2015-2016 New Cards List For You (Part 26)
Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class
Base Price $30,825-$48,375
Body Type Sedan
Unchanged New last year, the smallest and
least-expensive Mercedes-Benz you can buy in America gets only the most minor
of changes for 2015. The entertainment system receives a larger 7-inch display
and all models get a new steering wheel. Interior ambient lighting joins the
Interior Package and hands-free keyless ignition joins the Premium Package. The
CLA45 AMG gets standard AWD, while the CLA250 offers FWD and AWD.
Driver's Choice The 355-hp CLA45 AMG is a riot.

Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
Base Price $73,025-$107,425
Body Type Sedan
Major After losing ground in a market segment it
created, the CLS-Class is making some mid-cycle changes to get back on top. The
biggest are a new twin-turbo V-6 engine in the new CLS400, a 9-speed automatic
transmission in the CLS550, and a suite of optional advanced safety
technologies. New front and rear exterior styling and minor interior updates
round out the changes.
Best Buy Try the CLS400 if you couldn�t care less
about 0-60 mph times.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe/Cabriolet
Base Price $53,125-$68,225
Body Type Coupe, convertible
Minor After a refresh last year, the E-Class Coupe
and Cabriolet are mostly unchanged for the 2015 model year. The big update is
the addition of the new E400 model with its twin-turbo V-6 engine also debuting
on the 2015 CLS. It slots above the entry-level E350 and its less-powerful V-6
engine. For now, the twin-turbo, 4.7-liter V-8 remains available on the Coupe
and Cabriolet.
Best Buy New E400 packs plenty of punch for less
money than the E550 V-8.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class Sedan/Wagon
Base Price $53,000-$95,000*
Body Type Sedan, wagon
Minor New last year, the E-Class is mostly spared
updates this time around, save one important change for the 2015 model year:
The twin-turbo V-8 E550 has been discontinued and replaced with the all-new
twin-turbo V-6 E400. The new E400 should not be confused with the similarly
named E400 Hybrid, which uses a completely different V-6 engine.
Fun Fact The E63 AMG Wagon is quicker than a
Chevrolet Corvette Stingray.
