The 2015 CLS Class, a facelift, gets optional MultiBeam LED headlights.

The updated four-door coupe gets redesigned headlamps which can be specified with the new MultiBeam LED technology (regular LED headlights are standard). The grille is revised and now sports A-Class like diamond pin detailing (not in the CLS 63 AMG seen here). The taillights undergo a minor reprofiling while the rest of the car remains untouched.

On the inside, a three-spoke steering wheel and an eight-inch display are new. The new COMAND system reduces the number of buttons on the dashboard. The interior offers a choice of five colors and six trim and leather grades.

The refreshed CLS is powered by a range of 5 engines - 3 diesel and 2 petrol - all complying to the Euro 6 emission norms. The range starts with a new four-cylinder diesel variant called the CLS 220 producing 170 PS and 400 Nm of torque. The top-end CLS 63 AMG (seen here) gets a 5.5-litre V8 which is available in two states of tune - 557 PS and 585 PS.
