CLS’s Grand debut

22nd June 2009

Grand by name, grand by nature! This is the Mercedes CLS Grand Edition, shown here with unique palladium silver matt paint. Other upgrades include 18-inch titanium grey AMG alloys and floor mats with one-off badging. Only the 350 CDI V6 engine is offered, but a re-tune has upped power by 47bhp to 268bhp, and cut 0-60mph times by half a second to 6.5 seconds, without altering emissions or fuel economy. Only 560 Grand Editions will be sold from July, costing £48,445.
