The 2012 Mercedes-Benz CL-Class is a luxury coupe offered in four trim levels: CL550 4Matic, CL600, CL63 AMG, and CL65 AMG. Most models feature a rear-wheel-drive layout, but the CL550 comes standard with 4Matic all-wheel drive. Power is delivered by a range of engines, starting from a turbocharged V8 in the CL550 that offers 429 horsepower to a mammoth turbocharged V12 in the CL65 AMG with a whopping 621 horsepower. A seven-speed automatic transmission is standard in all but the V12-powered AMG models, which use a specialized five-speed automatic. The base CL550 model comes impressively equipped with adaptive air suspension, a sunroof, keyless ignition/entry, and a COMAND electronics interface with a navigation system. Notable safety features include Mercedes' PreSafe system, antilock brakes, a driver drowsiness monitor, and night vision assistance, ensuring this model doesn't lack when it comes to safety.
