Adrian Paton2009 Mercedes-Benz CLS Grand Edition
January 6th 2009 05:00
The Mercedes-Benz CLS-class four-door premium coupe has been a trend-setter since it was first released onto the market in 2004. Sporting the sleek lines of a coupe but with the practicality of a four-door sedan, the CLS has been a recipient of multiple design awards and has spawned a raft of imitating four-door coupes from rival manufacturers.
To keep the current generation CLS at the top of its segment before an all-new version is due in the next two years, Mercedes-Benz has released a special "Grand Edition" of the sexy coupe featuring a unique "designo magno platinum" matt paint finish which is also highly scratch- and dirt-resistant.
Other highlights of the Mercedes-Benz CLS Grand Edition include bi-xenon headlamps with dark headlamp casings, active light function and cornering light function in the fog lamps, headlamp cleaning system, and dynamic headlamp range adjustment. Also fitted are exclusive, high-sheen AMG 18-inch 5-spoke light-alloy wheels with pockets painted in titanium grey (shod with 245/40 R 18 (front) and 275/35 R 18 (rear) rubber) and a "Grand Edition" insignia on the front wings.
The interior also gets a "Grand" touch with a bespoke 'designo' interior matched to a roof lining in anthracite Alcantara, together with the standard-fit tilting/sliding glass roof, plus other special touches including designo leather upholstery in "marron" - with the option of substituting this shade for sand, black, mystic red, porcelain or chablis.
The trim elements in high-quality laurel wood can be ordered with either a matt or a high-gloss finish. The same material is used for the selector lever and the wood/leather steering wheel. Sport pedals in brushed stainless steel with rubber studs underline the sporting credentials of the CLSGrand Edition.
The extensive range of equipment includes the sophisticated COMAND APSMultimedia control and display system, comfort telephony, PARKTRONIC and "Grand Edition" velour floor mats.
Also available in a choice of metallic paint finishes - obsidian black, iridium silver, carneol red or flint grey - deliveries of the Mercedes-Benz CLS Grand Edition begins in March 2009 for the European market with Australian deliveries yet to be confirmed.
