The sedan complex is deeply embedded in the genes of domestic consumer groups, and those classics that were once given by sedan models are given. Therefore, when people screen in the car, they will always unconsciously focus on the sedan model. Because of this, German luxury brands will start from the demand points of domestic consumer groups, lengthen imported models, and then extend the sedan version.
However, not all the sedan models under the German luxury brand have changed in China, and some imported models themselves belong to the three-phase structure, such as the Mercedes-Benz CLS class. The Model Version of the Mercedes-Benz CLS Class has a separate code name, and the independent code name between versions corresponds to the power that is different, while the model version with the 350 code number is the top of the CLS, and it also has the highest power.
The clS 350 has a displacement of 2.0T, which is the same as the displacement of other versions, but the power varies. The CLS 350 has 299 hp and 400 Nm of torque, and the official 100 km/h acceleration time of 6.2 seconds is enough to prove how deep the model's power reserve is. If it is in sport mode, the power of the model will be more aggressive, and its power response and push back feeling have enough strength.
Mercedes-Benz CLS explained what is the peak of the road, because at that time, after the launch of this model, it was crowned the title of "the most beautiful Mercedes-Benz" by the majority of fans, and under this aura, the model in the subsequent iteration of the update, constantly deduced the "beauty" as the core of the stage design results.
This model changed mercedes-Benz's caution at the design level, the first generation of models surprised the aesthetics of the time, and the hunting version of the second generation model also had countless fans. In the third generation, the model abandons the elegance of the past and adds more sportiness. The dot-matrix grille is like a star glow, adding agility to fashion and highlighting youthful vitality.
The light group lines on both sides are sharper and sharper, and the design concept of this model's light group is derived from the sports car, with a hint of fierceness in the extreme speed. In order to correspond to the headlight shape of the front face, the independent layout of the tail lamp also has a sharp corner of the eye, and the front and rear light groups also form a symmetrical echo invisibly.
The smooth lines enhance the quality of the whole car, but the most able to increase the sophistication of the model is undoubtedly its frameless car out. After entering the car, you will find that the interior layout of this model is very similar to the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, because the GLS and E-Class are products of the same platform. In addition to a large number of soft bags, there is also a layout of wood-grain panels, which can be seen on the center console and doors.
The circular air conditioner air outlet also has an atmosphere light strip in the middle, which can be lit with the atmosphere light. The display and the instrument are connected together to form a dual screen layout style, the full LCD instrument and the color screen are 12.3 inches, and the 350 version is also equipped with a HUD head-up display as standard, which increases the ease of handling when driving.
The first two generations of Mercedes-Benz CLS adopted a 4-seat layout, but the new generation of models relaunched the traditional five-seat layout, increasing the practicality and home attributes of the model. The model itself belongs to the medium and large positioning, but this does not mean that its rear seating space is generous, the sneaky roof compresses the head space, and the legroom is only enough. In terms of storage space, it can also meet the daily travel storage needs of users.
summary:
The new generation of Mercedes-Benz CLS will be more aggressive in terms of visual effects, but this does not affect the smoothness of the curve of the model itself, so the sports atmosphere can be felt on this model, and the luxury in the car is also fully expressed. The scope of application of this model is more limited, and it is more suitable to drive on paved roads, because it has no air suspension, so it will still affect the chassis on potholed roads. However, the model can be used as a street car or for commuting, and its power reserve is deep, which can bring the corresponding handling texture according to different driving modes. Especially in comfort mode, it has a linear enough power output, and in sport mode, it can also bring the driving pleasure that users want.
