Interior Features Premium Nappa Leather Available in Select Colors
The second-generation CLS, which became a new design icon for Mercedes with its sophisticated and dynamic styling, inherited an elegant and distinctive design that strongly appeals to the senses, while also possessing a massive and sharp body line. It generated significant buzz upon its announcement last February.
This time, a luxurious limited-edition special model has been released, further enhancing its elegant and sporty styling with premium Nappa leather and the popular AMG sports package.
The base model is the "CLS BlueEFFICIENCY," equipped with a 3.5-liter V6 direct-injection engine producing a maximum output of 306 ps (225 kW) at 6,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 370 Nm (37.7 kgm) between 3,500-5,250 rpm. The interior features exclusive "designo" leather of the highest quality, typically found in the "CLS 63 AMG." Customers can choose from five distinctive leather colors: Classic Red, Pastel Yellow, Light Brown, Deep White, and Misty Blue.
Equipment includes the popular AMG sports package as standard, featuring 19-inch AMG 5-spoke alloy wheels, the AMG styling package (front spoiler, rear skirt), and AIRMATIC suspension. Additionally, a glass sliding sunroof with an anti-pinch function is included. For body colors, in addition to the standard 10 colors, the passionate "designo Zircon Red" is available as an option for an additional 750,000 yen.
The steering wheel can be selected for either the left or right side, and the price is 10,485,000 yen, an increase of 1,185,000 yen over the base model.
