Mercedes-Benz has launched the all-new third generation CLS 4-door coupe in India. The prices for the new luxury car starts at Rs. 84.7 lakh (ex-showroom, India), very close to what we had expected. The new Mercedes-Benz CLS will go up against the likes of the soon to be launched second-generation Audi A7 and the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe in India. The 2018 Mercedes-Benz CLS stays true to its design language - a sleek and sexy four-door coupe with a sloping roofline and frameless doors and is one of those rare cars that looks considerably better in the metal as compared to how it looks in the pictures. Under the bonnet, the CLS will currently get a CLS300d version, powered by a Bharat Stage VI (BS-VI) compliant 2.0-litre engine the churns out a maximum of about 242 bhp and develops and peak torque of 500 Nm. The new CLS comes mated to a 9-speed dual clutch automatic gearbox that propels to car from 0-100 in 6.2 seconds, before reaching a top-speed of 250 kmph.
