Successful since presentation

The base model with the Avantgarde exterior serially includes a new front lower spoiler with prominent air vents, two openings on the sides and a silver chrome front divider. The rear lower spoiler has a black insert in the imitation diffuser and a silver chrome decorative strip.

Major improvement in a number of technologies

The CLS model has had a significant technology upgrade over the past year. Thus, refresh during the summer of 2020 focused on upgrading the driver assistance system to provide more driver support. This has resulted in a particularly high level of active security. The CLS model serially includes an Active Brake Assist system that can prevent a collision or reduce its weight in many situations, using autonomous braking. This system is also able to brake in the case of stationary vehicles and pedestrians at typical city speeds and even prevent collisions, depending on the situation. As part of the Driving Assistance package, this is also possible when crossing the lane for the opposite direction.

A number of additional Intelligent Drive functions can be added to this Driving Assistance package. This includes an Active Speed Limit Assist system that responds to speed limit changes using map data as well as Traffic Sign Assist character recognition function information. On the route based on adjusting the speed before detected bends, roundabouts, toll booths, T-junctions, as well as before entering/exiting the highway, is also part of the package. If the driver turns on active distance assist distronic with a distance based on speed adjustment, the CLS model can even react to traffic information through the Live Traffic service.

With the Driving Assistance Package Plus, the Active Stop-and-Go Assist function can largely assume the task of keeping vehicles in the lane and distance up to approximately 60 km/h with high availability in motorway traffic jams when lane markings are detected. The vehicle can be autonomously started up to one minute after stopping. The Active Steering Assist function can support a driver on multi-lane roads with an emergency corridor function and warns if the vehicle moves away from the middle of the lane. On motorways, at speeds below 60 km/h, the vehicle relies on detected lane markings and uses swarm intelligence to determine its direction towards nearby vehicles.
