The third-generation Mercedes CLS AMG combines a sleek sedan shape with a performance focus. When choosing one, consider both how the powertrain suits your driving and which equipment makes everyday journeys more comfortable.
One powertrain example is the CLS53 3.0 AT, which pairs a gasoline engine with an automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The automatic handles gear changes for you in traffic, while the drivetrain helps put power down under acceleration, particularly when grip is limited. Tire choice still matters.
Sedan — Mercedes CLS AMG Engines and Transmissions
Mercedes CLS AMG trim levels help distinguish equipment choices within a technical version. The CLS53 3.0 AT has configurations named CLS AMG 53 4Matic+ Special Series and AMG. When comparing cars, check the fitted seats, driver assistance features and infotainment functions; the configuration name alone does not establish every feature.
