One fuel-efficient feature of the 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG is start/stop technology. Any time the AMG is in drive or neutral with the brake pedal depressed, the engine stops. The engine starts again when the brake is released.

Despite a slightly longer and wider body style, all three of the CLSes offer better fuel economy than that of previous years.
