Vehicle concept

In January 2011, the CLS-Class of model series 219
will be superseded by the newly developed coupe of
model series 218.
With the new CLS-Class, the customer will obtain a
co

upe which sets the standard in terms of its new

design, reliability, comfort, efficiency and safety.

Dimensional concept

The dimensional concept of the new CLS-Class is
derived from that of the predecessor model series 219
and is characterized by more space in the interior and
a restyled body.

The vehicle length has increased by 30 mm. This
allowed

With the new CLS-Class, Mercedes-Benz is underlining
its aspiration to lead the market in th
4-door coupes, particularly in the areas of design,
active and passive safety

Further details on the electrical systems of model
series 218 (e.g. function descriptions and the loca­tions of electrical components) are available in the

Environmental compatibility

Crucial factors in environmental compatibility are not
only fuel economy and emissions while driving, but
also the environmental burden and consumption of
resources from manufacture through vehicle use to
recycling and disposal.

The new CLS-Coupe sedan is thus certified on the

BlueEFFICIENCY measures

1Weight reduction

Due to the lightweight construction concept

uring a combination of high-strength and ultra

feat
high-strength materials in the bodyshell and due to
lightweight construction measures implemented on
the engine hood, doors and wheels, it was possible
to significantly reduce the weight of the vehicle.

2 Fuel pump

Regulation of the fuel pump significantly reduces its
consumption of electrical power. Th
requirements of the fuel pump depend on the
amount of fuel currently required.

3Rear axle

The extended rear axle ratio lowers the engine
speed and th

us fuel consumption.

The underfloor is equipped with a continuous

gine compartment and main floor panel as well
as an aerodynamically designed spare wheel well in
order to reduce aerodynamic drag.

5 Outside mirror housing

The new freestanding outside mirrors have been
optimized aerodynamically.

7 Radiator shutters

The flow of cooling air through the cooling module and
eng

ine compartment can be regulated by opening the

radiator shutters.
Closing the radiator shutters at low outside tempera­tures prevents the engine compartment from cooling
dow

n. This means that more heat output is available
for the passenger compartment. In addition, the
reduced volume of cooling air reduces the aerody­namic drag of the vehicle.

8 ECO start/stop function

With the ECO start/stop function, the engine can be
shut off when
on vehicle and driver-related conditions in order to
reduce the fuel consumption in the driving cycle.

9 Energy management

When the battery charge level is sufficiently high,
al

ternator operation is scaled back to supply the base
load requirements of the vehicle. The vehicle is then
only supplied with power by the alternator, the battery
is charged by occasional "coupling" of the alternator in
deceleration mode.

10 Engine optimizations

The engines used combine high power with low fuel
consumption. On
OM 651, this is achieved through dual-stage turbo­charging.

The new gasoline engines M 276, M 278 and
M 157 AMG make use of downsizing, modularization
and technological dev

Summary

When combined, all of these measures result in signif­icantly lower fuel consumption.

In its second generation, the new CLS-Class once
again embodies the unique four-door coupe
concept of Mercedes-Benz.

The front is characterized by the distinctive coupe
grille. The two slats of the grille, combined with the
large, centrally positioned Mercedes star, indicate
that this vehicle belongs to th
family of coupes.
