2019 Mercedes-Benz CLS 450 4Matic

GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this Mercedes Benz CLS450 for your consideration. This Benz comes with a clean carfax and has always been well taken care of. This vehicle has only ever been serviced at the dealer and comes with a Mercedes Benz dent and wheel protection. The wheels have been powered coated black to make a clean look with the silver paint job. Please call or email us today for more information.

The refiring of its new 3.0-liter inline-six, which goes virtually unnoticed in stop-start operation, is likely the Mercedes-Benz CLS450's most endearing quality. Yet the seamlessness of this most casual of operations is but a prelude to the engine's full performance. It is a sweetheart of a thing: part fluid, intuitive response; part effortless motivator of steel and aluminum. Some cars have reactors under their hoods. Some simply have engines. This one has a just-right selection of bits that move in facile unity to get you where you want to go. We're not idle flatterers of every new engine, but this one—this return to six in a row for Mercedes—is something genuinely special.
The electrified mill delivers follow-your-foot response from just off idle to deep into its midrange. The torque mesa rises at an early 1600 rpm and doesn't descend until 4000. But even at its 6250-rpm redline, the new powerplant sings the creamy harmonies of inline-six balance. Peaking at 362 horsepower, it's not a power monger—those who need more can opt for the 429-hp AMG CLS53—but coupled to its nine-speed automatic transmission and 4MATIC all-wheel drive, the six provides sufficient gas-electric shove to allow the CLS450 to reach 60 mph in 4.7 seconds and bust through the quarter-mile in 13.2 seconds at 107 mph. That's 0.3 and 0.4 second quicker, respectively, than the 2018 E400 4MATIC coupe we recently tested, which was fitted with Benz's 329-hp twin-turbo 3.0-liter V-6.
The CLS, you'll likely remember, is the originator of the four-door-coupe movement and is intended to be a more chic version—but not a more aggro one—of the bread-and-butter E-class sedan on which it is based. Yet ever since the first-gen CLS appeared in the U.S., in 2005, the fashion-for-function trade-off it demands has never been an easy one. This time, on its third go-round, the CLS450 shares its 115.7-inch wheelbase—up 2.5 inches from the 2018 model's—with the E-class sedan. And like always, its abridged roofline sacrifices front and rear headroom and rear legroom. Long-torsoed six-foot staffers struggled with outward visibility from the driver's seat while five-foot-sixers rubbed thinning hair on the rear headliner. However, three seatbelts now come standard across the back of this CLS, a first for the four-door coupe.
