Mercedes Benz India launched the new CLS Class in India at 67.67 lakh rupees (ex-showroom Mumbai) at the Grand Hyatt hotel this afternoon.
At the C-Class facelift press conference last week, Mercedes’s management hinted that at least two more launches were lined up in the following weeks and the first one has turned out to be the four-door coupe which is yet another brand shaper.
Today Mercedes Benz announced that it will launch two vehicles in India in the next few months.
IndianAutosBlog.com saw this one coming months in advance. In late August we speculated on an October release. We weren’t all that far away from the actual date!
The marketing tag line or slogan for this jaw dropper is “Sense and sensuality.”
Only a single variant is launched – the CLS 350 BlueEfficiency Avantgarde model which comes with a 3.5-liter V6 petrol paired to a 7 speed AT. It produces 306hp@6500 rpm and 370Nm@3500 – 5250 rpm.
We’ll list all the details in a post later today, but here are some other specifications- 17 inch tires, 80 liter fuel tank, 520 liter boot capacity and 1,735kg kerb weight.
It has been seven long months since the 2011 Mercedes CLS was last caught testing. It was in the form of a test mule then,. Now though, some progress has been made and we are pleased to share a few pictures of the prototype version of the 2011 Mercedes Benz CLS undergoing road-tests.
The car as you can see is quite heavily camouflaged, with some kind of armour like material, so the overall shape is hard to arrive at. However, these are the first images showing the cars interiors. The seat-adjustment buttons are located on the door and are seat shaped (as in Volvo). The navigation system looks quite standard as in all new Mercs.
The new CLS four-door coupe will come out in 2010 as a 2011 model with only one intention, to teach Porsche, Aston Martin and Audi what a four-door coupe really is.

Over here we have not 5 or 10, but 20 photographs of the much awaited Porsche Panamera, which is the first four door sports sedan from the German manufacturer. The Porsche Panamera is by far one of the most anticipated models, the official launch, still a few months away. The front-engined, rear wheel drive sporty Grand Tourer will try and make the most out of the luxury 4-door coupe-styled sedan market which will have entries like the Mercedes Benz CLS, Lamborghini Estoque and the Aston Martin Rapide.
