As usual, Mercedes has proved that it doesn’t compromise when it comes to the interior quality, feel, and features inside its cars. The CLS-Class interior comes with a plethora of features. The front seats are plush bucket seats with 8-way power adjustability and are ventilated. They offer great lumbar support and confidence and suit the driving conditions whether it be in comfort mode or sport mode. The seats are upholstered in rich Nappa leather, which further enhances the aesthetics and comfort of the interior.
The rear seats are also pretty comfortable ones and come in a 40-20-40 split configuration. They have the ability to fold forward, thereby increasing the storage space. The only drawback of the CLS-Class interior seems to be the fact that the sloping roofline, although attractive, takes away some headroom. The interior also hosts various features such as a dual-zone automatic climate control unit, a sunroof, leather upholstery & wood trim finishes, and 12 V DC power outlets for added convenience.

Standout interior features include:
- Nappa leather upholstery
