The latest up-styled version of the Mercedes-Benz CLS has arrived in Ireland, writes Trish Whelan.
Refashioned and now with an even sharper, more elongated, and aerodynamic appearance, exterior changes include a new radiator grille, new air intakes and bumpers, silver-chrome exterior trim elements, new twin and multi-spoke light alloys, and the choice of an additional metallic paint colour.
Inside, cabin upgrades include two new walnut and wood trim finishes, additional leather seat coverings and colour combinations, and a redesigned multifunctional leather steering wheel.
Two petrol and three diesels are offered. Petrols are 450 4Matic and a high performance Mercedes-AMG 53 4Matic+ version with fast-shifting 9G transmission.
Diesels are a 220d, 300d and 400d 4Matic versions. A mild hybrid is included in the mix.
All versions are equipped with the brand’s MBUX infotainment system with artificial intelligence and predictive functions, together with an extensive range of occupant safety and driver assistance packages.
In Ireland, focus will fall on the 220d AMG design line priced from €83,090.
