New 2021 Mercedes-Benz CLS gets a new steering wheel, adds MBUX 01

Starting April 2021, the Mercedes-Benz CLS gets an update to bring it in line with the rest of its siblings. Updates extend to the exterior, and also interior to enhance its looks and give it more dynamism. Safety and convenience technology are also ramped up in this update.

Outside, the most obvious change is the front bumper that has more striking air intakes and a sportier physog. The AMG Line exterior looks especially menacing with its sporty-yet-classy trim around the front intakes and radiator grille.

Inside, the CLS now gets Mercedes' latest steering wheel finished in Nappa leather. The latest MBUX infotainment system is now integrated with Mercedes' trademark dual high-resolution 10.25-inch screens. This is still one of our favourite interiors and having MBUX just sweetens the deal more.
