Mercedes CL 500 4Matic test drive

Mercedes has created an all-wheel drive for its luxury CL-Class Coupe for the first time. The new CL 500 4MATIC offers even greater traction and handling stability.

This two-door model is equipped with a 285 kW/388 hp V8 engine, and in addition to 4MATIC it features innovations such as the Intelligent Light System and the preventive occupant protection system PRE-SAFE as standard.

Weighing just 70 kilograms, the new all-wheel-drive system developed by Mercedes-Benz is the lightest drive system of its kind and it requires just 5.4 seconds to accelerate from zero to 100 km/h, and reaches an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h.
4MATIC is permanently active and therefore requires no response time to assist the driver in unfavourable weather and driving conditions.

This new model is characterised by the same high quality safety and comfort features as the luxury coupé with rear-wheel drive, and additionally a ski bag and 18 inch nine spoke light alloy wheels.
Other Mercedes innovations available as an option include the radar-based Brake Assist PLUS, PRE-SAFE® brakes and night view assist.
