The 2022 Mercedes-Benz CLS is both strikingly beautiful and remarkably comfortable on the inside. It’s tech-savvy in all the right places, and also one of the safest cars on the road today. But where it truly shines, like all Mercedes do, is in its performance. The 2022 CLS features an innovative hybrid drivetrain to electrify and modernize an otherwise powerful turbo inline-six engine. This not only improves torque, but also emissions and efficiency, as well.
All told, the 2022 CLS provides a wonderful 362 horsepower from its inline-six, while integrating a 48V starter-generator. Though it only adds an extra 21 horsepower, what it does do is allow for a fuel-free coasting experience and a lessening of emissions than would normally be required on a traditional setup.
The 2022 CLS 450 4MATIC also provides torque to all the right places, making great use of a silky-smooth advanced nine-speed 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission. Not only is more adaptable than traditional transmissions, but it’s also more dynamic. So dynamic, in fact, that Mercedes named an entire customizable driving mode after it: DYNAMIC SELECT mode.
