Mercedes CLS 350 is an icon of style and technical excellence among luxury 4-door coupes. This model was the first car that embodied the perfect tandem of elegance and dynamism characteristic of a coupe, with the functionality and comfort characteristic of sedans. In addition, the latest high-tech components have been used in the development of the CLS 350. Thanks to the high professionalism of specialists, a coupe was born that causes genuine delight and admiration among true motorists. And so this car should be told in more detail.

What's under the hood?

The latest Mercedes CLS 350 is a diesel version. Under its hood, a 3-liter 190-horsepower engine is installed, which allows the car to accelerate to 100 km / h in just 6.4 seconds. At the same time, the maximum speed limit for the coupe is limited to 250 km/h.

It is also worth noting that this model is not only powerful, but also economical. Per 100 "urban" kilometersMercedes CLS 350 CDI consumes only 7.3 liters of diesel. And in the extra-urban cycle, the consumption is 5.4 liters at all.

Controls

One more thing to tell about the characteristics of the Mercedes CLS 350. The transmission deserves special attention. The new generation CLS 350 is fitted with the innovative 9G-TRONIC 9-speed automatic transmission. It brings dynamics, comfort and economy to a whole new level. Interestingly, 9G-TRONIC helps reduce diesel consumption by approximately 6.5%.

Thanks to the finely tuned settings of the intelligent system, the gear shifts with minimal interruption in the torque supply. People who are accustomed to a dynamic driving style will definitely be satisfied, because this transmission can jump over steps. So it is possible to reach the desired crankshaft speed as quickly as possible.

But people who are accustomed to control the car will also be satisfied. After all, under the steering wheel there are “petals” for manual gear shifting.

Behavior on the road

People who own the Mercedes-Benz CLS 350 coupe pay special attention to its dynamism. This car behaves like a sports car on the road, despite the fact that it has a little less than two hundred “horses” under the hood. The car has an aggressive driving style. It starts instantly, reacting sharply to the actions of the driver, and its acceleration feels great. Handling, thanks to the 4MATIC all-wheel drive, is clear and precise. The person driving this carwill never experience problems such as skids, rolls, slips and grinding.

This car is also adapted for winter - in the snowy period, you can adjust the suspension and feel like driving a crossover. And if a person wants to enjoy the comfort of his car and the smoothness of the ride, then you can simply switch the gearbox to “comfort” mode. And the pendant too.

Mercedes CLS 350 reviewers claim that this car is designed to be enjoyed. You can ride it without breaking the speed limit. But at the same time, the pleasure of the process will be indescribable.

Equipment

Talking about the Mercedes CLS 350, one cannot fail to note the equipment included in the list of basic equipment.

This list includes Eco Start/Stop, speed-adjustable power steering, particulate filter, brake pad wear indicator, ABS, ASR and ESP with 3-stage control program, emergency braking and warning system about a collision, as well as an assistant that controls driver fatigue. In addition, there are window inflatable curtains and airbags protecting the pelvic girdle (in addition to those that are standard and generally accepted), immobilizer, central locking with remote control.

There are also such useful little things as an external temperature sensor, a folding armrest with a storage compartment, an analog clock in the dashboard, cup holders, an auto-dimming interior rear-view mirror, a 2-zone “climate”, interior lighting and evena system for detecting the presence of a load on the passenger seat. And all this is not even 1/10 of the equipment available in the Mercedes CLS 350.

Functionality

This topic cannot be ignored. Even owners mention the amazing functionality of the CLS 350 in all their reviews.

They especially like the Audi 20 CD multimedia system, which combines telecommunications, entertainment and information features. Many compare it to a computer. With this system, you can connect to the Internet or connect to your phone via Bluetooth, which features audio streaming and hands-free calling. It can also be used to transfer contacts and addresses from a smartphone to the head unit of the car.

More owners note Garmin's voice-controlled navigation system, which is available as an option. It renders buildings and streets in 3D and provides photorealistic support.

People also recommend ordering the optional passenger entertainment system, which includes two 17.8 cm wide color screens.

Comfort

I would like to say this in the end. All owners of this car unanimously agree that the comfort of the CLS 350 is at the highest level. This elegant coupe can even be practical. After all, thanks to the EASY-PACK-Quickfold system, the rear row of seats can be easily folded in a ratio of 1/3:2/3. So transporting bulky items becomes easy. Each backrest reclines individually, without the need to first remove the head restraints. All this thanks to the convenience control function in the trunk.

The owners also note the presence of the THERMATIC 2-zone automatic climate control. For passenger and driver, the temperature, distribution and volume of air supply are regulated separately. Thanks to the presence of several sensors, the adjusted microclimate is constantly maintained in each area of the cabin. Even the quality of the air coming from the external environment is controlled. And if the system detects an increased level of harmful substances in it, then the internal recirculation mode is activated.

Well, we can talk about the new generation CLS 350 for a long time. But even based on the above, we can confidently say that this is a functional, fast, comfortable and powerful car. The price of which, by the way, starts at four million rubles.
