Specifications

Despite its timeless style, Mercedes revamped the CLS for 2012, with changes to both the exterior lines and cabin. The end result is a few added millimetres, a new grille and a redesigned dashboard. What’s more, the CLS adds two new turbocharged V8s to its offering. The 63 AMG gets a 518-hp 5.5L V8 while the 550 base version comes with a 4.6L V8.
