Mercedes-Benz has introduced a new CLS Grand Edition special-edition model before it introduced a redesigned version of the four-door coupe in two years. The 2009 Mercedes-Benz CLS Grand Edition is finished in matte-designo paint and features high-grade designo leather on the inside.

Other exterior features include Bi-xenon headlamps with dark headlamp casings, AMG 18-inch 5-spoke light-alloy wheels with the pockets painted in titanium grey and a “Grand Edition” badging on the front wings. Inside the Mercedes-Benz CLS Grand Edition you’ll find high-quality leather, a roof lining in Alcantara, designo leather upholstery in “marron” (with the option of substituting for sand, black, mystic red, porcelain or chablis) and “Grand Edition” velour floor mats. Technology features include COMAND APS Multimedia control and display system, comfort telephony, PARKTRONIC and Bluetooth.

The 2009 Mercedes-Benz CLS Grand Edition is available in four engine variants including the entry-level CLS 280 and the 292-hp CLS 350. Pricing starts at 67,294.50 Euros with deliveries to begin in March 2009.
