2018 Mercedes-Benz CLS To Be Released In India On 16 November

1. 2018 Mercedes-Benz CLS Exterior

In terms of the exterior, the third-gen CLS still manages to keep its ‘four-door coupe’ lines, but more modern than previously.

The 2018 CLS is expected to have a greater length, width and height than the outgoing model. It will be 4,940mm long, 1,880mm wide and 1,420mm high with a new wheelbase which is 61mm longer than before.

The all-new CLS will get the latest Mercedes design which also appeared on the A-Class. To be more specific, in the front, the trapezoidal grille will come with a chrome slat and the central three-point star. Mercedes will also sweep the angular automatic headlamps back a little bit to add to the appeal of the vehicle. The bumper will feature an aggressive three-part layout.

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz CLS front will get some new luxurious features 

Moreover, the new CLS will sport a CLS-typical sloping roofline, a notchback boot, frameless doors and large 21-inch wheels on the side profile. In the rear, the gorgeous LED tail lamps are simple but harmonious with other features.

The side profile and the rear of the 2018 Mercedes-Benz CLS will also contribute to its appeal

The cabin of the new CLS is expected to be a modified version of the interior of the E-class. The dashboard will be equipped with the following features:

All of these features contribute to the 2018 Mercedes-Benz CLS’s luxurious cabin, like all other Mercedes cars.

3. 2018 Mercedes-Benz CLS Performance

 In terms of the performance, instead of two engine options, petrol and diesel motors, on the old CLS, the new CLS is expected to be powered by only a 2.0L, turbocharged diesel motor, which comes paired to a 9-speed automatic transmission.
