Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class 2010 Bahrain Prices & Specs

The CLS, first launched in 2006, combines the elegance of a coupé with the practicality of a saloon. Facelifted for 2008, Mercedes-Benz marketing folks like to incorrectly call it a coupe. Anyway, the CLS is a very expensive alternative to the car on which it is based, namely the E-Class. The CLS comes with an extensive list of standard features, including a 7-speed automatic transmission, ABS with stability program, CD radio with telephone keypad and 8 loudspeakers, cruise control with variable speed limiter, infrared remote control and visual locking-verification signal, speed-sensitive power steering, automatic climate control and two-stage front airbags and side bags, plus window bags. The new entry for 2008 is the CLS 280 with the 3.0-litre V6. Other models include an upgraded 3.5-litre CLS 350, the 5.5-litre CLS 500 and the 6.2-litre CLS 63 AMG, the latter two being new in 2007. Options include bi-xenon headlamps with Active Light System and cornering light function, COMAND control and display system for radio and navigation, Distronic proximity control, upholstery options, headlamp cleaning system, keyless start, parking sensors, semi-active air suspension, four-zone automatic climate control and a tyre pressure warning system.
