奔驰近日发布了2015款CLS系列改款车。新车的最大亮点是配备了全新的多光束LED前大灯。该前大灯包括24个独立控制LED灯泡，利用摄像头和四个控制单元，每秒可调整100次亮度。该系统可探测到车辆前方交通和车辆情况并自动调整亮度以确保其他车辆驾驶员不会被强光照射。另外，多光束LED前大灯还利用摄像头探测前方的弯道并提前激活大灯。该系统还利用导航系统提前知道车辆是否即将通过环形道路，藉此调整照射角度，提升驾驶员可视度。其中新加入的CLS 220 BlueTEC搭载一台2.1升四缸涡轮柴油引擎，最大功率125千瓦/170马力，扭矩400牛米。而CLS 250 BlueTEC搭载相同引擎，但功率提升至150千瓦/240马力，扭矩500牛米；而CLS 350 BlueTEC搭载3.0升V6柴油引擎，功率190千瓦/258马力，扭矩620牛米。而新的CLS400（替代CLS350 CGI）搭载3.0升V6双涡轮增压引擎，功率和扭矩分别比前款车型提升了19千瓦/26马力和110牛米至245千瓦/333马力和480牛米。而CLS 500功率为300千瓦/408马力，扭矩600牛米。而AMG版本的CLS和CLS Shooting Brake仍搭载5.5升V8双涡轮增压引擎，功率557马力，扭矩720牛米，S-Model功率585马力，扭矩800牛米。另外，CLS 220 BlueTEC, CLS 250 BlueTEC, CLS 350 BlueTEC和CLS 500可选择奔驰的9G-TRONIC九速自动变速器，可进一步降低油耗并提升换挡舒适性和灵活性。值得一提的是，新车搭载的所有引擎都可满足欧6排放标准。至于外观上的变化，前保险杠上的进气口略微增大，前格栅采用钻石菱形图案，尾灯组采用深色灯罩。车厢内配备新的8英寸独立彩色显示屏，升级版三辐方向盘，其他内装也获得提升。
2015 Mercedes-Benz CLS lineup facelift officially revealed with Multibeam LED headlights
Mercedes-Benz has fully revealed the 2015 CLS facelift, following a teaser released earlier this week.
The main highlight of the moderately revised CLS is the addition of Multibeam LED headlights equipped with 24 individually-controlled LEDs automatically adjusted 100 times per second by using a camera and four control units. The high-tech system is capable of detecting oncoming vehicles and can automatically adjust the light beam so that it won't affect traffic participants. Moreover, the headlights can also detect upcoming bends and illuminate them ahead of time while the navigation system will detect roundabouts and then the headlight beam will be modified to provide optimal visibility.
A CLS 220 BlueTEC has joined the range with a 2.1-liter 4-cylinder turbodiesel engine delivering 170 PS (125 kW) and 400 Nm (295 lb-ft). The same motor develops 204 PS (150 kW) and 500 Nm (369 lb-ft) in the CLS 250 BlueTEC while a 3.0-liter V6 diesel with 258 PS (190 kW) and 620 Nm (457 lb-ft) is offered in the CLS 350 BlueTEC.
There's also a new CLS 400 (replacing the CLS 350 CGI) equipped with a V6 3.0-liter bi-turbo engine (although the press release says 3.5) which produces 26 PS (19 kW) and 110 Nm (81 lb-ft) more than its predecessor, granting an output of 333 PS (245 kW) and 480 Nm (354 lb-ft). Up next is the CLS 500 with 408 PS (300 kW) and 600 Nm (442 lb-ft), while the AMG-powered CLS and CLS Shooting Brake continue with a V8 5.5-liter bi-turbo delivering 557 PS & 720 Nm and 585 PS & 800 Nm in the S-Model.
Opt for the CLS 220 BlueTEC, CLS 250 BlueTEC, CLS 350 BlueTEC or CLS 500 and you can order Mercedes-Benz's 9G-TRONIC nine-speed automatic transmission which promises to slash fuel consumption while "enhancing shift comfort and agility." It is important to mention all engines now meet the Euro 6 emissions standards.
It takes a keen eye to spot the visual tweaks brought to the refreshed CLS lineup but we do notice the front bumper has slightly larger air ducts, the front grille has received a diamond pattern while at the back the taillights have a darker tint. On the inside there is a new eight-inch free-standing color display, together with an updated three-spoke steering wheel and other minor enhancements.
