The 2019 CLS is still pretty fresh, having been
officially revealed this month and, as is often the case, Mercedes-Benz will
roll out a special edition for its first customers before the plain vanilla
ones become available.
This Edition 1 launch model was spotted recently in
Germany and, unless you look really close, you may not realize that it looks a
bit different compared to the rest of the range.
Starting with the exterior, there's Edition 1
lettering on the front fenders, as well as AMG Line parts. According to
Mercedes, the Edition 1 CLS also comes with LED headlights and black 19"
AMG alloys as standard, although this car apparently didn't get the memo.
Inside, it's got black pearl nappa leather seats
with copper-colored accents and contrast top stitching, all of which are
visible in this video. Other features include the IWC analogue clock, Edition 1
floor mats, chrome Edition 1 lettering on the center console and a gloss black vehicle
key.
As for why it says CLS 350 on the rear, we can only
assume that the 'd' is missing, since the only 350-badged model in the new CLS
range that we know of is a diesel, producing 286 PS and 600 Nm.
