With its sleek coupe-like silhouette, the CLS450 projects an elegant yet dynamic presence on New Zealand’s varied roads, from urban Auckland streets to the scenic coastal highways of the South Island.
Powered by a robust 3.0-litre inline-six turbocharged petrol engine paired with EQ Boost mild-hybrid technology, the CLS450 delivers smooth acceleration and responsive handling tailored to New Zealand’s diverse driving environments.

Safety is paramount; multiple driver-assist systems come standard—including adaptive cruise control and active lane-keeping assistance—to boost confidence on New Zealand highways where varying traffic patterns demand attentiveness. Overall, the Mercedes-Benz CLS450 Sedan Petrol combines luxury motoring with practical considerations well aligned to meet New Zealand's road conditions and lifestyle needs.
