2019 Mercedes-Benz CLS Coupe
SCHEDULE A TEST DRIVE
Overview
A four-door coupe? Yes, indeed—and room for five in the sleek and athletic 2019 Mercedes-Benz CLS Coupe. In its third generation, the CLS Coupe glides with confidence anywhere you need to go. The CLS was the first to offer adaptive LED headlamps, and new Ultra Wide Beam LED headlamps are available to illuminate the road ahead for optimal night driving.
Starting at $69,200 MSRP,* the Mercedes-Benz CLS 450 is everything you want in a coupe and more than you ever expected. The CLS 450 4MATIC and AMG SLS 53 coupe are also available starting at $71,700 and $79,900, respectively.*
Drive & Handling
The CLS coupe includes a new performance-enhanced twin-scroll turbo straight six with a 362-hp output and EQ Boost. For you and your passengers, that means a confident drive, quiet comfort, and top-tier fuel efficiency. EQ Boost electrifies the CLS Coupe with a 48-volt Integrated Starter-Generator that adds up to 21 hp and lower emissions.
Mercedes-Benz opted to include a lowered multilink suspension on the CLS Coupe for improved cornering that can smooth out rougher roads. And you may choose to add the AIR BODY CONTROL system, which is a multi-chamber air suspension paired with continuously-adjustable damping for even more comfort. Teamed up with the various modes of DYNAMIC SELECT, your CLS Coupe can take on the world.
Design & Comfort
From its contoured seats to a gorgeous array of leather and trim options, the CLS coupe is replete with comfort and luxury. A magnificent 12.3-inch screen is controlled by pinch and swipe touch controls reminiscent of your smartphone, giving it a native feel to your fingers. Your navigation, entertainment, climate settings, and more are all available without having to look for buttons on the dash.
Every new CLS coupe can automatically alert a central notification system of certain dangers, from wrong-way drivers, emergency vehicles approaching from behind or from the side, and even hazard lights. The vehicle “sees” potentially dangerous obstacles before they are perceived by the driver, and it warns the driver and other road users. Ultimately, it obtains information from points outside the driver's field of vision, which is not the case with conventional sensors. With Car-to-X in-dash displays or announcements, the system can alert other drivers on the road as well, making it safer for all of us.
The arched roof design of the CLS coupe is aerodynamic and refined, and this coupe is matchless from its inimitable grille to its LED taillamps. Turbine-style vents accent the flanks of the vehicle and frameless side glass creates a smooth flow. Nineteen-inch wheels are standard, as are power front seats with memory and massage. The CLS coupe is exceptionally built and gorgeously appointed, creating the perfect blend to please any driver.
Key Features
ATTENTION ASSIST®
Mercedes-Benz is up to date with the latest driver-assist technology, including ATTENTION ASSIST®, the first system of its kind. ATTENTION ASSIST is your safety guardian when on the road and monitors your driving behavior. If it detects signs of driver fatigue behind the wheel, like a change in steering behaviors and tactical errors based on your normal behaviors, it issues an alert. This groundbreaking system monitors up to 70 driving parameters, measured on the patterns of the drivers themselves.
BREATHE EASIER WITH AIR PURIFICATION
Fresh air reduces fatigue, dry eyes, and headaches; Mercedes-Benz has your health in mind with an available activated charcoal filtration system paired with an ionizer that creates a fresh-air sensation. Allergies got you down? This system also filters out impurities and allergens in the air to help you breathe easier.
SMART CARGO OPTIONS
The carpet in the cargo area conceals lockable storage beneath the cargo floor, with spring-loaded pop-out brackets that hold the floor in a raised position when you’re ready to stow your valuables. A 12-volt power port, side cargo net, and chrome-plated tie-down hooks round out your smart cargo space.
Alternative Options
If you love the shape of the CLS Coupe but want the option to roll the top down on sunny days, an E-Class Cabriolet will suit you perfectly. Want to ride a little higher? The innovative GLC 300 4MATIC Coupe rolls sporty and brawny into one, offering both nimble handling and a versatile 40/20/40 rear seat.
