奔驰近日首次发布了2015款CLS和CLS Shooting Brake的细节。该车将于今年晚些时候发布，改款车将配备多光束LED前大灯，“它可以更精准的调整和优化配光”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。奔驰表示，该系统非常先进，远光灯无论何时都“不会干扰或危及道路上其他人的安全”。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，因此前大灯可在车辆进入时扩大照射面积。奔驰研发部门主管Thomas Weber博士介绍说：“采用多光束LED技术的前大灯不仅反应更快，更精准，而且可以根据路况调整亮度和照射面。更重要的是，它更多的功能可以让驾驶员直接了解前方路况，尤其是利用摄像头的弯道识别系统和主动照明功能。利用多光束LED大灯，奔驰再次展示了其在汽车工业中创新性方面的领先地位。”除了配备新的大灯系统外，2015款CLS在外观上也将进行细微调整并对内装和COMAND系统进行升级。该车将在古德伍德速度节上发布。

 

2015 Mercedes CLS teased with new Multibeam LED headlights

Mercedes has released the first details about the 2015 CLS and CLS Shooting Brake.

 

Set to be introduced later this year, the facelifted model will be offered with Multibeam LED headlights that "automatically and optimally adjust the light distribution more precisely than ever before." The headlights consist of 24 individually-controlled LEDs that are adjusted a 100 times per second using a camera and four control units. The system detects oncoming traffic and vehicles in front of the CLS and automatically adjusts the light beam to ensure other drivers are not dazzled by the lights. Mercedes says the system is so advanced that the high-beams can be used at all times "without irritating or even endangering other road users."

 

The Multibeam LED headlights also use the camera to detect upcoming bends and illuminate them ahead of time. The system also uses navigation data to detect upcoming roundabouts so the headlights can provide "maximum visibility at an early stage."

 

According to Mercedes R&D boss Dr Thomas Weber, "With Multibeam LED technology the headlamps now are able to react even more quickly, more precisely and individually to changing traffic conditions. On top of this, there are expanded functions of which a driver will become directly aware, such as anticipatory camera-based curve recognition with the active light function. With such features Mercedes-Benz once again is demonstrating its role as an innovation leader in the automobile industry."

 

As we have previously reported, the 2015 CLS will features modest styling tweaks and an updated interior with a freestanding COMAND display. The model could be unveiled at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
