2018 Mercedes-Benz CLS 550

The CLS-Class has distinctive body-lines that combine the sporty character of a coupe with the practicality of a sedan. The CLS features a trademark coupe-like silhouette that still manages to incorporate sedan-like four doors. Available models include CLS 550 and AMG CLS 63. The CLS550 uses a 402-hp 4.7-liter V8. The more aggressive AMG CLS63 4MATIC has a 577-hp 5.5-liter bi-turbo V8. The CLS550 sends power to the wheels via a nine-speed automatic transmission, while the AMG uses a seven-speed automatic transmission. All models are equipped with Mercedes-Benz's Pre-Safe system, which will automatically close the sunroof and move the front seats to the safest position if sensors automatically detect an impending collision. More traditional safety features such as side-curtain airbags and anti-lock brakes also come standard. As expected from Mercedes, luxury appointments abound. With features like power front seats, four-zone automatic climate control, satellite surround sound audio, and doors that shut themselves if you forget to, comfort and convenience are everywhere. The CLS is a carry-over model for 2018.
