Outside: Front and distinctive classic style coupe.

The four-door coupé from Mercedes-Benz in 2003 soon sign a new style icon. Although the proportions are the same, the second generation of this model is a trendsetter in a completely new look.
What immediately strikes the eye is an innovative front, reminiscent of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG. Visually, the radiator grille is integrated into the hood, but accounted for separately. This further highlights the long hood sport. The grid is dominated by large central star, which is combined with another vehicle, Mercedes-Benz coupe, and also to improve the brand identity. The large, elongated vents with dark black grilles add a sporty vehicle.
The design is a high-tech life.
Another distinguishing feature is in the form of LED headlamps, the world's first to offer all the functions of dynamic light using LED technology. This innovation has an impressive design - inside they are divided into three arrow-shaped layers from top to bottom: the upper layer contains an LED indicator, below which is a striking LED side light offers functions LED headlights. The side light can also be seen when the beam is activated, creating a unique night design. The lowest level of the beam and the characteristics of housing headlights for night. A total of 71 LEDs provide an unmistakable appearance and outlook significantly improved compared to earlier systems.
The typical CLS outline, with its elegant proportions long, is the dominant feature of this new model. The effect of the dynamic, athletic form has been enhanced with new interaction between lines and surfaces. A "line drop" single, which begins above the front wheel wells and the downward slope behind, represents a new interpretation of a distinctive design famous historic Mercedes sports cars.
A distinctive and muscular sports car type waistline over the rear axle to emphasize the sporty nature of the 2012 CLS-Class. Flared wheel arches reminiscent of the strong thighs swoop feline predator waiting.
Side profile is rounded to a large wraparound taillights with LED technology - combined with the rear element of the vehicle. Emphasize the shape of a broad shoulder line, which is clearly visible from the rear, and supports the roof. Large metal insert adds a further point of view of the back.
The interior: design brings quality of life.
2012 CLS-Class interior is also distinguished by a timeless design, which combines understated elegance with innovative details and handcrafted to perfection. Eye-catching features wraparound cockpit instrument panel sweeping away the driver's door on the dash support and cross-front passenger door. A big screen is integrated perfectly into the top of the dashboard.
CLS also lives up to its role in the design icon, the innovative nature of the materials used, such as a mixture of satin and gloss finishes used on metal surfaces. Highlight without vents galvanized perfect complement to any shiny-trimmed analog clock.
The craft perfection is reflected in details such as seat covers and stitched instrument panel. The different parts of the dashboard leather are sewn by hand in a process that takes several hours, after which they are fitted and upholstered with high quality coating. Before this process, the leather is also heated preshrink so it retains its shape even after extreme exposure to direct sunlight.
About four skins of animals for each of the CLS. Particularly exclusive 1.6 mm thick semi-aniline leather meets the highest awards, both in look and feel. The porous structure is provided with natural light pigmentation, and skin is very soft and warm feel to it. Premium leather requires a very precise manual selection process, and consequently a large amount of raw leather.
The refined interior of the CLS is also reflected in the generous use of high-quality finishing elements, located on the instrument panel center console and door trim. Customers can choose between high-gloss Burl Walnut high ash brown or glossy black. The tree has been properly fitted around the edges difficult to finish a master hand, and woodwork were matched for grain as part of a sophisticated screening process to create a coherent overall impression.
To see even more progressive, black piano lacquer or carbon fiber elements pads are also available. Handmade and up to seven layers are applied and polished for cutting piano lacquer until the high-gloss finish is achieved.
