Engine specifications of the 2021 CLS

The engine of the 2021 Mercedes-Benz CLS 450 and 450 4MATIC®* generates 362 horsepower and 369 lb.-ft. of torque. Despite sharing this power, the 4MATIC®* trim will give you a quicker acceleration time. Not to say the 5.1-second acceleration from 0 – 60 miles per hour is anything to scoff at in the base trim, but the 4MATIC trim will decrease that to 4.8 seconds. Likewise, the AMG® 53 trim will give you 429 horsepower and 384 lb.-ft. of torque. This enables the AMG® trim to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in only 4.4 seconds.

Now that we know a bit more about the power and performance of this model, let’s check out some of the upgrades and technologies you can find.
