Inside Look: The 2013 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class and SLK-Class

2013 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class

Though it has four doors, the 2013 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class is by all means a coupe. Designed by Hubert Lee, the CLS-Class’ expressive styling was designed to mimic an animal that’s about to pounce on its prey. From its all LED-headlamps, to its muscular haunches, Lee succeeded in making a dynamic and aggressive looking four-door coupe.

Watch as Karen Makris, the assistant manager for the E- and CLS-Class takes you through the many amenities the 2013 CLS-Class has to offer. From the hand-polished wood to the innovative mbrace2 system, which allows for drivers to use numerous Internet apps to make the most of his or her driving experience, the 2013 CLS-Class offers everything Mercedes-Benz customers expect in their luxury coupes.

 

2013 Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class

As Robert Burns, assistant product manager of the SLK-Class, reminds us in the video below, the classic 300SL gullwing and roadster models were supplemented by the smaller 190SL. Similarly, today’s SL-Class is complimented by the smaller SLK-Class.

Just as luxurious and sporty, the SLK-Class offers buyers three engine choices – the four-cylinder SLK250, the six-cylinder SLK350, and the V8 SLK55 AMG. Like the first-generation SLK-Class, the latest model continues to forgo a fabric top for a retracting hardtop. When stowed, the roof takes up approximately 1/3 of the trunk’s overall space, leaving adequate luggage space for both driver and passenger.

Like other Mercedes-Benz models, the SLK-Class is a technology tour de force, with features such as mbrace2 that allows drivers to use numerous Internet apps to make the most of his or her driving experience.

Unique to Mercedes-Benz convertibles including the SLK-Class are the Magic Sky roof that uses electrically charged particles to change the roof glass from clear to opaque. Meanwhile Mercedes-Benz’s Airscarf system uses a vent in the seat headrest to surround driver and passenger necks with warm air.
