The Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class is a range of luxury luxury models that incorporate the very best Bavarian engineering developments over the past few years. The CLS range is very diverse: here you can choose the type of body (sedan, station wagon or coupe) and the type of engine. The 2015 CLS lineup has received a slightly updated look plus improved transmission, engines and many new options.

Interior and exterior of Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class 2015

Small changes in the exterior design were made to the models with station wagon and coupe bodies. Their bumpers and radiator grilles have become slightly different. The headlights are now fully LED. The body lines of the 4-Door Coupé further emphasize its Mercedes-Benz sporting performance. The 2015 CLS Shooting Brake station wagon is no less attractive.

Otherwise, the 2015 CLS is the same sedan that Mercedes-Benz fans are familiar with. The theme of interior decoration of any of the models (except AMG) is a combination of classic style and hi tech.

The AMG models, "sharpened" for a sports car, have a more aggressive appearance due to the increase in the size of the air intakes, the installation of other rims and tires. The interior of these models has AMG-specific features that also emphasize the sportier character of the car.

The 2015 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class driver's cabin looks even better and more spacious, but the rear seats are still cramped. The wheelbase has not changed, its length is 2874 mm.


The front seats of the driver and passenger are spacious and comfortable, they have an electronic adjustment system with 14 positions. This is enough for people of any body size to be accommodated with the greatest comfort. The seats have active lateral support and are also available with seat ventilation.

The interior of the new Mercedes-Benz 2015 CLS-Class looks even better due to the use of expensive materials in its decoration - natural wood, metal and high-quality plastics. The leather upholstery of the seats is quite standard, only in AMG models the more expensive Nappa leather is used, which is distinguished by a rich variety of textures.
