History of Mercedes CLS / Mercedes CLS

Mercedes-Benz CLS is a four-door coupe from DaimlerChrysler. In 2003 at Frankfurt Motor Show Mercedes-Benz presented a concept based on the E-class - Mercedes Vision CLS. The production model appeared only a year later at the Geneva auto show and is practically no different from the concept car, and the name remains unchanged - Mercedes CLS.

Despite the often used phrase "four-door coupe" in relation to this car, the Mercedes CLS is a sedan, but with a strongly raked C-pillar that smoothly flows into rear overhang. That is why in profile the new product resembles a massive and luxurious coupe. However, the car has all the generic characteristics of sedans, since it has a closed three-volume four-door body with a trunk isolated from the passenger compartment. The Mercedes-Benz company positions this model, its cost and equipment between Mercedes sedans E-Class and Mercedes S-Class, this is also indicated by the abbreviation CLS.

The Mercedes CLS is based on the platform from the E-class, from which it is borrowed wheelbase and a line of engines, but the body of the car is fundamentally new. The CLS received different headlights than the E-Class, of which there were previously four. In general, the front part of the 4-door coupe is completely different from the E-Class and looks very dynamic. The car's design is made in best traditions brands: a streamlined appearance, a long hood, a sloping roofline, a high window sill line and a spectacular understamping that stretches from the front wheel arch to the lower edge of the short, high trunk lid.

The inside of the car is spacious, as in a full-size sedan, which is no wonder given the very impressive dimensions of the Mercedes CLS: the length of the car is 4.91 meters, the height is 1.38 meters, the wheelbase is 2.854 mm. Volume luggage compartment allows you not to worry about placing suitcases, it is 505 liters. The interior design is made of cream-colored leather, the front part has wooden inserts and numerous control keys for on-board systems.

Only two engines are initially planned for the new Mercedes CLS. These are a 3.5-liter six-cylinder with 272 horsepower, as well as a five-liter V8 with 306 horsepower. From zero to one hundred kilometers per hour, the coupe will accelerate in 7.0 and 6.1 seconds, respectively. The maximum speed of both modifications will be limited to 250 kilometers per hour. We also note that the Mercedes CLS will be equipped with a new seven-speed automatic transmission. There will also be a CLS AMG version with a 5.4-liter engine with a compressor producing about 500 hp.

The CLS 350 will come standard with 17-in. wheel disks, while the eight-cylinder car will already receive 18-inch wheels. Due to the 85% unification of components and assemblies with the E-class, there are not very many technical innovations, but they are significant. The most noticeable is the active bi-xenon headlights, which can “look around the corner”, which increases the level of active safety. (By the way, the complex shape of their lampshades suggests that the famous “big-eyed” front end on the E-Class will soon come to an end.) In addition, the coupe is equipped with modern passive and active safety systems, including modernization of the brakes, replenished with electronic systems that are noticeably make it easier to control deceleration in traffic jams and start on a slope. As an option, the CLS will receive adaptive cruise control and the Comand system.

In 2008, a new milestone occurred in the history of the CLS model. Updated model not much, but still different from what was first shown at the Geneva Motor Show in 2004. New touches inscribed in the old contours made the appearance of the four-door coupe even more solid and not so heavy. At the front there is a new radiator grille with two crossbars instead of four and a gray mesh covering the space behind the grille and the air intake opening in the bumper. This gave the appearance even more aggression. Built in side mirrors(the area of ​​which has increased by 32%), the turn signals are now LED and shaped like arrows. On the side, new alloy wheels immediately stand out, 17-inch for CLS versions 280, CLS 320 CDI and CLS 350 CGI, 18-inch for the CLS 500 and 19-inch for the CLS 63 AMG. The rear of the car has also changed a bit. Exhaust pipes now not oval, but trapezoidal. The bumper itself has become somewhat different: it seems to have gone deeper into the car at the bottom. Design rear lights remained the same, but the brake light and direction indicators received LED technology.

The interior has also been updated. The instrument cluster has changed slightly, new finishing materials and a multifunctional three-spoke steering wheel have appeared. The interior is of greater interest new system Comand control and display with 6.5-inch color monitor. All the main multimedia functions and navigation system are tied to it. All this can be controlled both by pressing the corresponding keys and by voice.

Engineers from Stuttgart did not limit themselves to design delights. The updated basic version of the CLS uses a new V-shaped “six” with a displacement of 2996 cm3. The rated power of the power unit is 231 hp, and the maximum torque of 300 Nm is achieved already at 2500 crankshaft revolutions and lasts up to 5000 revolutions. Thanks to this, acceleration to 100 km/h in the CLS 280 takes 7.7 seconds, and maximum speed equal to 245 km/h. Average fuel consumption is 9.8-10.0 liters per 100 km.

In 2010, the long-awaited event took place at the Paris International Motor Show. world premiere second generation CLS coupe. The car is built on the basis of the W212 E-class. Mercedes-Benz designers, while maintaining the “family” features, added touches to the appearance of the new generation model that made the car’s exterior much more modern and elegant. The exterior is inspired by two CLS concept cars. Shooting Brake Concept and F800 Style: sloping roofline, wide wheel arches, LED optics, radiator grille of impressive size.

The 2011 Mercedes CLS has not gained weight (the weight remains the same 1735 kg), but has increased slightly in size, its length has increased by 27 mm (up to 4940 mm), and its wheelbase has increased by 20 mm (2874 mm). The widespread use of aluminum, which was chosen as the material for the hood, trunk lid, doors, front fenders and part of the suspension elements, made it possible to save weight with new proportions.

Inside, the Mercedes-Benz CLS echoes that of the E-Class. Front panel architecture, steering column, arrangement of instruments, control of interior comfort functions - everything is perfectly arranged. The finishing is characterized by a wider use of leather, wood and metal inserts. The CLS trim offers five color options for the overall interior, five options for moldings and appliqués, and three options for selecting leather quality. A special feature is the leather-trimmed front panel with hand-stitched stitching. The top option, the “Passion” package, features leather that has retained its original porosity structure and conveys all its naturalness. Back row designed for two and will give passengers less comfort than front landing. Interestingly, unlike the first model, the 2011 CLS with a 520-liter trunk is not deprived of practicality - it folds the rear seats, which increases loading volume.

The second generation Mercedes-Benz CLS will receive a new 4-cylinder engine; it will be equipped with a diesel modification of the 2.1-liter (204 hp, torque 500 Nm) CLS 250 CDI. With this unit, the car has pretty good dynamics and excellent fuel consumption. It accelerates from zero to “hundreds” in 7.5 seconds, with a top speed of 242 km/h. IN mixed cycle The car consumes 5.1 liters of fuel per 100 km. The petrol 3.6-liter “six” (306 hp, torque 370 Nm) CLS 350 CGI accelerates to one hundred in 6.1 seconds and is capable of reaching a speed of 250 km/h. The diesel V6 on the CLS 350 CDI (265 hp, 620 Nm torque) has almost the same capabilities and is more economical. And finally, the 8-cylinder 4.7-liter (with an exorbitant 435 hp with a torque of 700 Nm, available from 1800 rpm) engine on the top-end configuration of the CLS 500. Of course, the top-end in this palette is considered the CLS 63 AMG V8 variant with 544 horsepower and a maximum torque of 800 Nm.

All Mercedes-Benz configurations CLS 2011 model year are paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission 7G-Tronic. The car can be front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive (all-wheel drive is provided by the 4Matic transmission). All variants will be equipped with the Start Stop function as standard.

Electronics control the position of the car on the road. It scans the markings and prevents the driver from falling out of the lane. Cameras and sensors monitor blind spots and display warning signals on the computer screen. The machine is ready to intervene even if an unexpected obstacle arises. For this purpose, Pre-safe technology and “active” brakes are used. Steering— parametric: the lower the speed, the lighter the steering. And its highlight is its self-adjusting centering, when the steering resistance to turning increases with increasing speed. This creates the illusion of sporty driving. Nine airbags already available complete the picture. basic configuration, infrared camera (for night vision), systems automatic parking, high beam control.

Mercedes CLS-class Shooting Brake was presented at the Geneva Motor Show in 2012. The car is a sports station wagon with smooth coupe lines.

Dimensions: 4,956 mm long, 1,881 mm wide and 1,413 mm high. This means that the estate is 16 millimeters longer and three millimeters lower than the CLS coupe, and also has a slightly longer wheelbase.

Mercedes body CLS Shooting Brake 2012 has muscular shapes, LED optics and 20-inch alloy wheels are installed. Each of the all-LED headlights uses 71 diodes. Of these, 13 are turn signals, ten are lights for the night vision system and two are a section designed to illuminate turns. In addition, the car was trained to independently switch from high beam to low beam and back.

The roof at the rear of the car is not as low as it might seem at first glance. This effect is simply created due to the shape of the window line, converging towards the rear of the car like a sharp wedge. Finished in chrome, it draws attention to itself and makes the height of the car less noticeable.

The trunk volume of the Shooting Brake modification with the second row seats up is 590 liters, and with the seats folded down - 1548 liters. Optionally, the trunk can be ordered in a rich American cherry wood finish with bog oak inlay. It is noteworthy that already in the basic configuration the fifth door is equipped with an electric drive.

Interior elements are made of high-quality plastic, leather and expensive wood, which is typical for all Mercedes models premium class. The front part of the station wagon's interior has not undergone any changes compared to the four-door. The CLS Shooting Brake, unlike the coupe, received a solid rear bench designed for three passengers.

Line of power Mercedes units The CLS-class Shooting Brake has several diesel and petrol options. The CLS 250 CDI modification received a 2.1-liter diesel engine developing 204 horsepower, and the 350 CDI version received a 265-horsepower 3-liter V6. Base gasoline engine volume 3.5 liters and power 306 hp. The CLS 350 will be available, and the flagship will be the V8 version - the CLS 500. Under its hood is a supercharged 4.6-liter engine. It is capable of producing up to 408 “horses” in the range of 5000–5750 rpm and 600 Nm, starting at 1600 rpm and ending at 4750 rpm. Fuel consumption in the combined cycle for the all-wheel drive version is stated at 9.9 l/100 km, while for a single-wheel drive car the figure is 9.3 l per hundred. The first of the listed engines boasts a minimum fuel consumption of 5.3 liters per 100 km.

The basic configuration includes a single-wheel drive station wagon ( front-wheel drive). All-wheel drive version available as an option.

The CLS-class Shooting Brake suspension is tuned to achieve maximum comfort and driving pleasure. The front suspension is McPherson type, the rear is multi-link. Already as standard, the car is equipped with pneumatic rear suspension, maintaining constant ground clearance regardless of load. Active air suspension AirMatic, which makes the car sporty and comfortable at the same time.

The “charged” version is worth special attention. From a front view, there are not so many differences in the AMG version - a different arrangement of LED strips, modified air intakes, and a carbon splitter (in ordinary cars it is painted in body color). The interior has carbon weaving instead of wooden inserts. The layout of the buttons on the central tunnel has completely changed.

Under the hood is a 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 that develops 525 hp. With this engine, the car accelerates to 100 km/h in 4.4 seconds. Fuel consumption is 10.1 liters of fuel per 100 km in the combined cycle.

In AMG versions, instead of the usual 7-G Tronic automatic transmission, a modified version called AMG Speedshift MCT is installed. Here, instead of a torque converter, there is a multi-plate “wet” clutch, as well as electronic filling different from the original one: thanks to this, the box, in addition to four operating modes, received launch control (here it is called Racing Start). IN manual mode or in Sport+ position, shifts take 100 milliseconds.

In accordance with powerful motor For the AMG version, the station wagon's suspension, steering and braking system were changed. AMG suspension Ride Control also operates in three modes - Comfort, Sport and Sport plus, which can be changed at the touch of a button, adjusting the car to the road conditions. The difference between comfortable and sport modes the “charged” version is more noticeable. The Sport mode is quite harsh, once you activate it, passengers will have a great feel for the type of surface the car is driving on. Concerning brake system, then ventilated carbon ceramic brakes are optionally available for the CLS 63 AMG Shooting Brake brake discs 360 mm.

There is also an Edition 1 version. In it, the engine is boosted to 557 “horses” and 800 “newtons”. Acceleration to 100 km/h takes 4.3 seconds.

Mercedes CLS-class Shooting Brake ideally combines several of the most important qualities of a modern car: sport, comfort, safety, status.



The line of Mercedes cars has been replenished with a new, third generation elegant sedan Mercedes-Benz CLS 2018-2019. The new product was first shown to the general public at the Los Angeles Auto Show, which started in early December. The modernized four-door, the first among the models of the German brand to try on the new design, will go on sale on the European market in March 2018. The sedan will appear in Russia, the USA and China a little later – in the summer of next year. The first buyers will be able to purchase the new Mercedes CLS 2018-2019 only in top versions with six-cylinder petrol and diesel engines. starting price new items will be approximately 57 thousand dollars. Station Wagon Shooting Brake was left out due to low demand and will not be offered in the new generation.

New design direction

The “third” Mercedes CLS became a kind of pioneer on which designers from Stuttgart tested new concept external design. It consists of maximally smoothing surfaces, giving clean lines and forming an ideal car silhouette from an aerodynamic point of view. True, it must be said that in relation to the central laser, the developers went a little too far, as a result of which the car body turned out to be too “sleek” and for this reason practically devoid of any catchy details and transitions. But truly outstanding aerodynamics were achieved with a drag coefficient of Cx=0.26.

If we move on to the specific features of the decor, then the most interesting thing here is the predatory bow of the sedan, reminiscent of a shark’s muzzle. It features a stylish radiator grille, widening downward, with a signature “diamond” scattering, front optics echoing the side edges of the false radiator with spectacular “ticks” of running lights, and an elegant bumper with neat cutouts for air intakes.


New food

The rear of the new Mercedes model sports luxurious two-section lights and an impeccably drawn bumper with organically integrated trapezoidal exhaust pipes. The car's rear lighting has an original pattern created by a combination of three-dimensional LED elements and Edgelight backlight crystals.

Equipment and security systems

The interior of the new Mercedes-Benz CLS features high-quality finishing materials, excellent ergonomics and the most advanced electronic systems. At the same time, in the architecture of the interior decoration of the sedan, obvious borrowings from others can be traced latest news Mercedes, for example, from the same and. On the front panel the main role dedicated to a tandem of two 12.3-inch screens, enclosed under a common glass cover. One of the displays is a virtual instrument cluster, the second is responsible for multimedia functions and equipment settings. The ventilation deflectors, made in the familiar format of aircraft turbines, are equipped with backlighting on the CLS, complementing the ambient contour lighting of the cabin, for which 64 shades are available.


Interior

In general, to comprehensively change the atmosphere inside the car, the optional Energizing Comfort Control system, migrated from the “Eski”, is intended. It provides six different moods, each of which has its own settings for the climate control system, fragrance, heating and ventilation of seats, heated steering wheel, lighting, and music.

The 3rd generation CLS interior is designed for four or five seats. The front seats have a pronounced sporty profile with embossed lateral support bolsters that reliably fix the rider's body. It is curious that the seats have an original design, that is, they were developed specifically for this model. This also applies to the rear sofa, which can be folded in parts (proportions 40/20/40) and thereby increase the original trunk volume of 520 liters.


Second row of seats in the new CLS

In addition to the mass of equipment responsible for comfort, the new Mercedes CLS is also equipped with a comprehensive set of security systems. This list, among other assistants, includes the Pre-Safe complex, which provides additional protection passengers. Its basic version prepares a person's hearing for the noise expected during a collision. In the extended specification (Pre-Safe Impulse Side), the system, when there is a threat of a side impact, generates an impulse that pushes riders deeper into the cabin and thereby reduces the risk of serious injury.

Technical characteristics of Mercedes CLS 2018-2019

The four-door premium sedan-coupe Mercedes is based on the MRA platform, which has a double wishbone in front and a double wishbone in the rear. multi-link suspension. For an additional fee it is proposed to install adaptive dampers(Dynamic Body Control) or pneumatic supports (Air Body Control).


Six-cylinder Mercedes CLS engine

The new CLS will initially hit the market with only three six-cylinder power units. They have the same working volume of 3.0 liters and form the following modifications:

  • CLS 350 d 4Matic – 286 hp (600 Nm), fuel consumption – 5.6-5.7 liters, acceleration to 100 km/h – 5.7 seconds.
  • CLS 400 d 4Matic – 340 hp (700 Nm), fuel consumption – 5.6-5.7 liters, acceleration to “hundreds” – 5.0 seconds.
  • CLS 450 4Matic – 367 hp (500 Nm), average gasoline consumption – 7.5 liters, acceleration 0-100 km/h – 4.8 seconds.

In all versions, the engine is paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission 9G-TRONIC, which transmits power to the system all-wheel drive 4Matic. The petrol version of the CLS 450 is interesting in that its main turbo-six is ​​complemented by an integrated EQ Boost starter-generator, which briefly increases the overall output of the power plant by 22 hp. and 250 Nm.

In the future, the Mercedes-Benz CLS engine range should be expanded to include 2.0-liter four-cylinder engines. All details about the new versions, including prices and configurations, will become known later.
