Mercedes-Benz CLS Class CLS350d Diesel Cars
The Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class CLS350d Diesel is a luxury four-door coupe that blends elegance, performance, and advanced diesel technology, making it a compelling choice for New Zealand drivers who seek both style and efficiency. Known for its sleek, aerodynamic silhouette and premium build quality, the CLS350d offers an upscale driving experience suited to New Zealand's diverse road conditions.
Under the bonnet, the CLS350d is equipped with a robust 3.0-litre inline six-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine, delivering strong torque of around 700 Nm. This characteristic torque delivery ensures confident acceleration and effortless overtaking on New Zealand’s varied terrains — from city motorways like the Southern Motorway in Auckland to winding country roads such as those found in Canterbury or Otago. The diesel powertrain’s efficiency is particularly advantageous in a market where fuel economy matters due to relatively high fuel prices; expect combined fuel consumption figures hovering around 5-6 litres per 100 kilometres depending on driving style.
The vehicle’s air suspension system enhances ride comfort over uneven surfaces common across New Zealand's rural highways and urban potholes alike. Inside, occupants benefit from Mercedes-Benz’s renowned luxury appointments including high-quality leather upholstery, ambient lighting, and the MBUX infotainment system with a crisp digital display supporting Apple CarPlay and Android Auto – perfect for seamless navigation across regions from Wellington's tight streets to long journeys on State Highway 1.
Safety technologies abound in the CLS350d with active brake assist, blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keeping assist tailored for both highway cruising and unpredictable weather often encountered in coastal areas of New Zealand. Overall, the Mercedes-Benz CLS350d Diesel balances sporty elegance with practical capabilities that complement Kiwi lifestyles demanding reliability over extended distances without compromising on sophistication or environmental consciousness.
