Next Mercedes CLS Previews Its Fancy High-Tech Interior
The next Mercedes-Benz CLS will feature a similar dual display found in the E- and S-Class models.
Following up on the first teaser image showing off the front end found on the new CLS, Mercedes has released another image previewing the interior. The front dash will feature a high-resolution dual display and it appears the CLS will get sportier air conditioning vents, similar in style to what was found in the GLC Coupe Concept. There’s also familiar carbon fiber trim contrasted by red accents.

The next-generation CLS is more closely related to the E-Class than the S-Class and will ride on the same MRA platform currently underpinning both models. Reports say the standard model will be powered by a new 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six engine. There will be an AMG CLS53 model also using an inline-six engine, but performance will be boosted by a high-powered electric motor. Unfortunately those hoping for a range-topping AMG CLS63 will be disappointed to hear there won’t be a direct replacement for this generation.
Expect more details to be released in the next few weeks, ahead of the car’s debut at the end of the month.

Those vents or speaker holes or whatever below the big LED panel make it look like it has a miniaturized version of the USS Discovery's spore drive.
