The Mercedes-AMG CLS 53 4Matic + (and breathe) has the same inline six-cylinder engine as the S500 and CLS450, with its 48-volt electrical infrastructure and ‘EQ Boost’ starter/alternator that separates the engine and transmission. It gives a momentary boost of 22bhp/184lb ft, an engine-off coasting/gliding function and perhaps the smoothest stop/start we’ve ever experienced.

A electric compressor supports a conventional turbocharger (a la Audi SQ7), for 429bhp, 389lb ft, 0-62mph in 4.5 seconds and if you spec the AMG Driver’s Pack, 168mph (otherwise it’s the usual 155).
