The Mercedes-Benz CLK350 is another success story in a long line of touring/luxury models put out by Mercedes-Benz. They certainly know what they are up to with the sleek CLK350. This is a car fit for just about any occasion. It’s sporty, stylish and is an all-round good looking machine. Those who love the open air can choose the one-button convertible top model known as the cabriolet.

The lustrous Mercedes-Benz CLK350 comes with an engine that can deliver high performance travel that will see you to the door, with time to spare, for those early morning board room meetings. Matching this is the highly advanced engine management system that ensures that fuel consumption is kept as frugal as is possible. The combined city and open road figure of 10 litres/100 km is one that rates very highly with any rival cheeky enough to challenge its performance and economy prowess. Mated with the new 7-speed electronically controlled manually interactive adaptive automatic transmission, the CLK350 is leading the class. The transmission gives the driver the ability to shift on the fly if you choose, as well as an automatic that learns how you drive!

Interior features abound. Drivers can get very comfortable with a power tilt/telescoping memory steering column. Ten-way adjustable power front leather seats with dual power headrests ensure that you will be pampered and voluptuously comfortable. A 60/40 split folding rear seat is a nice practical feature. The steering wheel mounted controls for the audio system and telephone, as well as the instrumentation display means that the driver’s focus is purely on the road ahead. A trip computer will monitor your driving and provide useful information on distance remaining, as well as current fuel consumption. There is a speed sensitive 6-speaker audio system that boasts a subwoofer. Sound quality will most certainly keep any audio-freak happy with superbly clear state of the art sound.

Mercedes Benz consistently dominates the automotive world of safety. Very stringent demands are placed on new cars to perform very highly in any crash test. Of course, this is what consumers demand. Mercedes pride themselves in leading the way and therefore, the Mercedes-Benz CLK350 comes with an impressive list of safety features. There are dual front airbags, and the passenger airbag is turned on or off by the vehicle sensing weight in the seat. There are also dual door and headliner airbags. The ESP, or Electronic Stability Programme, reduces power output to the engine when deemed necessary by the monitoring system that uses the steering and ABS functions to keep the car in total control. There are 4-wheel anti-lock brakes and traction control as well. These are only a few of the standard safety features offered by Mercedes-Benz on the CLK350.

The Mercedes-Benz CLK350 is the all-round sport touring luxury vehicle for the discerning driver.
