2006 Mercedes-Benz Cls in Schaumburg, IL - $16,977

Mercedes-Benz has extensively revised the four-door CLS Coupe for the 2015 model year. This design icon now features a honed front section and a further upgraded interior that boasts lots of new, perfectly handcrafted details, combining contemporary luxury with passionate sportiness. In addition, it also brings ground-breaking technical innovations to the road. The futuristic MULTIBEAM LED headlamps open up new dimensions in lighting systems. High-performance, precision LED modules automatically provide the best possible illumination, whatever the road and traffic conditions.

Mercedes-Benz founded the four-door coupe segment ten years ago with the CLS, thus underlining its leading role in automotive design. The CLS combined for the first time the elegance of a coupe with the comfort and functionality of a sedan. The CLS Coupe has long since established itself as a style icon with particular charisma, and will also continue to be unique in its segment.

The scintillating design of the CLS-Class with its exciting proportions has been subtly adapted to high-tech aspirations. It steadfastly remains a compelling proposition with its long hood, narrow window line with frameless side windows and dynamically downwards sloping roof. Overall the design of the latest generation of the CLS Coupe comes across even more dynamic. This is thanks to a new, expressive chrome diamond radiator grille, a striking front bumper with large air intakes and slightly darkened tail lights.

Available in CLS400, CLS400 4MATIC, CLS550 and CLS550 4MATIC models, base power for the Mercedes-Benz coupe is generated by a new 3.0L V6 turbocharged prime mover and joined to a seven-speed automatic transmission. The CLS550 is powered by a 4.6L V8 turbocharged engine that is bolted to a new nine-speed automatic transmission. The CLS550 4MATIC is connected to a seven-speed automatic transmission.

Cutting-edge technology also applies to the world's first nine-speed automatic transmission with hydrodynamic torque converter in the premium segment. This innovation builds on the strengths of the previous seven-speed automatic transmission which set the benchmark in terms of efficiency, comfort and dynamism. With nine forward gears this new transmission reduces fuel consumption while further enhancing shift comfort and agility.

Inside the passenger cabin, the CLS boasts a sporty interior with contemporary luxury. Ample space, unadorned, sporty elegance, perfect craftsmanship and high quality materials exert the stylistic influence on the interior. The new generation reinforces this impression by emphasizing sportiness, exclusivity and functionality even more. The new color display in the head unit with its eight inch screen adds to the state-of-the-art feel and will help define the dashboard's contemporary looks. Other new features include a redesigned three-spoke sports steering wheel and a host of exquisite details which underscore the interior's high quality both in visual and tactile terms. The central control panel in the center console has four instead of the previous two buttons, thus requiring fewer operating steps in many cases. Five attractive interior colors and six trim finishes will be available and offer a host of potential individualization options.

New standard MULTIBEAM LED headlamps provide exceptionally fast and precise, antidazzle continuous main beam and light up the road surface and its edges much more brightly in many situations. As well as the high-performance, precision LED module, each MULTIBEAM LED headlamp also features a module for the low-beam headlamp, which can be swiveled outwards by up to twelve degrees. This provides an active light function, which is also camera-controlled, with unprecedented characteristics. For instance, it offers a preview function which already swivels the active light function when the driver has yet not turned the wheels. Thus it provides optimum illumination of the bend early on. The active light function already swivels back to the straight-ahead position before the end of the bend according to the particular situation.

Since the MULTIBEAM LED technology combines the very best of today's lighting technologies and can optimally adjust the light distribution instantly and automatically to virtually any traffic situation, it always ensures thus far unrivalled broad and bright illumination of the road surface and edge of the roadway for high performance and precision without dazzling other car drivers.
