Mercedes confirms CLS facelift for October, Smart ForFour debut in July

Daimler has recently revealed some new details about Mercedes future product lineup.

Speaking at the company’s annual press conference, Daimler CEO Dr. Dieter Zetsche said that having reworked the core members of E-Class family last year, the company now plans to move further ahead in October. That’s when the family will be joined by a new generation of CLS Coupe and CLS Shooting Brake. Despite the company stating that they are part of a “new generation,” they are actually just the facelifted models as we have seen them in the spy images quite a number of times before.

Zetsche also confirmed that the new Smart ForTwo will be 2.69m long and the ForFour will come with more interior space than any comparable competitor model despite a length of only 3.5m. The executive further informed that the ForFour will be unveiled in July and go on sale in the fourth quarter of this year.

The CEO also reaffirmed plans to introduce an all-new sports car and unveil the S-Class Coupe at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show in first week of March.
