Mercedes-Benz Mercedes CLS 2004-2010 Specifications

The 2004-2010 Mercedes CLS offers a range of engines, including the CLS 350 (3.5L V6, 272 hp), CLS 500 (5.0L V8, 306 hp), and CLS 63 AMG (6.2L V8, 507 hp). The CLS 350 provides a balance of efficiency and performance, while the CLS 500 offers enhanced power and torque. The AMG variant delivers exceptional performance with a high-revving V8 engine and sport-tuned suspension.

All models in the 2004-2010 Mercedes CLS lineup are equipped with a 7-speed automatic transmission (7G-TRONIC). This transmission offers smooth shifts, adaptive driving modes, and manual shifting capabilities for a more engaging driving experience.

The CLS comes standard with features such as ABS, ESP (Electronic Stability Program), brake assist, and multiple airbags. Optional safety features include adaptive cruise control, night vision assist, and the PRE-SAFE system, which prepares the vehicle for an impending collision.

The CLS 350 achieves an estimated 18 mpg city and 25 mpg highway, while the CLS 500 averages around 15 mpg city and 22 mpg highway. These figures are competitive with other luxury sedans of the era, such as the BMW 6 Series and Audi A7.

Mercedes-Benz recommends an oil change every 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. Additional services, such as brake fluid changes, air filter replacements, and tire rotations, should be performed at intervals specified in the owner's manual.

Standard features include leather upholstery, dual-zone climate control, and a premium audio system. Optional features include a panoramic sunroof, heated and ventilated seats, a COMAND infotainment system, and a Harman Kardon surround sound system.

The CLS offers 15.3 cubic feet of trunk space, which is slightly less than competitors like the BMW 6 Series (15.9 cu ft) but provides ample legroom and headroom for passengers. The four-door coupe design prioritizes style while maintaining practicality.

The CLS is not rated for towing. Its payload capacity varies by model but generally ranges from 850 to 950 pounds, ensuring it can comfortably accommodate passengers and luggage.
