2021 Mercedes-Benz CLS Unveiled In USA

The Mercedes-Benz CLS is one of the sexiest looking cars in its class and now the German carmaker has given it a nip and tuck adding to its looks. That said, the new updates are subtle and sort of blend with its design so you need a closer look to figure them out.

The wing mirrors are also finished in gloss black and the front looks even sportier in these new body colours, housing the diamond-mesh grille and large curtains.
