Aristocrat Motors & Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City Announce Arrival of the New 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class Coupe

KANSAS CITY, MO--(Marketwire - Jun 15, 2011) - Aristocrat Motors and Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City announced the arrival of the new 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class Coupe today (http://www.mbusa.com/mercedes/vehicles/gallery/class-CLS).

According to the official Mercedes-Benz website, the 2012 CLS-Class Coupe has the world's first 7-speed automatic transmission, re-engineered for smoother, more efficient and more responsive performance. An electronic selector and paddle shifters, allow complete control of gear changes without taking a hand from the 3-spoke steering wheel. Its multi-talented, multi-mode AIRMATIC suspension turns pressurized air into calm composure on any road. AIRMATIC not only expertly balances sharp handling reflexes with a relaxing ride, it also lowers the car at higher speeds to cut drag and enhance stability. The new electromechanical power steering with Direct-steer offers quicker cornering response, crisper on-center feel and easier low-speed maneuvers.

The CLS-Class Coupe has the world's first all-LED active headlamps, which generate light that's even closer to natural daylight than the standard Bi-Xenon headlamps. Its active Curve Illumination and Adaptive Highbeam Assist continuously vary the beam pattern of the LED headlamps to help maximize illumination of corners and straight-aways (http://www.mbusa.com/mercedes/vehicles/gallery/class-CLS#/class-CLS/section-2/tout-2/type-img).

Like every Mercedes-Benz coupe, it's sleek, poised and rakish. Like no car before it, the CLS-Class welcomes its four passengers through four inviting doors. Its frameless door glass and a tautly arched roofline, define a shape that slices through the air as deftly as its air-suspended chassis carves through corners.

The COMAND system makes advanced technology easy to enjoy with a convenient central controller and a high-resolution LCD screen. A 610-watt harman/kardon surround sound system delivers SiriusXM Satellite Radio, HD Radio™ stations or music via iPod, new Bluetooth audio streaming. The Navigation Programming features a 40GB hard drive, Zagat® Survey ratings and live SiriusXM Traffic.
