If it’s a stylish couple you’re
searching for in a luxury car rental, look
no further than the Mercedes Benz CL Class.
Though large, sleek lines and a smooth, stretched
out body make the CL Class undeniably elegant
and, with enough room to hold five passengers
comfortably, incredibly convenient.
Based
on the company’s popular S Class platform,
the 2008 CL Class’ body features frameless
side windows and eliminates B-pillars, which
gives the car a lighter, more airy look. Offered
in four different trims, the 550, the 600,
the 63 and 65, there’s something in
the CL Class to suit every driver and every
terrain.
Built
on a 5.5-liter V8 engine and seven-speed automatic
transmission, the CL550, produces 382 horsepower
and 391 pound-feet of torque while the CL600
features a twin-turbo V12 engine that generates
an impressive 510 horsepower and 612 pound-feet
of torque and a five-speed automatic transmission.
The
CL63 features an AMG-developed 6.3-liter V8
that’s paired with a performance-tuned
seven-speed automatic transmission and produces
518 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque.
However, those seeking an exotic car rental
with a lot of power should opt for the CL65,
which also features an AMB-developed engine
but produces 604 horsepower and 738 pound-feet
of torque, allowing it to accelerate from
zero to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds despite the
fact that it’s a grand touring vehicle.
Each
of the trims come standard with bi-xenon headlights,
18-inch alloy wheels, a hard-drive based navigation
system, an impressive audio system, Bluetooth
connectivity, 14-way power heated front seats,
a sunroof and park assist. But what makes
the class a true Mercedes car rental are the
optional features, which include the AMG Sport
Package (fancier wheels and a body kit) and
a pair of premium packages that include features
like key less starting, ventilated front seats,
a nighttime vision assist system and “Drive
Dynamic” front seats that automatically
inflate to add support.
