Mercedes-Benz reveals the images of the CLS 2015

A day before Mercedes-Benz had shared a teaser on the new LED technology used in the CLS. Now, the German auto maker has revealed the images of the revised four-door Coupe. Both design icons now feature a honed front section. Their further upgraded interior boasts lots of new, perfectly handcrafted details, combining contemporary luxury with passionate sportiness. They also bring ground-breaking technical innovations to the road. The futuristic multibeam LED headlamps open up new dimensions in lighting systems. Now, the CLS also gets the 9G-TRONIC 9-speed automatic transmission, new engines, intelligently networked driver assistance and safety systems as well as a progressive multimedia system with internet. The AMG variants CLS 63 AMG Coupe developing up to 585 hp and the new Mercedes connect me online services are also included on all models.

Mercedes-Benz founded the four-door coupe segment ten years ago with the CLS and it is also the first vehicle to offer dynamic LED High Performance headlamps as an option. Both models now come as standard with all-LED headlamps in a new design. Alternatively both vehicle models are available as an option with the new multibeam LED headlamps as designed and developed by Mercedes-Benz. Since the multibeam LED technology combines the very best of today's lighting technologies and can optimally adjust the light distribution instantly and automatically to virtually any traffic situation, it always ensures thus far unrivalled broad and bright illumination of the road surface and edge of the carriageway for high performance and precision without dazzling other car drivers.

The camera-based Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus provides the information for the illumination. If it detects illuminated oncoming vehicles or vehicles ahead, it drives each of the individual 24 LEDs in a matrix light source electronically so that individual areas of the road are specifically masked in accordance with the particular situation. In addition to the camera on the windscreen, this new lighting system uses four control units per vehicle, which calculate the ideal light pattern 100 times per second and control all 24 high-performance LEDs in each precision LED module quickly and individually. Each LED is dimmable in 255 stages.

The CLS now comes mated to a 9G-TRONIC, which is used in the CLS 220 BlueTEC, CLS 250 BlueTEC, CLS 350 BlueTEC and CLS 500. With nine forward gears the 9G‑TRONIC manages to reduce fuel consumption, while further enhancing shift comfort and agility. Expect the CLS 350 to make it to India, however not with the BlueTec technology.

The basic Audio 20 CD system and COMAND Online both support HD Voice-capable basic telephony, which connects the mobile phone to the vehicle via a Bluetooth interface. HD Voice provides much better voice quality. In conjunction with convenience telephony the high-speed LTE network can also be used in future if a compatible smartphone with a relevant contract is used.
