Just as the folks at Mercedes-Benz were rehearsing the official presentation of their next-gen 4-door CLS coupe at the LA Car Show starting on November 29, anonymous photographers once again crashed the party by posting secretly-made photos of the car on the Internet. The leak was instantly made into a sensation by mass media – so much for the mystery, CLS.
Judging from the new photos, the vehicle gets new LED optics, a media center with a large touchscreen, exclusive 18-inch wheels, a digital dashboard and a number of other features. It goes without saying that Mercedes-Benz made a serious effort to equip their latest car with multiple systems for steering control and safety.
The basic edition of the 4-door Mercedes-Benz CLS comes with a 2.9-liter engine capable of 286 horsepower. A “boosted” version of the car with a 340 hp engine is also available. Finally, the hi-end model gets a hybrid engine rated at 503 hp.
