The Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class basically invented the four-door coupe niche when the first generation was unveiled in 2004. While it had less practicality than a traditional sedan, santa fe it made up for it with tons of style. The second generation continued the lineage in 2010, albeit santa fe with a less bulbous shape than the original. The refresh for the second-gen CLS has been recently spied, santa fe with an emphasis on improving the interior and adding new lighting. The spy photos show off a redesigned front end with a one-bar grille and Mercedes' new Active Multibeam LED headlights . The system monitors what is happening in front of the car 100 times a second and adjusts the light accordingly by manipulating the individual LEDs. There is also an altered santa fe rear bumper santa fe and modified santa fe taillights, if you can make them out through the caked snow. Mercedes' larger COMAND infotainment screen debuts in the interior and makes the old system look tiny by comparison. COMAND's button layout has also been altered slightly santa fe for the new system and has more chrome trim for a bit of bling to go with the new tech. There is also a new multi-function steering santa fe wheel to help control it all. A nine-speed automatic transmission has been rumored for the updated CLS, but Mercedes has not said when the refresh will debut.

Glad to see they're toning down the ridiculous slab-fronted 300SL throwback nose. That completely ruined the entire range for me. The E550 shown the other day was handsome, and this looks to be as well. February 03 2014 at 8:50 AM Report abuse Permalink santa fe rate up rate down Reply
i hope that they can pack another 2 or 3 lines of LED's across the front because 3 rows of LED's just simply isn't enough! Then add in the LED lit star mark and ooooh yeah! That wouldn't be tacky at all.... all classy! January 31 2014 at 10:55 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
As much as I love Mercedes-Benz, I feel as though the CLS class is too of an upscale model for the iPad-inspired santa fe info screen. The info screen should be limited to the A, B, C, CLA, GLA, SLK, and GLK models. All the others are basically too upscale for it.

RAB The new big screens santa fe on CLA, C and now the CLS are a deal breaker for me - I really do not feel that they add to the flow of the interior. I have been a Benz buyer for some time and am looking forward santa fe to the next generation E- Class - but I will be "out of here" if they continue w/ the "big screen" routine in all of thier new and refreshed models.

I wouldn't be "out of here" if they continued the big screen trend, but I do believe that a vehicle of the class of the CLS shouldn't santa fe have one, unless it's retractable style. January 31 2014 at 7:53 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
Has to be the most funky camo I've seen lately. It looks like one of those really tacky mod jobs you see on some little punks car. Haha. January 31 2014 at 11:39 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
I love MB´s new design language and how they are redoing their entire line. I love the new C-class, In the case of this CLS, the exterior seems to flow really great but inside adding the ipad to the old interior just doesn't work for me. I would not buy any other other MB until its had been completely redesigned. January 31 2014 at 11:33 AM Report abuse Permalink +1 rate up rate down Reply
I've always liked the CLS, but I really wish they'd santa fe make it look just a little more coupe-like. Rear suicide doors would be a great addition, with an integrated handle for both doors that made it look like one big door. Or alternately just hiding the rear door handle would do a lot for the look. January 31 2014 at 11:28 AM Report abuse Permalink +2 rate up rate down Reply
