It and it had the appearance and the existence, respectively. Before long, however, the opposition surpassed the CLS, and we were left wishing the viciously quick "four door coupe" had the moves to stay on top of the most recent from Audi and BMW. Our wish might happen to be answered.

The most important change on the refreshed 2015 CLS Class is the launch of an all-new entry level automobile, badged CLS400 and taking the brand's new dual-turbo 3.0-liter V6 great for 329 hp and 354 lb-ft. It's going to be offered in all and both back -wheel drive and should call in at a couple thousand dollars lower in relation to the CLS550's almost $73,000 beginning cost. We presume it's going to be fit to Mercedes' upgraded seven-speed automatic transmission.

At launch, the nine-speed will be accessible just on back- CLS550s drive. We anticipate the 4.7-liter twin-turbo V8 and its 402 hp and 443 lb-feet to carry over.

Air suspension with adjustable damping is likewise regular damping tuned for relaxation and while CLS400 versions may have steel springs. CLS550s additionally get a harman/kardon audio system and regular satellite radio.

Externally, the 2015 CLS Class gets LED headlights and the new corporate grille trimming. Dark taillights and wheels that are new dress up the exterior's rest. Interior, is a new, bigger, 8-inch infotainment display showing the latest amusement and navigation software of the brand.

The CLS Class also picks up the most recent version of Mercedes' Crash Prevention Assistance Plus system, that may now brake to help prevent the complete package and a crash from the most recent Eclass.

On the AMG front, Mercedes Benz will verify just that the CLS63 AMG will continue to exist. We anticipate it is going to keep its dual-turbo 5.5-liter V8, but just in 577 hp and 590 lb-foot trimming. We have seen an early design mockup and we are able to let you know to anticipate exceptionally broad fenders and a grille that was highly competitive, reminiscent of a DTM race car.
