<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.
