BENEFIT on a large scale It controls the shining appearance on the boulevard just like relaxed travel in the express speed - new Mercedes CL is an almost perfect Gran Turismo The largest Mercedes Coupé pure formality is soberly regarded. The technology originates from the axle supension up to the drive from the S-class, but the CL affords the luxury to omit two doors - which benefits not least a style-safe appearance. Like a Bodybuilder in the black tailored suit over five meters for a long time and the Coupé broad draws 1.87 meters views of itself. The voluminöse four seater gives itself nevertheless as Gentleman and lays on in its covered clothes - not less as three black and four grey tones than external color to the choice - never thickly. Elegantly dressed also the interior presents itself, whereby the instrument board adheres strictly to the defaults of the S-class. Under the large Coupés there is hardly one, which shows so much heart for its rear passengers. Two in a body-contoured fashion formed out and generously dimensioned club armchair together with acceptable leg and head liberty expect the Mitreisenden in the rear. The way there is however somewhat cumbersome and time-consuming. Until the front seats electrically forward drove and back-slid by pedantic grasp attitude again into their Ausgangspostion, one while passes. But a CL is now times no S-class, but rather a driver car. A little cannot harm S-class-training, because in its operability the CL follows the large luxury sedan hair-exactly. To one understood the peculiarities of the Comand system (operation of audio, navigation system, on board computer as well as various vehicle attitudes such as light and alarm installation), requires it a certain acclimatizing and every now and then the study of the 520 sides strong operating instructions. Some options are beyond that selectable over separately callable menus in the Tachodisplay - complicates completely beautifully. Assistenz instead of incapacitating partially against surcharge offers the CL an Hightech arsenal of first quality. That is enough the Distronic plus (holds automatically the distance to the preceding endorser, brakes automatically even up to the stop off and warns optically as acoustic with collision danger), radar-supported by the infrared night vision assistant (shows in the dark things in the cockpit display on, which one cannot actually at all see) over, up to the a park assistance, when desired also with back driving camera. A high-prepared CL does not incapacitate its driver nevertheless. In practice the Assistenzsysteme is just as reliable as meaningful, since they support the driver only. , Brakes and acceleration steer must the pilot still - and this prepares in the CL 500 very much joy for it. , Who looks for a leichtfüssigen sports car for curve scratching, is clear with the CL at the wrong address. But can rare be handled so spielerisch over two tons automobile. Who wants to really know it, behände can around the corners arrows with the large Coupé, which among other things the relatively direct steering element, the surcharge-requiring 19-Zoll-Rädern (series: 17 tariff) and the standard dynamic wank and pitch reconciliation of the ABC chassis (Active Body control) to attribute is. Speed surplus in the curve entrance diminishes the CL under-steering, and goes the driver thereby from the gas, is only minimum load change reactions to be felt, which the gently regulating ESP besides surely in the grasp has. The domain of the CL 500 is however the comfortable, from drive, wind and unreeling noises undisturbed Dahingleiten - with the certainty, on the sovereigns force development of 388 HP to always rely to be able, which the cultivated 5,5-Liter-V8 sends by filter stage mechanism on the rear wheels. The CL controls these perfect balance between Kraft and Komfort on a large scale a S-class."





Verdict

Refrained from the price there are few, which one could criticize at the CL 500. Hardly another car connects comfort and Hightech of a luxury sedan with the dynamic appearance of a large Coupés. Soberly regarded, the CL offers the technology of the S-class - however in the much more elegant, but somewhat more unpractical form and at the clearly higher price. The CL 500 - thus a redundant car? To this conclusion coolly calculating head human being must come inevitably. But even such state in the CL fast that the life can be in the abundance a treat.
