  | Mercedes-Benz CL500 4Matic Coming to Geneva Both AMS and AutoZeitung have charts on their websites that show upcoming cars and both of them have CL with 4Matic marked on April. AMS tells it's CL500 4Matic while AutoZeitung says the CL will also get a facelift, which I doubt. Anybody have more info about this? |

 Just like E500, CLS500, S500, ML500 and so on. MB felt that the 500-model name was so traditional that they wanted to keep it in Europe at least. Vehicles for North American and some other markets get the 550-badge. Last edited by bmer; 01-29-2008 at 11:02 AM. | |

| Re: CL with 4Matic coming in April? Yeah in France, Germany we have 500. It is a magical number in Europe, for a Mercedes. Whereas in the US, 550 is more impressive.

| Re: CL with 4Matic coming in April? Mercedes might just have announced its finest all-weather coupe. Benz is planning a four-wheel-drive version of the CL500, complete with 388bhp V8 engine, and it’s due for launch this summer. It’ll be called the CL500 4MATIC and uses the most modern version of Merc’s permanent four-wheel-drive system, which has already proved successful in the S-Class. Mercedes claims that, because the 4MATIC system is the lightest of its kind, weighing just 70kg, the new CL 4MATIC won’t suffer from worsened fuel economy compared with the standard rear-wheel-drive version. Both return a claimed 23mpg combined. Yet with all-wheel grip, the CL500 4MATIC sprints from 0-62mph in 5.4 seconds (0.1sec faster than the rear drive model) and carries on to a limited 155mph. What’s most interesting about this is that Mercedes could now introduce the 4MATIC powertrain on its other, higher performance CLs. Can we interest anyone in a four-wheel-drive, 612bhp CL65 AMG for example? For now though, the CL500 4MATIC slots into the luxury two-door range between the standard CL500 and the focused CL 63AMG. We anticipate a price tag around £85k. The CL600 and CL65 AMG stay top of the range. Autocar - Merc CL gets four-wheel drive M
