Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class

Mercedes-Benz CLA with elegant lines and agile movements. With its design, it speaks not only about your boldness, but also about its performance.

The diamond-block texture of its wide grille is one of many intriguing details. Its arching roofline, frameless door glass and taut sheet metal complement the stance of its 17″ or 18″ wheels.

Inside, the CLA design is still handsome, like a leather-wrapped steering wheel with shift paddles, and an 8″ high-res color screen. A wide choice of dash trim options, including gloss or matte wood, aluminum and AMG Carbon Fiber. Options range from a multimode suspension to multi media perks like WiFi, voice control, Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto.

POWER front seats balance sporty design with sumptuous comfort. Each seat features adjustable lumbar and thigh support, a 3-position memory, and LED downlighting beneath the integrated head restraints. Folding rear seats with integrated outboard head restraints, center armrest and cup holders.

Automatic climate control offers dual zones, and filters for dust, pollen, smog and even odors. Satisfying click-turn fins adjust the executive jet-inspired dash vents. The rear cabin has its own adjustable vents.

The Mercedes-Benz CLA has a 2.0-liter four-cylinder direct-injection turbo engine that delivers 208 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. Accelerates from 0-60 mph in 6.1 seconds. Also, the engine is paired with seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Available 4MATIC all- wheel drive can send up to 50% of the engine’s torque to the rear wheels. This improves handling when the weather turns or when the road does. There are three driving modes on offer: ECO, Sport and Individual.
