2013 Mercedes Benz CLK Class Review Pictures
The 2013
Mercedes CLK-Class offer comfortable, luxurious accommodations and
sporty performance. They look stunning even when sitting still, and
are a delight on the road. They sit at the head of their class for
looks, performance and passenger space. In many ways, It is in a class
by itself, sporting sleek lines carefully sculpted to make a statement
different from sedan-derived coupes like the BMW 330Ci. Offers excellent
handling and are a joy to drive. They feel taut, like a true sports
coupe, and don't lean in corners. The ride is firm but comfortable.
Each offers progressively higher levels of performance, but are otherwise
similarly equipped. All three engines are mated to a smooth-shifting
five-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission, which
features software to adapt its shift points to suit the driver's style.
The transmissions also allow the driver to shift manually. The AMG
transmission lets the driver choose between Formula 1-like buttons
on the back of the steering wheel and the shift lever to select gears
when in the manual mode.
The 2013 Mercedes CLK-Class boast a long list of standard equipment
including: 10-way adjustable power seats with three memory settings;
ABS with emergency brake assist; electronic stability control; and
dual-zone climate control with pollen and dust filter. Options include
a navigation system combined with a computerized management system
for stereo and air conditioning ; Distronic, an adaptive, radar-based
cruise control ; It can be spruced up with an appearance package featuring
17-inch wheels, low profile tires and various chrome and brushed-aluminum
exterior and interior trim pieces . One particularly welcome touch
is Mercedes' return to the big proud three-pointed star in the grille.
The rear windows slide all the way down into body, providing an exceptionally
open environment. In silhouette, it is indistinguishable from the
coupe, with only the barest hint of a break in the roofline where
it meets the trunk lid.
The fabric top is fully lined and insulated and tucks neatly into
the boot, where it fills up about a third of the trunk's limited space,
which already gives up almost 2 cubic feet to the coupe's. Rearward
vision is impressive for a convertible, although not the equal of
the coupe. In the event of an imminent collision or roll-over, two
roll bars stylistically integrated into the rear seat head restraints
deploy fully and lock in place within 0.3 seconds. This is made possible
by replacing the conventional steel trunk lid with a composite design
that allows the integration of the antennae into the lid's structure.
It's a tribute to the 2013 Mercedes CLK-Class design that the car
looks much smaller than it actually is. It has neutral-tinted glass
and gray vanes on its grille; it gets blue-tinted glass, high-gloss
black vanes with chrome trim on its grille and an AMG styling package
comprising a front valance with mesh grillwork and three separate
sections and unique rocker panels, rear valance and alloy wheels.
