sleek and sharp and make the front profile look even wider. Adding more wider and aggressive appeal to the front of the CLS Coupe are the large air dams with air curtains on the sides.

The side profile of the Mercedes-Benz CLS Coupe is the best angle of the car to look at, with the rounded roofline being the star highlight here. The curved window frame with chrome surrounds adds to the stylish and elegant appearance of the CLS Coupe, while the car comes with smooth-looking door panels and AMG-Line five-spoke alloy wheels.

The rear profile of the Mercedes-Benz CLS Coupe has a two-part tail lamp assembly, which has a triangular design on the inner edges. The retracted design for the C-pillars, the body-colored spoiler lip on the boot lid, and the quad-pipe AMG exhaust system add to the stylish and sporty appeal of the CLS Coupe.

The Mercedes-Benz CLS Coupe might not be extremely spacious like the E-Class, for the sloping roofline and high-running central tunnel eat up the rear space. However, it offers a plush ride quality over all kinds of surfaces, while the adjustable steering, suspension and brake settings can personalize your driving experience depending on your driving style.

There are two variants of the Mercedes-Benz CLS Coupe, both of which claim different power and torque figures. The CLS 350 has a 3.5-litre V6 petrol engine claiming 306 bhp of power and 370 Nm of torque and sending the power to the rear wheels. On the other hand, the CLS 450 4MATIC claims 362 bhp of power and 500 Nm of torque from its 3.0-litre turbocharged V6 petrol engine and sends the power produced to all four wheels via an all-wheel drive. A 9-speed automatic transmission is common to both variants of the CLS Coupe.

Apart from the essentials, the Mercedes-Benz CLS Coupe gets a host of driver assistance features like active distance assist, active stop-go assist, active steering assist with lane change assist, active brake assist with cross-traffic function, active speed limit assist with traffic sign assist, active blind spot assist with exit warning and Pre-Safe package. The four-door coupe also gets park assist with a 360-degree parking camera and head-up display.

The Mercedes-Benz CLS Coupe might be low on practicality and space as compared to conventional sedans. However, for those who want the exclusivity of a four-door coupe, it is a great deal as a four-seater luxury car that is high on style, features, and premium appeal.
