The mid-cycle refresh for the Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class has arrived and the changes look great! Here is my last 2014 CLS550 (very basic) parked next to a 2015 CLS550 4Matric. It isn’t my mostapples-to-applescomparison but it should highlight the differences in lights, bumpers and interior.

New Names for Mercedes-Benz Vehicles
Naming a Mercedes-Benz is a complicated matter involving tradition, prestige andtrademarks. Sometimes an old classic is removed and replaced with something that fits better with the current line-up. Well, that is going to happen in a big way over the next few years!
The goal is tocenter the model designations around the 5 core models – A, B,C, E, and S. SUVs will start with GL and then add the core model designation that tells you how it lines up. The Coupes and Roadsters get a similar system using the CL and SL pre-fixes.
- A Sedan – GLA SUV – CLA Coupe
- C Sedan – GLC SUV – SLC Roadster (formerly GLK and SLK)
- E Sedan – GLE SUV – GLE Coupe coming in 2016
- S Sedan – GLS SUV – CLS Coupe – SL Roadster (formerly the GL SUV)
Get it? I think it will take me a while to remember the new names and I know I’ll be calling it the ML for years!
Also, we are shortening the engine designations:
- d for diesel
- e for electric
- f for fuel cell
- h for hybrid
There is going to be so much extra room on the trunk!
