THE 2020
CLS

Key Fe at u r e s
For the looks it’s got, and the looks you’ll get.
MODELS
The way its sharknose grille, twin-power-dome hood, and tense arch of
a roofline come together, it’s understandable if you’re won over purely
by the design of the third-generation CLS. The four-door coupe profile it
pioneered has inspired an entire industry. But just as compelling are the
innovations that await you beneath its alluring sheet metal: Advanced
luxuries. Breakthrough driving assists. And next-generation electrified
performance. What does it feel like to take the wheel of a CLS in your
own hands? Exactly what everyone else imagines just by looking at it.

THE SENSIBLE SIDE OF
SENSUAL
Athletic, alluring and ageless
CLS models
The original CLS opened a new era in the rich tradition of
Mercedes-Benz coupes. For the first time, the seductively
sleek styling and richly refined cabin were united with
the convenience of four doors. It turned the tide of car
design, as countless sedans emulated its sweeping shape.
For its third generation, the CLS has broken free from the
crowd again, with lines that are clean, flowing and pure.

362‑hp inline‑6 turbo with EQ Boost
Integrated Starter-Generator (ISG),

Eager to perform, refuses to conform
Beneath its taut, muscular body is an agile chassis and
another advance on a classic Mercedes-Benz element: The
inherently smooth inline‑6 is turbocharged and teamed
with innovative EQ Boost that can add seamless, efficient
torque electrically. In the Mercedes-Benz coupe tradition,
the CLS honors its history by continuing to make it new.

A MODERN T WIST ON
TORQUE
A new trajectory for the traditional inline‑6
For generations, the natural balance of an inline‑6 engine made
it a beloved powerplant for German performance coupes. The CLS
reinvents this classic configuration in futuristic form. Its 100%
beltless, low-friction design is light and compact. A twin-scroll
turbo helps it outpunch its 3.0L size in power and torque. And its
48‑volt electrical system efficiently charges its lithium-ion battery,
and runs its air conditioning and power steering. It also powers its
EQ Boost Integrated Starter-Generator (ISG) — an innovation that
can add instant, gas-free torque on demand, and make its emissioncutting, fuel-saving ECO Start/Stop system feel even smoother.

THOUGHTFUL AND
SOULFUL
Every surface reveals what’s within
Luxury highlights
The CLS cabin is an experience that’s at once singular
and shared. The flowing sculpture of its dash, doors and
console envelops you in visible artfulness and tangible
craftsmanship — both Mercedes-Benz coupe signatures.
Contoured seating invites five adults to enjoy it as one.
Power front seats with memory
Every sense deserves a sensation
Concealed amid the fine woods and supple leather are
technologies to help you feel both relaxed and refreshed.
LED ambient lighting offers 64 selectable colors. Options
include front-seat “hot stone” massage and ENERGIZING
Comfort, which creates multisensory environments with
lighting, seat comfort, climate, subtle aroma and music.
The design of a CLS doesn’t start with
a sketch or spreadsheet. It starts with
a legacy of elegance that’s continually
racing ahead. It starts with a soul.

COMFORT
A multitude of sensors, a singular focus
A network of radar, cameras and other sensors watches
for danger. Car‑to‑X Communication3 lets your CLS and
other cars with the system alert each other to hazards
ahead. If PRE‑SAFE® Sound senses an imminent crash,
a special tone can prepare your ears’ natural defenses.4
Proactive protection, advanced action
An available suite of driver assists5 lets you change lanes
with a tap of a turn signal. It uses GPS to help the cruise
control slow for tolls or exits. It can adjust your cruising
speed as the posted limit changes. It can also help you
execute an evasive move more smoothly, and proactively
prepare for an impending front, rear or side impact.

The elegance of quiet eloquence
In an era where so many cars cloy for your attention
with countless creases and cuts, the CLS speaks its
design language with a commanding whisper. With
a slight forward lean to its grille, wind-honed AMG®
styling and wide LED taillamps, the clean, minimal
lines of the CLS shun fussy clichés for true finesse.
Depth of character on every surface
Exquisite craftsmanship has long underpinned the
visible style of Mercedes-Benz coupes. Hand-fitted
leather or Nappa leather* in three styles and a range
of colors can be paired with any of five woods — light
or dark, satin natural-grain or deeply polished. The
paintwork palette adds eight designo Manufaktur
colors* from classic nonmetallics to modern mattes.
Efficiency raised to a higher power
The advanced gas/electric powertrain supplements
the turbocharged 362‑hp inline‑6 with the added
gas-free torque of an EQ Boost Integrated StarterGenerator. Power is sent to the rear wheels, or via
4matic® all-wheel drive to all four 19" to 20" tires.1
Responsive to demands and desires
Even the luxury details of the CLS have thoughtful
details: Tap the climate control temperature up or
down, and the ambient lighting acknowledges your
command with a brief flash of red or blue. You can
also adjust it, along with countless cabin features
from audio to navigation, via standard voice control.
With a design that’s refreshingly
free of extraneous flourish, the CLS
proves that understatement can
be emphatic. In the CLS tradition,
expect the world to listen up.
*Optional. Please see back of brochure.

THE ORIGINAL
The CLS 450 and CLS 450 4 matic Coupes
The four-door coupe silhouette of the first CLS ushered in
a new era of car design. And while it drove sleeker, more
rakish shapes into the norm, the CLS remains out of the
ordinary. Its design and engineering collaborate to offer
a range of delights to its driver and four passengers — all
while it draws admiring eyes wherever it goes. To be a
Mercedes-Benz, the CLS must be more than a work of art.
It has to work just as artfully — teaming power with poise.
Asserting leadership with grace. And turning an object
into an object of instant desire and enduring affection.
As appealing as either CLS 450 is at a standstill, taking
them to an open road proves that style starts in the soul.
Torque flows liberally from the turbo engine and electric
EQ Boost. Handling is at once crisp and fluid: Selective
damping instantly firms up in tight turns. Available AIR
BODY CONTROL® pairs adaptive damping with 4‑wheel
leveling. The CLS 450 4matic delivers all-season agility
with a 30‑mpg highway rating.13 And the AMG Line and
Night Package sharpen looks and handling, with 19" or
20" AMG® wheels,1 plus sporty details inside and out.*

BLAST FROM THE
FUTURE
The triple -boosted AMG CLS 53 Coupe
It’s tempting to just say the AMG CLS 53 distills more than half
a century of racing championships into a 4.4‑second 0‑60 run.14
But it takes far more to create a new era of performance car. Its
AMG-enhanced inline‑6 pumps up its torque in three different
ways: a twin-scroll turbo, a 48‑volt EQ Boost Integrated StarterGenerator, and an electric auxiliary compressor. It can divide
that torque 50/50 front/rear, or send up to 100% to the rear set
of 19" or 20" AMG® wheels. And its air suspension can rapidly
adapt to curving roads and any of five selectable driving modes.

Daily commute or roadtrip, thoughtful
technology helps make any journey a joy.
Wherever you drive, there’s a team of
supportive people looking out for you.
Your Mercedes-Benz experience
should always feel special.
Mercedes me connect puts a network of features in your
car, on your smartphone, and in the digital world around
you.2 And all of them collaborate to help keep you on track,
on time, and feeling you’re on top of your real world.
Mercedes-Benz was the first automaker to introduce its
own Roadside Assistance Program in the US. For more
than 35 years, customers have called on — and counted
on — factory-trained experts in times of need.29
Driving a Mercedes-Benz feels like joining
a club, as well as a family. Wherever you go,
you’re part of a history that started with the
first car, and always keeps racing ahead.
•You can remote-start your car, locate where it’s parked,
configure vehicle settings from your phone, and more.
•You can look up destinations on your phone and send
them to the COMAND® navigation system in your car.
•You can offer WiFi to your passengers, and enjoy audio
from all over the planet with TuneIn Radio.
Models with Car-to-X Communication can share info
on traffic, road hazards and other conditions with each
other, via a central reporting base. So you might find out
about a tie-up on your route before you get caught up in it.
Your car’s navigation map database can be updated in
your driveway, over the air, up to twice a year for three
years. There’s no need to bring it to the dealership.
•A button in your car can connect you. If an air bag or
seat-belt tensioner is activated, your car can place the
call on your behalf, and even transmit your location.
•They can send help — usually a trained dealer service
technician — to your location, even for a jump-start.
•If you see a warning light, so can the experts, and they
can often help diagnose trouble over the phone.
Mercedes me Concierge can fulfill a range of requests
like hotel and restaurant reservations for a monthly fee.
•For decades, groundbreaking innovations
have protected, entertained and indulged
Mercedes-Benz drivers first. While many
have gone on to become the standard for all
cars, you get to drive the future, today.

more information.
Lower-aspect-ratio tires and accompanying wheels provide substantially increased treadwear, increased tire noise and
reduced ride comfort. Serious wheel and tire damage may occur if the vehicle is operated on rough or damaged road
surfaces or upon encountering road debris or obstacles. These tires are not designed for use on snow and ice. Winter tires
mounted on appropriately sized and approved wheels are recommended for driving in those conditions.

Audio/multimedia system must be turned on for PRE‑SAFE Sound to operate.
Even the most advanced safety systems may not be sufficient to avoid an accident. Please refer to more detailed
information on specific systems elsewhere in this brochure, at MBUSA.com, and in the vehicle’s Operator’s Manual. Some
systems may be optional.
Active Brake Assist may not be sufficient to avoid an accident. It does not react to certain stationary or suddenly moving
objects or pedestrians, may not react in certain situations where objects cannot be clearly identified, nor does it recognize
or predict the curvature and/or lane layout of the road or every movement of vehicles and pedestrians ahead. It is the
driver’s responsibility at all times to be attentive to traffic and road conditions, and to provide the steering, braking and
other driving inputs necessary to retain control of the vehicle. Drivers are cautioned not to wait for the system’s alerts
before braking, as that may not afford sufficient time and distance to brake safely. See Operator’s Manual for system
operating speeds and additional information and warnings.
Blind Spot Assist is a warning system only. Blind Spot Assist or Active Blind Spot Assist may not be sufficient to avoid all
accidents involving vehicles in your blind spot and does not estimate the speed of approaching vehicles. It must not be used
as a substitute for driver awareness and checking of surrounding traffic conditions. See Operator’s Manual for system’s
operating speeds and additional information and warnings.
Rearview camera and Surround View System do not audibly notify driver of nearby objects and are not a substitute for
actively checking around the vehicle for any obstacles or people. Images displayed may be limited by camera field of view,
weather, lighting conditions and the presence of dirt, ice or snow on the cameras.
While the navigation system provides directional assistance, the driver must remain focused on safe driving behavior,
including paying attention to traffic and street signs. The driver should utilize the system’s audio cues while driving and
should only consult the map or visual displays once the vehicle has been stopped in a safe place. Maps do not cover all areas
or all routes within an area, may require periodic updating, and may not reflect recent or temporary changes to roadways.
Display may not be visible with certain eyewear, including polarized glasses.
Apple CarPlay™ is a product of Apple Inc. Android Auto is a product of Google Inc. Device and app providers’ terms and privacy
statements apply. Requires connected compatible device and data plan. Apps, content and features are selected solely by
their providers. Connection to apps and streaming services may be limited by the device’s network connection. Data usage is
routed through device and subject to fees, charges and restrictions in user’s wireless plan. Vehicle’s factory audio/information
interface may not be used simultaneously with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. When Apple CarPlay or Android Auto is in use,
the steering-wheel voice control button accesses Siri® or Google voice recognition software for voice commands.
The purchase of a new, SiriusXM®-equipped vehicle includes a 6-month introductory subscription to the SiriusXM All Access
package. If you decide to continue your subscription after your trial, the plan you choose will automatically renew and you
will be charged according to your chosen payment method at then-current rates. Fees and taxes apply. To cancel you must
call SiriusXM at 1‑866‑635‑2349. See SiriusXM Customer Agreement for complete terms at siriusxm.com. All fees and
programming subject to change.
2020 EPA estimated fuel economy. Compare the estimated mpg to the estimated mpg of other vehicles. You may get
different mileage depending on how fast you drive, weather conditions and trip length.
Stated rates of acceleration are estimated based upon manufacturer’s track results and may vary depending on model,
environmental and road surface conditions, driving style, elevation and vehicle load.
Driving while drowsy or distracted is dangerous and must be avoided. ATTENTION ASSIST® is a warning system only.
ATTENTION ASSIST and Active Lane Keeping Assist may be insufficient to alert a fatigued or distracted driver of lane drift
and cannot be relied on to avoid an accident or serious injury. See Operator’s Manual for system’s operating speeds and
additional information and warnings.
Parking assistance systems are not substitutes for driver attention to the immediate surroundings, as well as any people,
animals or vehicles in or approaching the vehicle’s maneuvering range. System cannot determine if a space is legally
available or of a suitable surface for parking. See Operator’s Manual for additional information, tips and warnings.
Unsecured cargo can become hazardous in a collision. Always secure cargo using the floor-mounted tie-downs.
Sport steering wheel is included on CLS 450 in AMG Line only with Black interiors, or with designo Black/Titanium Grey
Pearl leather, and excluded if heated steering wheel is also ordered. Heated steering wheel is not available on AMG CLS 53
with AMG DRIVE UNIT or AMG Performance steering wheel in DINAMICA.
Wireless charging and NFC pairing available only for devices with compatible technology and size. See Operator’s Manual
for more information. Devices sold separately.
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC® cruise control is not a substitute for active driving involvement. It does not adapt
cruising speed in response to stationary objects, nor does it predict the curvature and lane layout of the road ahead or the
movement of vehicles ahead. Active Steering Assist requires driver to hold steering wheel and be ready to steer vehicle at
any time. It may not recognize lane markings in some lighting, weather and road conditions. It is the driver’s responsibility
at all times to be attentive to traffic and road conditions, and to provide the steering, braking and other driving inputs
necessary to retain control of the vehicle. Drivers are cautioned not to wait for the system’s alerts before braking, as that
may not afford sufficient time and distance to brake safely. Even with Route-based Speed Adaptation, driver is responsible
for safely slowing and/or stopping vehicle at intersections, and for giving right-of-way to other drivers. System is not a
substitute for driver awareness to posted speed limits and other conditions. Driver is responsible for safely operating
vehicle in accordance with local traffic laws and driving conditions.
Active Lane Change Assist is not a substitute for active driving involvement. It estimates but does not predict the curvature
and lane layout of the road ahead or the movement of vehicles ahead. It is the driver’s responsibility at all times to be
attentive to traffic and road conditions, and to provide the driving inputs necessary to retain control of the vehicle. System
may not detect some objects, obstacles or vehicles in the area into which the vehicle would move. See Operator’s Manual
for system operating speeds and additional information and warnings.
Drivers are cautioned not to wait for the system’s alerts before braking, as that may not afford sufficient time and distance
to brake safely. Braking effectiveness also depends on proper brake maintenance, and tire and road conditions. See
Operator’s Manual for system operating speeds and additional information and warnings.
No system, regardless of how advanced, can overcome the laws of physics or correct careless driving. Please always
wear your seat belt. Driver’s deliberate steering inputs are required to initiate the system’s action, and can override its
intervention at any time. See Operator’s Manual for system operating speeds and additional information and warnings.
System cannot prevent a collision, and does not alert the driver of an impending collision or system activation. It does not
intervene if vehicle is backing up, and does not apply the brakes if the driver is accelerating or if Active Parking Assist is
operating. When PRE-SAFE closes the side windows, a small gap is left near the fully closed position.
AMG DRIVE UNIT is not available with heated steering wheel, nor with Macchiato Beige/Magma Grey, Magma Grey/
Espresso Brown or designo Macchiato Beige/Titian Red Pearl leather.
