Safety
The CLS has not been crash-tested by either the federal government or the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
It comes equipped with seat-mounted side airbags for front passengers and side-curtain airbags for front and rear passengers.
High-tech features like blind spot and lane departure warning systems are available in an $850 option package. The two are also available in another package, for $2,950, that also includes active cruise control that enables the car to sense a forward collision and apply full braking.
The market for luxury cars is a funny thing. A stylish car with performance chops can be just as popular as a more practical selection at a lower price. The fact that the CLS sacrifices less against both its E-Class sibling and the competition should make it even more appealing to this group of buyers.
