The new Mercedes-Benz CLS will make its world premiere at next month’s Paris Motor Show. Mercedes-Benz in 2003, created a new vehicle category with the CLS as it made its mark as a new style icon, which for the first time combined the elegance and dynamism of a coupé with the comfort and functionality of a saloon.
The very latest model will be among the stars that Mercedes-Benz will parade as the auto show opens in Paris, according to a recent communiqué by Mr. Mirko Plath, Managing Director, Weststar Associates Limited, the company that markets all Mercedes Benz brand in Nigeria.
The new Mercedes-Benz CLS in his words, builds on the pioneering role of its predecessor yet, is an entirely new edition as it points the way forward for the future perceptible design idiom of Mercedes-Benz, while at the same time, takes its inspiration from the great tradition of stylish and refined sportiness which has always been a feature of all Mercedes-Benz coupés.
He further disclosed that the exterior components remain as spectacular as ever, adding that though the proportions now are the same, everything is different. “The second generation of this design trendsetter has adopted a completely new look. What immediately strikes the eye is the innovative front design, which is reminiscent of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG. Visually, the radiator grille is not integrated into the bonnet but is formed separately. This highlights the long, sporty bonnet even further. The grille is dominated by the large central star, which underlines the car’s relationship to the other coupés of the brand and also enhances brand identity. The large, elongated dark air inlets with black grilles also add to the beauty of the vehicleâ€.
