The CLS-Class has been led by design since the first

swoopy saloon was launched back in 2005. Now on

its third generation, it’s still the machine of choice

for those who want a sober saloon with a subtle hint

of class. Shown here as a 4MATIC four-wheel drive

400d in special Edition 1 trim, the CLS has the

option of accommodating Mercedes-Benz’s

cutting-edge driver assistance technology, widely

seen as a stepping stone to the next level of

Mercedes-Benz CLS

autonomous driving. The top-of-the-line 450 model

also incorporates EQ Boost, a new ‘mild’ hybrid

system that throws in a few more electric

horsepower to help with acceleration. Add in the

optional Widescreen cockpit, which scatters the

dashboard with panoramic display screens, and you

have a classically elegant car that fuses traditional

style with the building blocks for tomorrow.
