The interior design is different from the CL coupes and very different from the Mercedes
sedans. Two large round instrument pods carry the primary instruments, using smart, colorful purple graphics shared by no other Mercedes-Benz. The instrument panel and center console are well organized and feature the Mercedes COMAND screen that operates the sound system, navigation system, and telephone, with redundant controls on the new steering wheel. Below center, just ahead of the shifter, are the ventilation controls, similar in style to the twin round controls used in the M-Class SUVs. The leather-covered seats that come with the car are superbly comfortable for grand touring, but if you need more and want more, Mercedes offers both dynamic multi-contour seats that give a continuous massage, or seats with active seat ventilation. The standard seats are larger and more sumptuous than those in previous SL models because there is more room in the cockpit, with more room to adjust the seat for tall drivers and more room to rake the seat back. |
