Mercedes unveiled the refreshed CLA and AMG 35, for the first time, with standard LED lights and a radiator grille in a new design on the Coupe, while the AMG 35 received the Panamericana grille previously reserved only for the most powerful AMG 45.
The hybrid CLA 250 e is powered by a 1.4L inline 4 engine (160 hp) combined with an electric motor that now has 107 hp, seven more than before. It is equipped with a new 15.6 kWh battery that enables a range of 82 km. The battery can be charged from 10 to 80 percent in 25 minutes thanks to the 22 kW charger. It reaches 62 (100 km/h) in 7.6 seconds. The caravan is slower by a tenth of a second, and its range is shorter by several kilometers. Other powertrain options, depending on the market, include 1.3-liter four-cylinder engines in the CLA 180 and 200 models, while the CLA 220 is powered by a 2.0-liter engine with up to 221 hp in the CLA220 and 250 models. The three diesel models have between 114 hp and 187 hp.
The CLA 35 has also adopted hybrid technology, but in this case it is a 48-volt mild hybrid starter-generator, rather than a true plug-in system. The power remained the same, so the CLA 35 has 302 hp and 400 Nm of torque and reaches 62 mph (100 km/h) in 4.9 seconds. Those who want more power can choose the CLA 45 S with 415 hp, which reaches 62 mph in 4.1 seconds.
There are more recycled materials in the interior. Basic models are equipped with 7-inch and 10.25-inch screens. Optionally, it is possible to get two 10.25-inch screens. The MBUX infotainment system has been removed and in its place is a storage compartment. There’s also Dolby Atmos surround sound for the premium optional Burmester sound system.
If you choose the CLA 45, the new AMG Street Style Edition model is on offer, available in both body styles. This model combines the gray color with the AMG logo and is equipped with the AMG Night packages I and II and has orange thread for the microfiber upholstery.
