New Mercedes Benz CLS. Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class

One of the most noteworthy premieres for the auto show in Los Angeles was updated model . For several post-week days, the model received a huge number of laudatory reviews, positive comments and exclamations of admiration. On my, purely personal look, the car turned out to be very strange on external signs. The rear part of it is generally reminded of stylized virtual models from the whole familiar game GTA ... I probably need to start to get used to style and try to objectively figure out, is it really possible new model Such a strange or he still differs from its predecessor for the better.

After reading overseas comments to the Mercedes-Benz CLS update came to some conclusions, which together in one material will help us understand what has changed, and who is still better, new or sharply becoming old CLS.

How did most viewers have been impressed? Maybe everyone struck technical features Sedana coupe? Or the range of the line of the engines so expanded that everything was abuned? Not! As he said a little higher, the main features that attracted the attention of automotive fans was the design. Why? Everything is simple, he turned out to be expecting exactly how most people represented him. Sporty, to a certain extent detached from stylish strictly e-class. Moderate sports, very stylish. In general, a classic look at the theme.

Recall at least the first generation CLS. Very peculiar and extremely unusual car. It was the first four-door coupe in the world, stretching the rim, similar to the spirit of models from other automakers, like the most famous Audi A7 Sportback, BMW 6-Series Gran Coupe.

Having created a completely new niche and won the sympathy of millions, Mercedes revised the design of the next model of the second generation, who refused the smoothed lines, turning to the sharp, in some places with angular, but not less than attractive design.

The third generation re-crossed the entire previous path of development, re-returned to the origins. More smoothness on surfaces, fewer fibers distracting from the base.

Thus, it turns out that the new 2019 CLS will have to remind you of the style of the first generation CLS. Do not believe? Check!

Compare the appearance of the model C218 and C257

As you can see on comparative photos side by side, the German automaker again decided to let the elements of the structure look natural, freely put them from the edge of the headlight, right up to the back of the car. Against the background of the third generation, you can say that previous version It was overloaded with stylistic solutions.

The successor became more monolithic, which is definitely better.

In addition, in the 2019 model year, the CLS looks more similar to the present car, thanks to his pointed front edge. The air intakes stretched in horizontal, the quadrangular grille The closing radiator received a broader base, which visually underestimates the muzzle of the machine.

Narrow headlights, and moving down the edge of the hood only add sports and appearance of a true compartment of the novelty.

The new model is no longer a compactS-Class ...

Back view. Answer honestly in the comments, do you like it? I repeat once again, as for me, so you will not take a look without tears. Such a feeling that I have been working around the body, designers suddenly became very lazy to wise with back Car and they decided to make minimal changes.

As a result, it turned out that the trunk compared to the second version of though the other, but very like an element with C219, the bumper like a new one, but it is not very different from the predecessor. Nozzle on exhaust pipes, I will not argue, changed, noticeable. Lanterns too. But they are all that they spoil ...

« GTA style "is viewed in the third-generation stop signals.

Interior of two modelsCLS.

But the interior, there is no dispute, clearly became better than the early model. He received a new steering wheel and new finishes, which were not applied on a restyled model. If you like it looks like a new salon, you will definitely like the inner world of CLS.

There were special attention to the trifles here, even the illumination of the ventilation holes is present, not to mention comfort and convenience. Security technologies are also at the height, they are imperceptibly flowed with

In 2004, Mercedes-Benz introduced a new "format" car - the four-door coupe of the CLS class. In fact, this car, created on the platform ", had the body of the sedan, but with a slope and lowered roof.

Mercedes-Benz CLS-CLASS - a premium "four-door coupe" of the middle-size class (although in fact it is a sedan-fastbeck), which "combines the sportiness and elegance of the coupe with the comfort and functionality of the sedan" (but it goes beyond the framework of everyday understanding this type Body) ... His target audience - energetic and wealthy people (first of all - men) wishing to get a stylish and luxurious car with a sports character ...

Third generation Mercedes-Benz CLS guided the world debut at the end of November 2017 - on the stage of the international auto show in Los Angeles.

Compared to the predecessor, the four-door retained the recognizable proportions, but received new design, luxurious salon and modern technical "stuffing", and many decisions borrowed from models of E- and S-class.

Without exaggeration, it looks like a car stunningly, and his "breeding" is traced in every detail - it would still, because it was this three-volume first among Mercedes, which the Germans are called "sensual simplicity" and "Hot & Cool".

The front-line facade exhibits the appearance of a shrill led optics, the "family" grille with a huge "three-beam star" and a relief bumper, and its firmly shot down rear can boast graceful lamps and a "plump" bumper with two trapezoidal exhaust system pipes.

But the most of all the four-terminal fascinates in the profile - a long hood, a hatching roof, turning into a massive trunk process, expressive "bursts" on the sidewalls and large cuts of the wheeled arches.

"Third" Mercedes-Benz CLS class in its dimensions belongs to the E-segment european classification: Its length is stretched at 4988 mm, the width is laid in 1890 mm, the height does not go beyond 1404 mm.

Inside the Mercedes-Benz CLS "2019 Model Year" echoes other large models of the brand - in general, the car has beautiful, noble and soft outlines of the cabin that dilute elements in the style of High-Tech.

Before the drives of the driver are a three-spoke multi-steering wheel with a relief rim and two 12.3-inch display: the first play the role dashboard, and the second will lead information and entertainment functions. The monumental central console attracts the view to four blowing deflectors stylized under aviation turbines, a concise block climatic Installation and beautiful analog clock.

The premium status of the "four-door coupe" emphasizes impeccable ergonomics and exclusively expensive materials of the finish (high-end leather, natural wood, aluminum, etc.).

The car's salon can have a five- or a four-seater arrangement: in the first case, a comfortable sofa placed on the back row (although the average passenger will take discomfort short pillow and high outdoor tunnel), and in the second two separate chairs with a panel in the center.
The front sedaws fall into the dense arms of embossed seats with pronounced sidewalls, optimally rigid stuffing and a huge set of adjustments in various directions.

With the practicality of the four-door there is no problems - its trunk can accommodate up to 520 liters of the boot. Folding in the proportion "40:20:40" the second row of seats increases slightly cargo opportunities of the car, allowing you to transport long items.

New direction design

The "third" Mercedes CLS became a kind of pioneer, on which designers from Stuttgart tried the new concept of external design. It lies in the maximum smoothing of surfaces, giving cleanliness lines and formation of the ideal car with the point of view of aerodynamics of the car silhouette. True, I must say that as applied to the CLS, the developers moved a little a stick, as a result of which the car body turned out to be too strong and for this reason practically devoid of some catchy parts and transitions. But the aerodynamics was achieved really outstanding with the coefficient of resistance CX \u003d 0.26.

Salon CLS 3rd generation is designed for four or five seating. The front armors have a pronounced sports profile with side support robes, reliably fixing the trim case. It is curious that the seats have the original execution, that is, it was designed specifically for this model. This applies, among other things, the rear sofa is capable of folding in parts (40/20/40 proportions) and thereby increase the source volume of the trunk, which is 520 liters.

Second row of seats of new CLS
