Agility | Transmission<br />

23<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are those who think the number seven has magical<br />

properties <strong>–</strong> our transmission developers, for example<br />

Mercedes - Benz has always been associated with particularly<br />

refined and long - lasting automatic transmissions.<br />

Hardly surprising, perhaps, when you consider that, forty<br />

years ago, we were the first manufacturer to offer a car<br />

equipped with a hydraulic automatic transmission. Much<br />

has happened since then. And since the <strong>CLS</strong> is brimming<br />

with leading-edge technology from start to finish, all<br />

the models are equipped as standard with the innovative<br />

7G - TRONIC automatic transmission. Its seven forward<br />

gears allow it to react on the basis of smaller differences<br />

in engine speed, for ultra-smooth gearchanges. Optional<br />

steering - wheel shift paddles make for even faster gear<br />

changes.
