2015 MERCEDES-BENZ CLS-CLASS

The 2015 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class CLS 400 Coupe 4D stands as an exceptionally stylish, highly sophisticated benchmark in the luxury four-door coupe segment, marking a major refresh year for the model line with updated styling, advanced lighting, and a refined twin-turbo V6 powertrain. Built on an ultra-rigid high-strength steel unibody platform engineered for quiet cabin acoustics, low noise-vibration-harshness (NVH), and high structural safety, this four-passenger luxury coupe blends executive saloon comfort with dramatic, sweeping sports car proportions.

Under the sculpted aluminum hood sits Mercedes-Benz’s responsive 3.0-liter Twin-Turbocharged DOHC 24-valve V6 engine, generating 329 horsepower at 5,250 RPM and 354 lb-ft of torque available across a wide powerband from 1,600 to 4,750 RPM. This smooth mechanical core is paired with a 7G-TRONIC PLUS 7-speed automatic transmission with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters and DYNAMIC SELECT modes. Power is routed to the rear wheels via standard Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) or to all four wheels through Mercedes-Benz's available 4MATIC® permanent all-wheel drive system. The dynamic driving experience is anchored by a four-wheel independent suspension system with selective damping (or available AIRMATIC® adaptive air suspension) that provides flat cornering stability and plush highway absorption.

On the exterior, the 2015 CLS 400 executes a commanding visual statement defined by its diamond-block front radiator grille, redesigned LED daytime running lights, active full-LED headlights, and sweeping pillarless side-window profile. Functional body contours include power-folding auto-dimming heated side mirrors with integrated turn signals, power glass sunroof, dual integrated trapezoidal chrome exhaust outlets, and a low, aggressive stance rolling proudly on 18-inch 5-spoke aluminum alloy wheels wrapped in all-season performance tires.

Inside, the driver-centric cockpit welcomes four occupants into a luxury sanctuary lined with hand-fitted wood inlays, polished metal accents, and deeply contoured seating draped in premium leather seating upholstery. The four-passenger layout features 14-way power-adjustable front bucket seats with 4-way power lumbar and driver memory, a leather-wrapped multifunction sport steering wheel, Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control, keyless entry with push-button start, and a central 8.0-inch high-resolution color display screen driven by the COMAND® infotainment controller. Modern digital connectivity includes hands-free Bluetooth® phone and audio streaming, dual USB media ports, auxiliary input, HD Radio™, SiriusXM® satellite radio capability, and a rich 14-speaker harman/kardon® LOGIC7® surround sound system.

Practicality and space utilization match its executive grand touring profile. The cabin provides four dedicated individual bucket seats separated by a continuous center console with rear air vents and storage. Opening the power trunk lid reveals 15.3 cubic feet of flat cargo trunk space, providing ample room for luggage sets, camera gear packages, or daily business inventory.

Backed by a generous 21.1-gallon fuel tank to support long-distance travel, this 3.0L Twin-Turbo V6 powertrain achieves an EPA-estimated 20 MPG city and 30 MPG highway (20/28 MPG for 4MATIC® models), launching from 0 to 60 MPH in a swift 5.2 seconds. Safety is world-class, utilizing an ultra-high-strength steel passenger safety cell with energy-absorbing front and rear structural crumple zones. The vehicle comes factory-equipped with a robust active protective safety net, including standard ATTENTION ASSIST® driver drowsiness monitor, PRE-SAFE® predictive occupant protection, COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST PLUS with autonomous braking, Electronic Stability Program (ESP®), 4-wheel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Brake Assist, a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), and an advanced multi-stage 10-airbag protection canopy network featuring dual front airbags, front and rear seat-mounted side airbags, pelvic airbags, side-curtain airbags, and a driver's knee airbag to guarantee complete driving peace of mind.
