Mercedes-Benz Class Denver - Mercedes-Benz of Littleton - Denver

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

In this blog posting we provide a listing and summary information on the current Mercedes-Benz automobile classes. For additional information we invite you to contact Mercedes-Benz of Littleton and their knowledgeable professionals on staff.

C-Class
Seven years in the making, the new C-Class will not only meet your needs, it promises to exceed your expectations. Available in two distinct models - sport and luxury - the C-Class boasts a wider and lower stance for superior aerodynamics, and new engineering standards for an entire industry, representing the best in ergonomic design.

CL-Class
While every Mercedes-Benz is special, our top-of-the-line CL-Class Coupe has always been something even rarer. A triumph of engineering, innovation, design, and craft, the new CL-Class continues this dynamic tradition - and takes it further. From the open sweep of its pillarless cabin, to the richly hewn interior, to state-of-the-art performance and safety features, the CL is very much in a class by itself.

G-Class
It’s the one that started it all. This rugged, hand-assembled 4-wheel-drive vehicle is an icon of strength and luxury. With 7-speed transmission hitched to a stalwart V-8 engine and three locking differentials for off-road handling, it’s as fun as it is commanding. For drivers who insist on legendary, the G-Class is the very real answer.

CLK-Class
The CLK-Class is a perfect blend of style, substance and soul. The pillarless design makes the coupe nearly as open and airy as the cabriolet. And once you’re behind the wheel, you can sense that you´ve joined Mercedes-Benz in a 100+ year celebration of the joy of driving.

SL-Class
It’s a tale that improves with each telling. The seductive 2009 SL-Class celebrates new touches to excite the most discerning driver. A resculpted exterior, including a larger front air dam, pronounced side grills, and new side mirrors hint at its racing lineage. Presenting four powerful engine choices, the 2009 SL-Class offers immeasurable ways to redline your adrenaline.

E-Class
Poise and performance. The E-Class Sedans and Wagons possess a wealth of luxuries without forgetting their racing pedigree. The powerful and efficient engine harkens to a time of superior handcraftsmanship and attention to detail, yet looks ahead with technological innovations.

GL-Class
Superior luxury, technology and craftsmanship - for seven. That’s the GL-Class. There is a trio of muscular engines, as well as advances like PRE-SAFE and 4MATIC 4-wheel drive. The GL-Class has more muscle than ever, giving it exceptional on-road poise and off-road authority. For a full-blooded Mercedes-Benz, the GL-Class is your answer.

R-Class
Included in this class are Crossovers the R320 CDI and R350 4MATIC. The 2008 R320 CDI Crossover is a rare example of performance and efficiency on a grand scale. Its revolutionary diesel engine achieves 30 percent better fuel economy, while producing notably fewer greenhouse gas emissions. Room for seven adults.

SLK-Class
The redesigned 2009 SLK-Class inspires great passions even while standing still. A more aggressive front bumper, new grille, and new diffuser-style rear apron speak volumes about its Formula 1 heritage. Under the hood is a choice of engines so advanced in their tuning, they can deliver nearly their full power at low rpms, assuring rocket-like acceleration. The retractable hardtop signals pure exhilaration, converting the SLK-Class from coupe to convertible in 22 silent, near-magical seconds.

S-Class
After 50 years, the S-Class remains an icon of driving pleasure. A rolling repository of the best in performance, luxury, safety, and design, it boasts more power than previous models, along with an enhanced PRE-SAFE system that actually anticipates and prepares for a collision. In an S-Class you’ll discover firsthand what the automobile was meant to be.

CLS-Class
The iconic CLS-Class four-door coupe boasts design refinements that make its sleek, curvaceous steel skin even more arresting. Inside, the finest leathers, hand-fitted over individual rear seats, and redesigned COMAND system assure an intimate connection between driver and road. The interior comfort of the CLS-Class is matched only by its tremendous power.

M-Class
Light truck/SUVs include the ML320 CDI SUV, ML350 SUV, ML550 SUV,  and ML63 AMG. With more pulling power than most V-8s, the clean, quiet ML320 CDI diesel-powered V-6 lets loose 398 lb-ft of torque right where you want it. And it does so while getting up to 30 percent better fuel economy than comparable gasoline engines.

E-Class
Poise and performance. The E-Class Sedans and Wagons possess a wealth of luxuries without forgetting their racing pedigree. The powerful and efficient engine harkens to a time of superior handcraftsmanship and attention to detail, yet looks ahead with technological innovations.

SLR-Class
Called “The Greatest Car Ever Built ” by one automotive journalist, the SLR represents the absolute pinnacle of what’s possible in a sports car. And now, with its retractable roof, the SLR McLaren Roadster proclaims it to the skies.
