Tradition runs deep at Mercedes-Benz, but it’s no pond of
reflection. More like rushing rapids, carving through stone
and changing the course of history. That’s because there’s
no stronger tradition under the Star than innovation — from
setting new standards to starting new trends, without ever
losing sight of what matters. By reinventing the coupe, the
CLS has redefined the course of the four-door automobile.

THE EXPRESSWAY TO SELF-EXPRESSION
No matter how deeply you gaze into a CLS, it only gets more and
more beautiful. On its surface, athletics and aesthetics unite as
one: Standard 19" wheels and AMG styling accentuate its agile
stance. Its details are elegant: A grille with timeless proportions.
A muscle-toned profile free of extraneous swooshes and strakes.
And shapely LED lighting front and rear. Its cabin welcomes five
adults into a sculpture garden of wood, leather and satin metal,
surrounding a new generation of sleek displays and multitouch
controls. Put a CLS in motion, and it rewards your senses even
more intensely than what starts with your eyes and fingertips.
The CLS is, above all, a Mercedes-Benz coupe. While four wide
doors make it even more inviting, they exemplify its tradition of
innovating — celebrating a rich history by making it fresh. Under
its hood, the classic inline-6 is reinvented with electric EQ Boost.
Its digital cockpit is made even more responsive — quite literally —
with a virtual voice assistant you can talk to like a real person.
A team of available driving assists can make its poised handling
inspire even more confidence. And while a spectrum of paint and
trim options let you self-express to impress, driving a CLS is an
even deeper beauty — destined to make your inner voice cheer.

TRADITION ADVANCED
For German performance coupe fans, the naturally
balanced inline-6 might be the most beloved engine
of all time. Its time has come again in the CLS, with
a futuristic reinvention of a classic powerplant. It’s
fully beltless, low-friction, light and compact. A twinscroll turbo helps it outpunch its 3.0L size in power
and torque. A 48-volt electrical system charges its
PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS
lithium-ion battery and runs the air conditioning and
power steering. It also drives its EQ Boost Integrated
Starter-Generator. The ISG can recapture energy as
you decelerate. Help the emission and fuel savings
of ECO Start/Stop feel more seamless. And best of
all, add instant, electric — gas-free — torque. All three
CLS coupes celebrate tradition by accelerating it.

TECHNOLOGY HIGHLIGHTS
A virtual personal assistant helps make the CLS cockpit
genuinely easy to use and enjoy. MBUX, the MercedesBenz User Experience, lets you control countless cabin
features by talking naturally. Just say “Hey, Mercedes”
and then “I’m cold” to turn up the heat, or “I’m hungry”
for MB Navigation to search. It can even show your next
turn with live on-screen video, augmented with guiding
graphics. You can also operate features by touch, using
steering-wheel and console touchpads and the central
touchscreen — one of two 12.3" screens, the other being
reconfigurable instruments. Gesture control, a Head-Up
Display, and a dashcam are available. MBUX also learns
from you: The more you use it, the more natural it gets.

From superhuman driver assists to a virtual
cockpit assistant that feels utterly human,
the CLS makes your well-being a top priority.
It can look out for you, listen to you, and take
action to back you up and move you ahead.
UNFORESEEN IN FOCUS
SAFETY HIGHLIGHTS
Mercedes-Benz engineers developed a network of radar,
cameras and other sensors for a simple reason: Humans
are human, with just one set of eyes to take in all that’s
happening around you as you drive. Your CLS can watch
ahead and into your blind spots to help avoid accidents,
and prepare if a crash is imminent, even helping “cover
your ears.” An available suite of driver assists can help
smooth your moves in numerous ways, such as adapting
your cruise speed as the limit changes. Easing your way
through traffic. Letting you change lanes with the tap of a
turn signal. And watching for danger ahead, even if it’s
coming from behind. All without blinking a virtual eye.

Is the CLS purely a design exercise? In a sense. The design
of a Mercedes-Benz always encompasses its engineering,
testing and craftsmanship. Agility and muscle tone surely
benefit from exercise. In a world of excess flourish, a CLS
displays elegant finesse — as it has since the beginning, when
its four-door coupe silhouette turned the tide of car design.
And while seemingly all four-doors chased its sleek shape,
it remains both an original and a standout. It’s foremost a
work of art that works. Its wide, Star-centered grille, powerdome hood and AMG lower bodywork envelop an advanced
powertrain teaming gasoline and electric power, and sending
abundant torque to the rear wheels or all four. Available in
seven 19" or 20" designs, the wheels are staggered in width
for optimal performance along with optical poise. Selective
damping offers refined ride comfort, yet instantly firms up
for tight corners. As the CLS delights its driver, passengers
can relish its contoured seating, fine finishes, and innovative
luxuries. And with two styling packages plus a spectrum of
special paint and leather options, a CLS is purely designed
to draw the admiration of occupants and onlookers alike.

The seduction of curves is ever-present in the AMG CLS 53.
Its athletic shape — a fluid sculpture evoking toned muscle —
ignites the recurring theme. Adaptive air suspension bonds
driver, car and winding roads via 19" or 20" AMG® wheels. It
can even draw the coupe’s already low profile closer to the
pavement at higher speeds. The attraction you’ll feel most
often, however, comes from its torque curve. The response
of its AMG-enhanced engine is enriched numerous ways,
starting with the natural balance of its inline-6 layout. This
classic configuration becomes a blast from the future with
three sources of boost: A twin-scroll turbo helps generate
429 hp and 384 lb-ft of torque from an efficient 3.0 liters.
An EQ Boost Integrated Starter-Generator can inject added
torque electrically, for quicker takeoffs and near-seamless
ECO Start/Stop. And an electric auxiliary compressor helps
the turbo spool up even quicker. All this torque is brilliantly
apportioned by AMG Performance 4MATIC + all-wheel drive,
from a 50/50 balance to 100% rear-drive — based on vehicle
dynamics, driving modes and more. Agile and advanced, the
CLS 53 sends the arc of progressive performance soaring.

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.
• 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.
• You can look up destinations on your phone and send
them to the MB 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.
The map database for your car’s MB Navigation system
can be updated in your driveway, over the air, up to twice
a year — with no need to bring it to the dealership.
• 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.
Your Mercedes-Benz dealer is helping make service and
maintenance even more convenient, with options such
as Express Service, Mobile Service, pickup and delivery,
online scheduling, and contactless payment. Your dealer
can tell you more about the specific benefits they offer.
• 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.
• From the AMG Lounge to #MBPhotoPass on Instagram,
Mercedes-Benz owners have many ways to connect
and interact.
Your car and your dealer are in on it, too.
• Mercedes me lets your car communicate its service
needs to your preferred dealer.

13 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.
14 The purchase of a new, SiriusXM®-equipped vehicle includes a 6-month introductory subscription to the
SiriusXM All Access package. Eligible pre-owned vehicles equipped with SiriusXM will receive a 3-month
trial subscription to SiriusXM All Access package. Trial length and service availability may vary by model,
model year or trim. 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.
15 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.
16 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.
17 Car-to-X services are activated as part of Mercedes me connect. Connected services operate only where
cellular and GPS satellite signals are available, which are provided by third parties and not within the control
of Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. See your dealer or MBUSA.com/mercedesme for details.
18 Unsecured cargo can become hazardous in a collision. Always secure cargo using the floor-mounted
tie-downs.
19 Wireless charging and NFC pairing available only for devices with compatible technology and size. See
Operator’s Manual for more information. Devices sold separately.
20 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.
21 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.
22 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.
23 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.
24 Driver is responsible for safely slowing and/or stopping vehicle at intersections, and for giving right-ofway 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.
25 Heated steering wheel is not available on AMG CLS 53 with AMG DRIVE UNIT or AMG Performance
steering wheel in DINAMICA.
26 Not available with Macchiato Beige/Magma Grey, Magma Grey/Espresso Brown or designo Macchiato
Beige/Titian Red Pearl leather.
27 Requires aluminum, Metal Weave, designo Black Piano Lacquer “Flowing Lines” or AMG Carbon Fiber
trim.
28 Requires AMG DRIVE UNIT. Not available with heated steering wheel, Warmth & Comfort Package, or with
Macchiato Beige/Magma Grey, Magma Grey/Espresso Brown or designo Macchiato Beige/Titian Red
Pearl leather.
29 Roadside Assistance repairs may involve charges for parts, service and towing. Vehicle must be accessible
from main roads. Depending on the circumstance, these services may be provided by an outside provider,
courtesy of Mercedes-Benz Roadside Assistance. Restricted roadways, acts of nature and vehicle
accessibility may limit our ability to provide services to you. For full details, eligibility requirements, and
limitations/exclusions of Sign and Drive services, as well as the Roadside Assistance Program, please see
your dealer.

* Item is optional or not available on some models. See Build Your Own in this brochure or visit MBUSA.com
for more information.
1 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.
2 All Mercedes me services operate only where cellular and GPS signals are available, which are provided
by third parties and not within the control of Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. Mercedes me connect assist
services, and 3 years of Mercedes me connect services are included at no additional charge with newvehicle sales and leases at an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer. Models with MB Navigation also include
3 years of over-the-air map updates (up to twice per year), 3 years of live traffic information provided by
HERE Technologies, and a 1-month trial (up to 1GB) of in-vehicle WiFi and streaming audio. Subscriber
Agreement is required for service to be active. Some services are only available on select vehicles. Your
PIN is required to use certain services. Connection may be limited by cellular signal and other factors.
Features may be introduced and updated at varying dates, and may also require a vehicle software update.
Some services may be limited or restricted in some areas. Driver is responsible for complying with traffic
and other laws. The Mercedes me connect Mobile App is compatible with Apple iPhone® models and
Android-based phones, and may require a software update. See your dealer or MBUSA.com/mercedesme
for details.
3 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.
4 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.
5 PRE-SAFE® closes the side windows when the system’s sensors detect side movements that suggest a
possible rollover or side impact. Audio/multimedia system must be turned on for PRE-SAFE Sound to
operate. PRE-SAFE PLUS 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.
6 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.
7 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.
8 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.
9 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.

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
