For many famous car They released a replacement, which is not particularly similar in design to the previous model, but as a supercar it is good. This is the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG - a car released by the company in 2010.

This car was initially shown at an exhibition in Frankfurt, this show took place in 2009, and the sale itself began in 2010. In 2013, the manufacturer stated that production of this car will be discontinued, in 2014 they actually stopped producing this model as they released a car to replace this model and replaced it.

Design

Although this model It has not been produced for 2 years, but this does not prevent it from looking modern and attractive. The muzzle is distinguished by a long, embossed hood, which received small headlights with lens and LED equipment. The large radiator grille received a huge chrome-plated company logo and 2 also chrome-plated horizontal bars in the middle. On the bumper there are small air ducts for the front brake system and that's basically it.

The side view will surprise you with the very shape of the body; it is from here that you can see how long the hood is. The doors open upward, in the so-called gullwing style. Huge wheel arches We got 19th wheels, but 20th wheels can be an option. In front of the door there are so-called gills with chrome lines; they not only add sporty style, but also hot air from the motor.

The rear looks simpler than the front, with smoother details. Narrow oval headlights, smooth trunk and bumper. By the way, two exhaust pipes were beautifully inserted into the bumper. In the middle at the bottom there is an LED brake light repeater. There is a retractable spoiler on the trunk lid.

Coupe dimensions:

• length – 4638 mm;
• width – 2078 mm;
• height – 1262 mm;
• wheelbase – 2680 mm;
• ground clearance– 99 mm.

There is also a convertible, which has several minor differences, and in terms of dimensions it is already 139 mm and 1 millimeter lower.

Specifications

The unit installed in this car was developed by Mercedes-Benz and therefore its characteristics are at the same level. This is a petrol naturally aspirated V-shaped engine with 8 cylinders, which with a volume of 6.2 liters produces 571 horsepower. There are 4 valves installed per cylinder and as a result the engine has 32 valves.

The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG engine transmits everything only to the rear wheels and works together with a 7-speed transmission equipped with 2 clutches, this improves the acceleration of the car and also reduces fuel consumption, which is 13 liters per hundred kilometers.

Thanks to all this, the car accelerates to hundreds in 3.8 seconds, and its top speed is 320 km/h. The engine is complex, which is why it emits little harmful substances V environment and is very environmentally friendly.

The coupe stops with the help of ceramic disc brakes, which do their job perfectly. The car has a short braking distance even if the initial speed was high. Since this is a sports car, it should handle smartly, and the engineers took care of this. It uses aluminum independent double wishbone suspension at the front and rear, which allows the model to feel good on the road.

Interior

Inside the car, the driver's seat is completely made in the company's style, but then the style is a little unusual for fans.

The steering wheel is made like in all the company's cars, the center console has a slightly different look. Between two air deflectors, which look like airplane turbines, there is a monitor that displays information about the multimedia system and navigation system. Inside, the driver and passenger will be able to enjoy the excellent Bang & Olufsen audio system, which will provide luxurious sound, so that music lovers will be satisfied.

Next is the audio and navigation control unit, which can also be controlled using voice. The block is not small, which indicates the breadth of tinctures. Next we have a beautiful climate control unit, which consists of a small display, two so-called knobs and buttons. The tunnel received a small gearbox selector, a multimedia system control puck, an engine start button, disabling ESP and turning on AMG mode.

The cabin is designed only for two passengers, but they will feel comfortable in this car, and during dynamic driving they will not fly out of the seats, since the lateral support is simply excellent. Of course there is luggage compartment, it is located at the back, but hardly anyone is interested in this at all. Nevertheless, if there are such people, then here is a figure for you - 176 liters. This is small, but in principle it is large here and is not needed.

Price

Now the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG has already been discontinued, but at that time it cost at least $390,000, which at that time was equal to 11,500,000 rubles. At least in our country, this model was sold for exactly that amount.

The model could please with the presence of:

• separate climate control;
• cruise control;
• keyless access;
• leather interior;
• navigation system;
• voice controlled audio systems;
• Blind spot monitoring is available for a fee.

The manufacturer managed to make a beautiful, fast and environmentally friendly car, but unfortunately, not everyone can afford it, although most likely many people want it.

Mercedes-Benz CLS-class is a premium “four-door coupe” of the mid-size class (although in fact it is a fastback sedan), which “combines the sportiness and elegance of a coupe with the comfort and functionality of a sedan” (but at the same time goes beyond the ordinary understanding of this body type)… Its target audience is energetic and wealthy people (primarily men) who want to get a stylish and luxury car with a sporty character...

The third generation of Mercedes-Benz CLS made its world debut at the end of November 2017 - on the stage of the international auto show in Los Angeles.

Compared to its predecessor, the four-door retained recognizable proportions, but received new design, luxury salon and modern technical “stuffing”, and borrowed many solutions from E- and S-class models.

Without exaggeration, the car looks stunning, and its “pedigree” can be seen in every detail – of course, because this three-volume car was the first among Mercedes to try on a design that the Germans call both “sensual simplicity” and “hot & cool”.

The facade of the three-volume exhibits a piercing gaze LED optics, a “family” radiator grille with a huge “three-pointed star” and a relief bumper, and its tightly built rear boasts graceful lights and a “plump” bumper with two trapezoidal pipes exhaust system.

But most of all, the four-door is captivating in its profile - a long hood, a sloping roof that turns into a massive extension of the trunk, expressive “splashes” on the sidewalls and large cutouts of the wheel arches.

The “third” Mercedes-Benz CLS-class in its dimensions belongs to the E-segment according to the European classification: its length is 4988 mm, its width is 1890 mm, and its height does not go beyond 1404 mm. The car's wheelbase extends to 2939 mm, and its ground clearance is a modest 118 mm.

Inside, the Mercedes-Benz CLS “2019 model year” echoes other large models of the brand - in general, the car has beautiful, noble and soft interior lines that are diluted with high-tech elements.

Before the driver's eyes are a three-spoke multi-steering wheel with a textured rim and two 12.3-inch displays: the first plays the role of a dashboard, and the second manages the infotainment functions. The monumental center console attracts the eye with four air deflectors, stylized as aircraft turbines, and a laconic block air conditioning system and a beautiful analog clock.

The premium status of the “four-door coupe” is emphasized by impeccable ergonomics and exceptionally expensive finishing materials (high-quality leather, natural wood, aluminum, etc.).

The interior of the car can have a five- or four-seater layout: in the first case, a comfortable sofa is placed in the back row, capable of accommodating three people (although the middle passenger will be uncomfortable with a short pillow and a high floor tunnel), and in the second case, there are two separate chairs with a panel in the center.
The front passengers find themselves in the tight embrace of embossed seats with pronounced sidewalls, optimally hard padding and a huge range of adjustments in various directions.

The four-door has no problems with practicality - its trunk in normal condition can accommodate up to 520 liters of luggage. The folding 40:20:40 split second row of seats slightly increases cargo capabilities cars, allowing you to transport long items.

Four modifications are announced for the Mercedes-Benz CLS-class, which are equipped exclusively with a 9-band automatic transmission and all-wheel drive transmission 4Matic with an asymmetrical center differential, which normally sends 45% of the traction to the front wheels and 55% to the rear:

• Under the hood CLS350d 4Matic is an in-line six-cylinder diesel engine OM 656 with a displacement of 2.9 liters with direct fuel injection, turbocharging, intercooler and 24-valve timing, producing 286 Horse power at 3400-4600 rpm and 600 Nm of torque at 1200-3200 rpm.
• Next version in hierarchy CLS400d 4Matic is armed with the same engine, but here its output is 340 hp. at 3400-4400 rpm and 700 Nm of peak potential at 1200-3200 rpm.
• “Younger” petrol version CLS350 4Matic is driven by a four-cylinder M264 unit with a displacement of 2.0 liters with in-line architecture, a pair of twin-scroll dual-flow turbochargers, a direct fuel supply system and variable gas distribution phase technology, developing 299 hp. at 5800-6100 rpm and 400 Nm of rotating output at 3000-4000 rpm.
  It is assisted (in the first seconds of acceleration) by the EQ Boost hybrid system (a belt-driven starter-generator, “powered” by a 48-volt battery), generating 14 hp. and 150 Nm.
• "Senior" petrol version CLS450 4Matic boasts a 3.0-liter M256 “six” with a vertical layout, direct “power”, variable valve timing, an eZV auxiliary electric compressor operating in conjunction with a conventional turbine, and an EQ Boost starter-generator (the last two devices are “powered” by a 48-volt battery ). As standard, the unit produces 367 horsepower and 500 Nm of available thrust, but the electric motor allows you to briefly increase these figures by another 22 hp. and 250 Nm respectively.

Depending on the version, this car rushes from zero to the first hundred in 4.8~6.2 seconds, and is capable of reaching a maximum speed of 250 km/h (such indicators are limited by the electronic “collar”).

Diesel modifications of the four-door “digest” from 5.8 to 5.9 liters of fuel for every 100 km in the combined cycle, and gasoline modifications – no more than 7.8 liters.

The “third” Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class is based on a modular “rear-wheel drive” MRA platform, and its body structure combines high-strength steel and aluminum.

The four-door is equipped as standard independent suspensions both axles with passive shock absorbers, steel springs and transverse stabilizers: double wishbone at the front, multi-link at the rear.

An adaptive chassis with electronically controlled shock absorbers or Air Body Control air suspension with several operating modes are available as options for the car.

All wheels of the three-volume vehicle contain powerful disc brakes with ventilation, working in conjunction with ABS, EBD and a bunch of other modern “assistants”. Standardly, the “German” is equipped with a rack and pinion steering system with electric amplifier control and variable gear ratio.

On Russian market Mercedes-Benz CLS-class is offered in two equipment options – “Elegance” and “Sport”.

According to data for 2018: for the CLS350d 4Matic in the “elegant” configuration, dealers are asking a minimum of 4,950,000 rubles; for the CLS400d 4Matic you will have to pay from 5,610,000 rubles; and the petrol version of the CLS450 4Matic costs from 5,660,000 rubles. The “sports” option in all cases will cost 250,000 rubles more, with the exception of the CLS350 4Matic version – its cost starts at 5,100,000 rubles (in this case, the “Elegance” solution is not provided).

• As standard, the car is equipped with: seven airbags, leather interior trim, 18-inch alloy wheels, heated and ventilated front seats, a multimedia system, a navigator, a camera rear view, heated steering wheel, LED headlights, virtual instrument cluster, premium Burmester audio system, blind spot monitoring, technology automatic braking, two-zone “climate”, automatic parking system and “darkness” of other modern equipment.
• Distinctive features of the “Sport” version are: 19-inch wheel rims, an AMG body kit around the perimeter of the body, matrix LED headlights, lowered suspension and some other details.

One of the most notable premieres at the Los Angeles Auto Show was updated model. In the few days following the premiere, the model received a huge amount of praise, positive comments and exclamations of admiration. In my purely personal opinion, the car turned out to be very strange in appearance. Its back part generally resembles stylized virtual models from the familiar GTA game... I guess I need to first get used to the style and try to objectively figure out whether the new model is really so strange or is it still different from its predecessor in better side.

After reading foreign comments on the new Mercedes-Benz CLS, I came to some conclusions that, combined in one material, will help us understand what has changed and who is better, the new or the old CLS.

What were most viewers impressed by? Maybe everyone was amazed technical features sedan coupe? Or has the range of the engine line expanded so much that everyone gasped? No! As I said just above, the main features that attracted the attention of car fans were the design. Why? It's simple, it turned out to be expected and exactly as most people imagined it. Sporty, to a certain extent removed from the strictly E-Class style. Moderately sporty, very stylish. In general, a classic look at the topic.

Just remember the first generation CLS. Very unique and extremely unusual car. It was the world's first four-door coupe, which followed a string of similar-spirited models from other automakers, such as the most famous in the style of the Audi A7 Sportback and BMW 6-Series Gran Coupe.

Having created a completely new niche and won the sympathy of millions, Mercedes has revised the design next model the second generation, which abandoned smoothed lines, moving to a sharp, sometimes angular, but no less attractive design.

The third generation again crossed out the entire previous path of development, returning again to the roots. More smoothness on surfaces, less violent curves distracting from the base.

So it turns out that the new 2019 CLS should remind you of the styling of the first generation CLS. Don't believe me? Check it out!

W219 Mercedes-Benz CLS (2005-2010)

Comparing the appearance of the C218 and C257 models

As you can see in the side-by-side comparison photos, the German automaker has again decided to let the design elements look more natural, running them freely from the edge of the headlights, all the way to the rear of the car. Against the background of the third generation, we can directly say that the previous version was overloaded with stylistic decisions.

The successor has become more monolithic, which is certainly better.

In addition, in 2019 model year The CLS looks more like a real coupe thanks to its sharpened front end. The air intakes stretch horizontally and the quadrangular grille covering the radiator has a wider base, which visually lowers the face of the car.

Narrow headlights, and the hood edge that has slid down, only add to the sportiness and appearance of a true new coupe.

The new model is no longer a kind of compactS-Class…

Back view. Answer honestly in the comments, do you like him? I repeat once again, as for me, you can’t look at it without tears. It seems that after working on ¾ of the body, the designers suddenly became too lazy to do anything with the rear of the car and decided to make minimal changes.

In the end, it turned out that the trunk, compared to the second version, although different, is very similar to the element from the C219, the bumper seems to be new, but it is not very different from its predecessor. Nozzles for exhaust pipes, we won’t argue, they have changed, noticeably. Lanterns too. But they are the ones who ruin everything...

« GTA style" is visible in the brake lights of the third generation model.

Interior of two modelsCLS

But the interior, no doubt, has clearly become better than that of early model. It received a new steering wheel and new finishing materials, which were not used on the restyled model. If you like the look of the new interior, you will definitely like inner world CLS.

There was special attention to detail here, even the ventilation holes are illuminated, not to mention comfort and convenience. Security technologies are also at their best, they have seamlessly flowed from

Price: from 5,160,000 rub.

The third generation of the new Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class 2018-2019 was shown at the 2017 Los Angeles Auto Show. The four-door coupe was the main discovery at the exhibition, all attention was devoted only to it. It immediately became known that the new generation under the symbol C257 will not be sold as a station wagon - low sales at C218.

The car went on sale in the spring of 2018 and has now reached Russia with a base price tag of 5,160,000 rubles. In the review we will discuss changes in appearance, interior and technical characteristics. As usual, let's start with design.

Opening of a new design for the line

Mercedes long ago came up with the idea of ​​making its own cars similar friend on a friend. A new style in future generations, and the rest were brought by the CLS. The car has changed in many ways, but it is impossible to call it radically new without one element.

The front part is reminiscent due to the smooth lines and style of the optics, although it is of a different shape. The new elongated narrow diode optics are equipped with MULTIBEAM LED technology, which turns on the low beam only when necessary. High beam LED headlights ULTA RANGE does not blind oncoming drivers by distributing the beam of light and turning off some of the LEDs when they are detected. Optics are installed in the base High Performance different design.

The corporate style of the radiator grille was not greatly affected. There is a three-pointed star in the center, and the grille itself is chrome dots with mesh at the back. The manufacturer calls it diamond with Panamericana contour. The car's bumper at the bottom edges received false air intakes with two horizontal crossbars. The shape of the air intake and the lower part of the bumper changes depending on the version, for example, chrome elements are added.

Visual part Mercedes CLS depends on the package, the standard and AMG packages differ. Look at the photo for the difference.

From the side, the smoothness of the shapes is even greater; its light, barely noticeable lines look cool. Trend modern design, transferred to cars looks really chic. The barely inflated wheel arches swell even more when you order the AMG package. The window frame, as well as the door handles, are chrome-plated, and the rear-view mirrors are also mounted on a base. The shape of the body in profile has remained almost unchanged, but from the rear the rise from the trunk lid to the roof is no longer noticeable.

Basic wheels are 18-inch, with optional 19- and 20-inch wheels.

The stern of the car was discussed for a long time - the decision was partly an amateur. The trunk lid has been shaped to form an anti-wing, but it is almost invisible. The new narrow diode optics with 3D separation and Edgelight crystals look cool. A rear view camera emerges from under the logo. The bumper is muscular and extends far from the body. It has vertical slots on the side, horizontal light reflectors and chrome-plated exhaust tips. Mercedes CLS 2018-2019. The overall tandem turned out to be incredibly beautiful.

The car has significantly increased in size:

• length – 4988 mm;
• width – 1890 mm;
• height – 1435 mm;
• wheelbase – 2939 mm;
• ground clearance - 93 mm (the only place where it has decreased).

• white non-metallic;
• black non-metallic;
• grey;
• black ruby;
• blue;
• gray graphite;
• brown;
• silver;
• black obsidian.

All colors are free, but there are unique solutions for those who like to stand out: hyacinth (115,000 rubles); white diamond (155,000 rubles); gray selenite (263,000 rubles).

The design work was beneficial; the smooth shapes reduced the drag coefficient to 0.26 Cx.

Familiar adjusted interior

The previous generation did not receive a new interior, but the Mercedes-Benz CLS C257 immediately received a restyled version of the interior. Inside, everything is covered in Nappa leather, from the seats to the dashboard. There are a lot of aluminum and wood-look inserts.

The front seats are soft, thick with massive adjustable lateral support. The heating, ventilation and massage function is installed, but not in every configuration. Electrical adjustments in the base with memory function. There's really a sofa in the back, there's a lot of space, it's nice to be there. Plus rear passengers There are two deflectors, buttons for separate climate control and separate displays for the entertainment system.

Colors for seat upholstery and interior CLS:

• beige with perforation;
• black with perforation;
• black with yellow stitching;
• beige;
• red/black;
• brown;

• carbon;
• matte;
• black piano lacquer;
• light brown ligature;
• from walnut wood;
• black ash;
• silver ash;
• brown ash;
• aluminum.

The driver's seat is equipped with a 3-spoke leather steering wheel with chrome spokes and remote multimedia control buttons. The column is different, there are completely round, beveled, with leather trim, made of wood, etc. There are many options.

In front of the driver are two 12.3-inch In-Car Office displays combined into one. Left – dashboard, simulating analog gauges, showing all the information about the car. Right – multimedia and navigation. Before the driver’s eyes there is also a projection of the image on the windshield measuring 21 x 7 cm.

In the center below the new display are 4 new backlit air vents. They look nice and the most interesting thing is that the color of the backlight changes depending on the temperature. The contour lighting of the entire interior of the Mercedes CLS-Class 2018-2019 is also pleasing to the eye, firstly, it creates the effect of floating elements, and secondly, you can choose your own color from 64 through multimedia.

At the transition to the tunnel there are climate control joysticks and an IWC analog clock. Under the cover on the tunnel there are cup holders, after which we see the multimedia control unit. It is represented by a puck, or a puck with a touchpad. To the left of it is a video for selecting the vehicle’s behavior mode, to the right is a volume control for the audio system, and everything else is buttons for various functions.

The trunk remains the same 520-liter volume. If necessary, fold in a 40/20/40 ratio.
