Naza World has wasted no time in introducing the latest petrol engine technology from Mercedes Benz in this updated CLS 350 CGI for the Malaysian luxury car segment.
Understated but masterly neatly sums up the result of the restyling programme for the CLS. At the front, it is the modified radiator grille that stands out, with two louvers now instead of the previous four. The diamond-shaped, three-dimensional grilles painted in atlas gray that cover the air intakes project an even greater air of self-assurance as well as adding further emphasis to the vehicle’s width. The exterior mirrors have also been given a new look. The LED side indicator lamps that are built into them are arranged in the form of an arrow to produce a most eye-catching effect, especially in the dark.

The side view is dominated by new, attractively styled light-alloy wheels, measuring 17 inches in diameter. When viewed from the rear, the new-generation CLS makes its mark with a new rear apron, new taillights, as well as modified tailpipes. The center
section of the rear bumper now drops down further, while the additional light-catching contour running along it adds to the impression of breadth. This is further emphasized by the exhaust tailpipes, which are trapezoidal in shape, and not oval as before. LED technology is now deployed for the taillights: the brake lamps,tail lamps and indicator lamps all make use of the extra-fast-reacting light-emitting diodes. Just like the side indicators in the exterior mirrors, the rear indicators look like arrows when they light up, which is particularly striking in the dark. The same is true of the optical fibers at the side, which are always activated whenever the low-beam headlamps are switched on.
A new deactivation function for the low-beam headlamps when the ignition is switched off helps to optimize energy management. The new bodywork details harmonies perfectly with the multi-award-winning design of the CLS and make the four-door Coupé always look as if it is about to dash off. Almost four years on from its world premiere, the electrifying, muscular lines of the trendsetter are as unique and asunmistakable as ever.

Great attention to detail was paid while updating the interior too: modifications include a restyled leather steering wheel in a three-spoke design with multifunction buttons, as well as a new-look instrument cluster, whose white dials now contrast distinctly with the chased surface of the back plate. The previous matt laurel colour scheme has been replaced with new chestnut wood trim elements.
The CLS features the new NTG 2.5 telematics generation, whose high-performance componentry combines straightforward operation and logical menu navigation with flawless in-vehicle entertainment. Features include speed-sensitive volume control,
a keypad for entering telephone numbers and radio frequencies, an MP3-compatible CD and DVD player, as well as a Bluetooth interface which can establish a wireless connection between a mobile phone and the vehicle’s hands-free system.
The Audio 20, Audio 20 CD with CD changer, Audio 50 and Audio 50 APS with DVD changer and LINGUATRONIC voice control system have now been upgraded to a 5-inchcolour screen. The COMAND APS comes with a high-resolution

6.5-inch colour display, LINGUATRONIC for audio, navigation and telephone calls, a music register for storing audio files, plus an SD memory card slot.
The CLS 350 CGI features an advanced six-cylinder engine featuring piezoelectric direct injection and spray-guided combustion that generates 215 kW/292 hp and returns impressively low fuel consumption figures of 9.1 to 9.3 litres per 100 kilometres (NEDC combined). It comes fitted with the 7G-TRONIC seven-speed automatic transmission as standard. In manual shift mode “M”, the driver is able to shift through the gears using shift paddles on the steering wheel if desired. This shortens the 0-100 km/h acceleration time by 0.2 seconds.

CGI means “Stratified-Charged Gasoline Injection”. Developed by Mercedes it works in
lean burn mode over a much wider rotation range. Another advantage is a sensible
reduction in emissions.
