Our Direct Control Technology offers increased levels of driving agility, matched to a variety of transmissions to complement the standard cruise control and Speedtronic variable speed limiter.

The CLK 200 KOMPRESSOR is equipped with a smooth and precise 6-speed manual transmission. And convenience is key with the 5-speed automatic, an option for the 4-cylinder models. Finally there’s the new, inspirational 7G-Tronic which is standard in the CLK 280, CLK 350, CLK 500 and CLK 63 AMG.

Sharper steering, firm road grip and excellent overall control are all thanks to improvements in the chassis - better front tension mounts and softer spring-link rear ones – part of the new Direct Control Technology for the CLK-Class Cabriolet.

The subtle curves of the CLK-Class Cabriolet flow aerodynamically from its twin headlamps and coupé-style radiator grille, past the frameless and fully retractable side windows, to a thoroughly distinctive conclusion.

In unison with the invisibly integrated aerials, integrated rub strips, mirrors and side stills, this car is perfectly tailored to the open top experience.

True to form, the interior ergonomics perfectly complement the stunning exterior design. The contoured seats, multi-function steering wheel and automatic belt feeders provide the ultimate in ergonomic comfort.

The new generation of centre dome / console switches, with improved accessibility, means another elegant - yet highly functional - technological modification. Form doesn't follow function; they work together.
