The Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class (W218) is a stylish and sophisticated four-door coupe that was produced from 2010 to 2018. It marked the second generation of the CLS model line and was based on the W212 E-Class platform, sharing many components and powertrains. The CLS-Class was renowned for its sleek, coupe-like design with a low roofline and frameless doors, blending luxury and sportiness. Its interior was equally impressive, offering high-quality materials, advanced technology, and ample comfort. The W218 came in various trim levels, ranging from the base model to the high-performance AMG variants. Powertrain options included a wide range of gasoline and diesel engines, coupled with manual or automatic transmissions, allowing for a diverse spectrum of performance and fuel efficiency.

The W218 CLS-Class was a technological tour de force, featuring numerous advanced features. Its standard equipment included the COMAND infotainment system with a 7-inch display (later upgraded to 8 inches), navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, and a premium sound system. Higher trim levels offered additional features such as a heads-up display, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, and a panoramic sunroof. The CLS-Class also introduced active safety features like DISTRONIC PLUS, which employed radar and camera systems to maintain a safe distance from other vehicles, and PRE-SAFE, which prepared the car for an impending crash. The combination of striking aesthetics, luxurious appointments, cutting-edge technology, and powerful engines made the W218 CLS-Class a compelling choice for discerning drivers seeking a blend of elegance and performance.
