WHEN the original Mercedes-Benz CLS arrived in Australia in 2004, it created waves for its unique styling and segment-busting design and dimensions.
Now the CLS is back in third-generation guise, with a completely new design language, new high-tech powertrains and new variants for the car described by the brand as the most design-focused vehicle in its range.
The CLS is the first vehicle to arrive in Australia powered by the new M256 inline six-cylinder petrol engine, as well as the first model to gain EQ Boost mild-hybrid technology across its line-up.
Mercedes says that CLS buyers want a blend of styling, technology and performance, and following an afternoon driving the mid-spec CLS450, customers should be pleased by the latest offering from the three-pointed star.
