Breathtaking design takes priority on the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class. A ''four-door coupe'' variation on the related E-Class, the CLS is easily one of the most attractive luxury sedans on the market, and it's one of those cars that looks even better in person than in photos. It's powerful, too, with its 4.6L turbocharged V8 that make driving it an exhilarating experience. The 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLS550 is powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.6-liter V8 that sends 402 hp and 443 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels through a seven-speed automatic transmission. Simply put, the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLS550 drives beautifully. The adaptive air suspension and variable dampers provide secure handling and an impressive ride quality. The electrically assisted steering offers good feedback, loads up naturally and quickens the more you turn, making the CLS feel smaller than it actually is. Also helping that effort is a ''base'' engine that utterly flattens you into your seat with a simple brush of the pedal. It's hard to imagine needing any more power. As with the exterior, the CLS cabin takes the current Mercedes-Benz design aesthetic and makes it more organic and curvaceous. Materials are beyond reproach. The control layout is similar to the E-Class, though the CLS swaps in an analog clock and the older knob-style climate controls in lieu of newer toggle buttons.
