2019 Mercedes CLS-Class Controversy: What's New and Changes!
- 6 years ago
2019 CLS-Class is completely redesigned, and it enters it's 3rd generation. This model has totally different front, different headlights, different bumper and different everything.
You can see the visual difference between 2019 and 2018 CLS models. From the front, from the side and from the rear. You can also see the difference side by side, including morphing from 2018 to 2019.
If I had to describe the 2019 CLS-Class model in 3 words,it looks simpler, more angular and has an aggressive stance. If I described the 2018 CLS model, it's a lot more curvy, aerodynamic and more elegant. The rear of 2019 CLS450 is a lot smaller and looks very similar to the new E-Class coupe.
Let me give you a little bit of history. First 2006 CLS500 came out in January of 2005 and immediately stirred a lot of controversy. How can a coupe have 4 doors? Because coupe only suppose to have 2 doors.
Bigger problem was the efficiency of that car. It came out with huge 5.0 liter V8 engine, but the power was just 302 HP. It was addressed by MB dealers, and Mercedes-Benz contacted their high performance arm -AMG to supercharge it.
February of 2005, the new model came out CLS55 AMG. This model was a real thing! AMG 5.5 liter inter-cooled supercharged V8, 469 horsepower, 516 lb per ft of torque, 4.5 sec from 0 to 60 mph! At that time a lot of magazines named CLS 55 AMG - 2006 Car of the Year! Zero to 60 miles per hour time of 4.5 seconds made CLS55 quicker than the Aston Martin Vanquish, Dodge Viper or any modified Audis, Jaguars or BMWs.
July 2006 - there was more of the horsepower pile-up! CLS550 replaced CLS500 and added 80 more horsepower bringing to the total of 382 HP. Also CLS63 replaced CLS55 added 38 more horsepower. Newer 6.3 Liter V8 produced 507 HP now. This model was so successful, for the next 5 years it ran without any major changes.
Finally in 2011, the 2nd generation of CLS came out and it was 2012 model year. This car was equipped with the smaller ....
