First undisguised Mercedes CLS pictures

26th May 2010

This is the stylish new face of the CLS! Yesterday we brought you a sneak preview of the eagerly anticipated next generation of the popular four-door Mercedes during an official photoshoot and almost all of the production ready car was on display.

However, some of the distinctive new styling details at the front end were concealed with black masking tape, but now we can reveal the new nose of the CLS in all its glory. Although the person crouched in front conviently covers the silver arrow badge, the rest of the redesign is clear to see.

New LED running lights feature prominently along the front bumper, and are also intergrated into the headlight clusters, in a horizontal 'C' shape that echoes the indicators on the door mirrors.

The bigger grille has been simplified to feature a single chrome bar, and the lower air-intake is in a trapezoid shape to match the new exhausts pipes. and fit with the headlights that  closely resemble the rest of the range, giving the CLs a 'family' look.

Arriving at the Paris motor show in September, more details and offical pictures will be coming soon.
