2007 Mercedes-Benz CL-Class

The 2007 Mercedes-Benz CL-Class series sees some changes with the CL500 being eased out by the CL550, which comes with a new V-8 engine that churns out a whopping 382 horsepower. Next in line is the CL600 that comes with a twin turbocharged V-12 engine that can produce a powerful 510 horsepower.

The 2007 Mercedes-Benz CL-Class comes with a navigation system, heated steering wheel, electronic trunk closer and corner lighting fog lamps as part of standard equipment. You can upgrade to Distronic Adaptive cruise control which allows you to adjust your speed at a preset distance behind the car ahead of you.

Special features include an SOS button for emergencies that contacts the Tele Aid system if drivers need help. Other safety features include side impact airbags that protect the rear passengers, traction control and antilock brakes. The car is a good drive, and a good contender for this luxury segment.
