The new engine is fitted with an AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9G transmission that offers quick shift time, double-declutching capability, fast-responding paddle shifters and multiple driving modes, offering the driver greater control and increased safety for all driving conditions.

The exclusive Edition 1 of the Mercedes-AMG CLS 4MATIC+ is fitted with COPPERT ART interior design, which features black nappa leather with copper-colored topstitching, carbon fiber trim elements, Performance steering wheel, exclusive badges and more.

“With the new 53-series models we are extending our portfolio in a first step towards a hybridised future with a leading-edge combination of sporty design, performance and efficiency. The basis for this is a contemporary drive configuration in the form of a six-cylinder in-line engine with electric auxiliary compressor, EQ Boost starter-alternator and 48 V on-board electrical system. The very spontaneous response to accelerator pedal input, the precision and the design focusing on driving dynamics are hallmark features of AMG As such we are providing an additional lifestyle-oriented customer group with a further attractive offering from Affalterbach.”
