Mercedes-Benz India just launched the CLS four-door coupe in India at price of Rs 84.70 lakh (ex-showroom). The third generation CLS will only be available in a single variant, 300d. It shares its 2.0-litre diesel motor with the top-spec C 300d sedan launched in the country a few months ago. The new CLS is an aero-efficient design which does not require aero bits, saving the weight and additional cost, apart from lending it a clean look. The 2019 Mercedes-Benz CLS features the MBUX infotainment system as well.
Here's a closer look at the new CLS:

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz CLS features an aero-efficient design that allows the car to enjoy almost no lift at speed, which means some features like the Audi A7's active spoiler, are not required, giving the CLS a slightly cleaner set of lines

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz CLS sits between the E-Class and S-Class in the company's lineup, and was first introduced in 2004

Many outer panels, including the bonnet, wheel arches and the boot lid are now aluminium. The 2019 Mercedes-Benz CLS still uses steel for its frameless doors though

The 2.0-litre diesel engine on the CLS outputs 245PS and 500Nm. The motor comes mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission. 0 to 100kmph in 6.5s, 250 kmph top speed.

The CLS is, as usual, a sleek four-door coupe with sharp styling and details. it is based on the Mercedes and that's where most of the underpinnings and interior design influences and equipment comes from

The New CLS gets an interior influenced by both the S-Class and E-Class. Most notable is the seamless MBUX infotainment, the turbine style vents and the steering wheel encased in Nappa leather

The MBUX AI-enabled infotainment system is displayed on the twin 12.3 cm instrument cluster and infotainment screens

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz CLS has a bigger cabin than before and the rear seats have two plush looking seats as well as a centre seat for a third passenger if needed
