Mercedes-Benz has finally debuted the replacement for its original four-door coupe, the CLS. At first glance one should notice a similar silhouette to the outgoing model, but there are also an extensive number of fresh and highly accentuated lines that gives this four-door coupe a very bold, new look.

More aggressive both front and rear, the CLS is considerably more styled than its rather understated predecessor as Mercedes-Benz continues to hone the modern four-door coupe segment it essentially invented.

From the rear, we can easily see the automaker’s Bentley -esque rear "hips" that take the E-Class sedan’s look to a whole new level. A much flashier pair of tailights adorn the rear as well.

Up front, Mercedes-Benz opted for full LED headlamps, the world’s first to offer the full range of turn signals, running lamps, low- and high-beam functions purely from LEDs. The advantage of LEDs comes in the form of reduced energy consumption and longer bulb life.

Inside, the all-new CLS gains a more wrap-around-style dashboard with more innovative and upscale materials before. Matte galvanized trim surrounds the air vents, while hand-sewn leather wraps the dashboard.

Style aside, substance comes in the form of a lengthy list of standard features, such as COMAND with 40GB hard-drive GPS navigation, Bluetooth, voice control, 14-Speaker Harman/Kardon LOGIC7 5.1 Dolby Digital surround sound system, HD radio, in-dash DVD/CD changer, in-dash SD card reader, power sunroof, Burl Walnut trim, multifunction leather sport steering wheel, 14-way power adjustable front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control and more.

Motivation for this new CLS comes from a new twin-turbocharged 4.7-liter V8, good for 402 horsepower and 443 lb-ft. of torque. This is mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission, like the AMG CLS63 AMG variant, which swaps the automatic for an AMG Speedshift transmission with paddle shifters.

All of that power is transferred to the ground via 255/40R18s in the front, and 285/35/R18s out back.
