奔驰在洛杉矶车展发布了下一代CLS，这款四门轿跑车外观更简洁，更具侵略性，采用了奔驰的“新的设计理念”。新车的“无折线”车身更流畅，更像奔驰最近发布的概念车。它采用了棱角分明前大灯以及类似GT轿车的更宽阔格栅。奔驰这次展示的是一款CLS450车型，该车搭载一台3.0升直列六缸双涡轮引擎和48伏电机系统，其中汽油引擎功率362马力，扭矩500牛米，电机功率21马力，扭矩249牛米，但奔驰并未提供整体输出功率和扭矩。在上市之初，CLS450将提供后驱和全驱版本，这两种车型将提供奔驰普遍提供的九速自动变速器。车辆内装设计取自E级轿跑车，但新车最大变化是首次提供了五座而非原来的2+2座椅布局。此外，车厢内还提供了奔驰的12.3英寸COMAND信息娱乐系统（同时还提供12.3英寸仪表群）和支持NFC功能的设备，无线充电功能和其他标配及选装件。

2019 Mercedes-Benz CLS450 Introduces Mild-Hybrid Powertrain

Mercedes-Benz has lifted the sheet off of the next-generation CLS. The original four-door coupe is leaner and meaner, and ushers in what Mercedes calls "a new design idiom" for the brand.

The CLS wears the company's new "crease-free" exterior styling, as forecast by some of its recent concepts. To keep the design crisp and edgy without them, the CLS gets angular headlights that are better proportioned than the ones on the outgoing car and a wide, GT-like grille.

Shown here in base-spec CLS 450 guise, it is powered by a 3.0L twin-turbocharged inline six supplemented by a 48-volt electrical system. The ICE produces 362 horsepower and 369lb-ft of torque. The electric assist adds 21 horsepower and a whopping 184lb-ft of torque, however the press materials from Mercedes do not provide a total system power.

At launch, the CLS 450 will be available with both rear- and all-wheel-drive. Both models will sport the company's now-ubiquitous nine-speed automatic transmission.

Inside, the CLS takes design cues from the E-Class Coupe again, but with one significant twist: The 2019 Mercedes-Benz CLS will be the first to boast seating for five rather than a 2+2 configuration.

Elsewhere, however, it's basically standard fare for a Mercedes-Benz interior. Atop the dash sits a 12.3-inch COMAND infotainment control screen (with a 12.3-inch companion cluster display also available), and elsewhere you'll find NFC-enabled device pairing, wireless charging, and numerous other standard and optional tech features.
