Mercedes-Benz launches a new season for the iconic CLS

Mercedes-Benz has launched a new season for its iconic CLS, the four door coupé that made fashionable jaws drop when it first debuted in 2003, and quickly established itself as the ultimate must-have style statement for chic drivers across the Middle East.

The charismatic CLS will be easily recognised when it hits roads across the region this month. With distinctive design elements inspired by the breakthrough SLS AMG super sports car, the CLS sports a new scowl courtesy of LED High Performance headlamps, and will be available to the image elite as a V6 CLS 350, a V8 CLS 500, or a supercharged bi-turbo V8 CLS 63.

Mercedes-Benz creation in 2003 of a new category that combined the elegance and dynamism of a coupé with the comfort and functionality of a saloon, delighted customers and stunned the German automotive manufacturer’s competition. For many years since October 2004, the CLS endured as the only four-door coupé in its class, and has been the chariot of choice for 170,000 al la mode owners worldwide.

"Customers across the Middle East and the globe have rewarded us for our courage in launching a completely new vehicle concept onto the market," explains a delighted Frank Bernthaler, Director, Sales and Marketing, Mercedes-Benz Cars, Middle East & Levant. "And with its exciting design and refined sportiness, the new edition of the CLS also benefits from the fact that we are a whole generation ahead of the competition with our four-door Coupé."
