Development and launch

Information on the C257 CLS was released online on 29 November 2017,[5] with a public unveiling at the Detroit Auto Show in January 2018.[6]

The new CLS uses a four-link front suspension and a five-link rear suspension and only comes in all-wheel drive (4MATIC) configuration.[7] CLS 53 4MATIC+ models utilise variable all-wheel drive, allowing for torque distribution between the front and rear axles.[8] An electric motor is used to boost power output by 16 kW (21 hp) and 249 N⋅m (184 lb⋅ft),[9] and also powers the on-board 48-volt system.[10]

The CLS is also now a five-seater car, instead of being a four-seater as with the previous two generations.[11]

Equipment

Standard equipment includes LED headlights, 18-inch alloy wheels, ambient lighting, as well as lane keeping and speed limit assistance systems.[12] CLS models also feature 'Mercedes me' online services with a built-in LTE module in the car, enabling concierge services and remote control of the car.[13] Optional equipment includes air suspension and a widescreen cockpit consisting of two 12.3-inch displays on the dashboard.[14] An AMG line is also available and includes AMG body styling, a diamond pattern radiator grille, 19-inch alloy wheels, and a flat-bottomed sports steering wheel.[15]

gollark: It loads your provided thing as Lua. With no environment, so you can't do much, but you can loop infinitely and crash it.
gollark: textutils.unserialise is vulnerable to a trivial denial of service attack.
gollark: I was working on a format for serialization of basically everything (functions, including upvalues, and recursive tables), but it didn't really work properly.
gollark: Neat.
gollark: textutils.serialise doesn't like them. That does allow you to crash poorly programmed modem spies.
