Current CLS lineup and top speeds
The figures below apply to the latest generation available in most regions. Exact numbers can vary by country, wheel/tire setup, and equipment. For the precise specification in your market, check the official Mercedes-Benz configuration sheet or owner's manual.
- CLS 450 4MATIC: Top speed is 250 km/h (155 mph) in standard form; in some markets, the AMG Performance/Driver’s Package can raise it to about 270 km/h (167 mph).
- CLS 53 AMG: Top speed is 250 km/h (155 mph) in standard form; with the AMG Performance Package, it can reach around 270 km/h (167 mph).
Note: Top-speed figures are influenced by regional regulations and optional packages. Some markets and configurations may list slightly different limiter settings or available packages.
How the limiter works and why speeds vary
Top speed is controlled by an electronic limiter that factors in engine output, aerodynamics, weight, and gearing. AMG variants typically offer an optional Performance Package to raise the limiter, while non‑AMG trims usually stay at the standard 250 km/h unless a market-specific option is available.
Market and model-year variations
Mercedes-Benz updates model specs periodically, and markets such as the EU, US, and Asia may have differing package availability and limiter settings. The numbers above reflect current-generation configurations as of 2024–2025, but always confirm with your local dealer for the exact figure on your build.
Summary
For most buyers of the latest CLS generation, the top speed sits at 250 km/h (155 mph) in standard form. If you opt for the AMG Performance/Driver’s Package, you can push the limiter to about 270 km/h (167 mph) in many markets. Exact figures depend on market, model year, and equipment, so always verify the specifics for your region and build.
