A newly developed operating concept, which was already in the S-Class has proved its worth, perfected the interaction between driver and car. Its main advantage is the quick access to frequently used functions such as car radio, DVD player, and car phone or navigation system.

These systems can be, depending on the habit by switch on the center console, by pressing a key on the multifunction steering wheel or using the COMAND controller on the centre console control. This central element is the large, pivoting COMAND colour display next to the combined-coupled instrument and allows entry into clear main and sub-menus for the various functions.

The standard automatic climate with four independently adjustable temperature zones is also in the new operating concept. Driver and front passenger can temperature, air distribution and other settings either by COMAND controller and menu control, or by means of a switch beneath the air vents. The COMAND system allows further individual climate settings such as air distribution and adjustment of foot room temperature.

The newly developed integral seats in the Mercedes CL-Class provide high individual seating comfort. "Integral" means that all components of the belt system in the seat directly; so the seats are important components of the occupant protection system. Even in the standard equipment can be longitudinal adjustment, height-and cushion tilt, seat height, head restraint and seat cushion depth of the front seats adjust electrically.

For even more individual comfort, at the request of comfort seats with active ventilation (standard in the CL 600), and once again improved multi-contour seats with nine air cushions and multi-contour seats with massage function (standard in the CL 600) for selection. Driver and front passenger seat with multi-contour function with the label "Healthy Action back".

Serially come in the new Mercedes coupe also unique technology innovations are used. At the forefront is the suspension system Active Body Control (ABC), which in its latest version optimum driving dynamics and simultaneously reached an equally significant increase comfort. Based on sensor signals and using special hydraulic cylinders at the axles compensated ABC the usual rolling and Nick movements of the body at the start, turning or braking almost complete. This happens within fractions of seconds, so that the damping quickly builds each situation. From 60 km / h, ABC lowers the body continuously by up to ten millimeters, the air resistance and reducing the driving stability again.

Equally unique is the Intelligent Light System, driving in the dark even safer. It belongs together with bi-xenon headlamps standard on the new Mercedes CL-Class and provides five different lighting functions, which vary according to road and weather situation on the new road lighting illuminates the left lane edge brighter and more widely than the previous passing beam. At highway lighting, which automatically from 90 km / h is active, creating a uniform, far-reaching light cone, the roadway on its entire width said.

The multi-award-winning, preventive protection system complements Mercedes CL-Class first by the newly developed PRE-SAFE ® brake. She works with the brake PLUS (BAS PLUS), the motorist in front of a looming crash visual and acoustic warning and automatically calculates the necessary brake to avoid the crash. This is support of braking force when stepping onto brake pedal immediately available. If the motorists, however, not to the BAS PLUS warnings, the PRE-SAFE ® brake for acute accident risk of an automatic braking before and delayed the Mercedes CL-Class with about 40 percent of the maximum braking performance.

The autonomous part of the driver will brake a further tangible signal to act. It actuates then immediately the brakes, the maximum braking force is available and the accident neither can - depending on the driving situation - often at the last moment nor prevented. Is it not possible to be reduced by the PRE-SAFE ® brake the impact severity and injury from the car occupants. Like the brake PLUS uses the new PRE-SAFE ® brake-art radar technology to the situation in front of the car to collect and a threat of injury to recognize. Behind the front bumper cladding Mercedes CL-Class are two radar sensors with a range of 30 meters. The extra long-distance radar in the radiator mask reaches 150 meters. BAS PLUS and PRE-SAFE ® brake Mercedes-Benz offers upon request in connection with the spacing rule – cruise-controls DISTRONIC PLUS.

On the basis of radar technology works include the newly developed park management (optional): The sensors detect when passing the length of a parking space and show the cockpit display whether the space for parking permits.

With the currently most powerful Mercedes engines is the new luxury coupe on road and highway all challenges. The eight-cylinder CL 500 provides 285 kW / 388 hp and 2800/min unfolds from a maximum torque of 530 Newton metres. This surpasses the newly developed engine the previous V8 engine in the performance by 26 and torque by 15 percent. Equipped with four-valve technology, variably adjustable-shifting camshafts, two-stage soaking up module and-tumble flaps in the inlet channels, the new V8 is one of the most modern and most powerful engines of its displacement class. For the acceleration from zero to 100 km / h CL 500 requires only 5.4 seconds (predecessor: 6.3 seconds).

The maximum torque is improved to deliver even 30 to 830 Newton metres, starting at 1900/min available and 3500/min to remain constant. In just 4.6 seconds accelerates, the new CL 600 (predecessor: 4.8 seconds) from the state to 100 km / h.
