As for the powertrain, the 2019 Mercedes-Benz CLS is rumored to come with a new 3.0-liter turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine that produces 362 horsepower as well as a turbocharged four-cylinder engine that delivers 295 horsepower. The range will most likely be topped by a Mercedes-AMG variant.
Official details will be confirmed as the 2019 Mercedes-Benz CLS makes its world debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show on Wednesday, Nov. 29.
