http://content.worldcarfans.co/2013/...1008204389.jpg Click here to view more photos Select engines getting 9G TRONIC German media is reporting Mercedes-Benz will introduce the facelifted CLS range in late June at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. The event will take place between 26 and 29 of June so expect official images and details to be published a few days earlier, possibly on June 23 as mentioned in a previous report. One of the most important changes will be the implementation of Active Multibeam ILS LED technology taken from the 2014 S-Class. In addition, select engines will be offered with a 9G TRONIC nine-speed automatic transmission. In terms of design, expect some modest revisions of the front and rear fascias, while on the inside it will boast the latest generation COMAND Online system with a free-standing display, a new controller and a steering wheel derived from the 2014 C-Class while the list of safety and assistance systems should be expanded as well. The 2015 Mercedes-Benz CLS facelift lineup (CLS, CLS Shooting Brake, CLS 63 AMG) is set to reach dealerships on September 27. |
Sounds like more of the good stuff for this sexy 4-door

I'm not sure if this should be posted on here or on the official thread? Both already have discussions about the 2015 model / facelift CLS.

2015 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class Spy Shots (With Interior)

The second generation of the CLS, which spans both sedan and shooting brake wagon bodystyles, was introduced for the 2012 model year so it's now about due for a mid-cycle update, which will most likely arrive in time for the 2015 model year. Mercedes has just introduced new versions of C-Class, E-Class and S-Class models, and soon will be launching a new GLK-Class and M-Class. Not wanting the CLS to be left out from the product overhaul, designers appear to be giving the car a bit of a nip and tuck to keep it looking fresh. As the spy shots reveal, the facelifted CLS will adopt a new grille, new bumpers and revised lights. The interior is also set to receive some updates, as evidenced by the spy shots, and we should also see a host of technology borrowed from the latest S-Class. These are likely to include the mbrace2 infotainment system, MAGIC BODY CONTROL camera-based adaptive suspension, and the latest DISTRONIC PLUS cruise control with Steering Assist, Cross-Traffic Assist, and Pre-Safe brake assist with pedestrian recognition. As for the drivetrains, we may see the CLS550 adopt Mercedes' latest twin-turbocharged 4.6-liter V-8, which in the S-Class delivers 455 horsepower, although we could see the current 402-horsepower engine retained. A V-6 option for the U.S. market is also a possibility. The engine in the CLS63 AMG model has just been updated so no changes are expected here, although the car itself will receive the same updates you see here. One major change for the latest CLS, however, is expected to be the addition of Mercedes’ new 9G-TRONIC nine-speed automatic transmission instead of the seven-speed unit currently fitted to the model. The 9G-TRONIC is said to be more refined and more fuel efficient. Note, AMG models will stick with a seven-speed SPEEDSHIFT auto. We’re expecting the facelifted CLS-Class to be revealed in the coming months, with a showroom appearance likely to take place near the end of the year. Sadly, Americas are still likely to miss out on the stylish CLS Shooting Brake. |
One of my favorite cars in 63 trim... Tons of mojo...

Some interior pics that were leaked earlier:

Very nice...
as nice it is, it still cant match its predecessor when it comes to style... |
Nothing ground breaking or impressive here....looks like your usual revisions at the end of a model run....
|
No round air vents! I do like the steering wheel though.
|
On the fence with those headlights
Holy Tablet Batman |
Why must all the German makes INSIST on this sorry ass excuse for nav display integration?! It drives me nuts all the Germans are doing this!
|
The current CLS does have a tiny nav screen but geez that looks like someone slapped an iPad in there.
Wowzers. |

Look for this trend to continue- even Lexus did it with the upcoming NX. |
do not like the 'add-on' screen like that. :thumbdn:
can only be cost-related, because obviously the s-class doesn't do that. isn't the cls derived from the e? |

Timing of the E-class refresh prevented it from getting the screen, although the redesigned 2016 model will have it |
