New Mercedes-Benz CLS boasts LED technology

A distinguishing feature of the new Mercedes-Benz CLS comes in the form of the full LED headlamps, which are the world's first to offer all of the regular dynamic light functions using LED technology.


The German manufacturer explained that this innovation boasts an impressive design - inside they are divided into three arrow-shaped layers from top to bottom: the upper layer contains an LED indicator, beneath which is a striking LED side light offering low beam functions.

Mercedes-Benz said: "The side light can also be seen when the dipped beam function is switched on, thereby creating a novel and separate night-time design and distinctive look.

"The lowest level of the headlamp houses the main beam and nightview functions."
In total, some 71 LEDs are used to provide an unmistakable appearance and a "significantly enhanced" view of the road compared with previous systems.

The new Mercedes-Benz CLS is set to make its world premiere at the Paris Motor Show in the autumn.
