To accommodate the enormous power of the V12 Biturbo engine, the CL 600 is equipped as standard with 5-speed automatic transmission with Touchshift. This transmission unit ensures particularly smooth gear-shifting and adapts to your individual driving style.

By simply nudging the selector lever on the steering column, you can also shift up and down manually.

The 7G-TRONIC automatic transmission (standard for the CL 500 and the CL 500 4MATIC) contributes to an optimum transmission ratio. The resulting swift response characteristics and optimum acceleration enhance both driving pleasure and comfort. You will barely feel the gearshifts. One of the benefits of the seven ratio steps is a reduction in the average engine speed. This in turn contributes to lower fuel consumption and noise emissions.
