Design
Every line will seduce you. Even the bottom line.
A Dream Within Reach
With a show-car shape and seductive details, the CLA’s style is irresistible. Its profile is sleek like a coupe, yet it offers room for five and the innovation that defines a Mercedes-Benz. From its diamond-block grille to its LED taillamps, there may be no car on the road offering such eye-catching style at such an eye-opening price.
Slices through the wind. Carves through the corners.
Advanced Aerodynamics
Simply put, the CLA is designed to capture admiring eyes, not get caught by the passing air. It’s one of the most aerodynamic cars on the road, wind-tunnel-tuned to enhance not just efficiency but roadholding, stability and even poor-weather visibility. Sport and Night Packages add AMG wheels and lower bodywork to hug the road even tighter.
A cabin that’s a step ahead. And a cut above.
Spacious, sporty cabin
The true value of the CLA is how it delivers the luxury leadership and advanced innovation that earn the Star in its grille. From its winglike dash, big yet sleek 8-inch screen and high-back power front sport seats, to its available panoramic sunroof and multimedia systems, the CLA cabin sets you apart from the crowd. And ahead of it, too.
The Sport Package. From its racing soul, to your racing heart.
The CLA 250 Sport Package
Like every Mercedes-Benz, a CLA 250 has racing in its blood. The Sport Package wears its soul on the surface with AMG styling and radiant chrome grille pins, and where it meets the road with 18-inch AMG wheels. The Night Package cloaks the Sport Package elements in gloss black accents on the bodywork and bicolour wheels.
Performance
Goes green at red lights. Gets red-blooded at green lights.
Turbocharged Power
Beneath the twin power domes of the CLA 250 hood beats a powerful heart. A 208-hp turbo inline-4 turns less fuel into more torque with advanced Direct Injection and rapid-multispark ignition. ECO Start/Stop automatically pauses the engine at red lights to save fuel. DYNAMIC SELECT lets you dial in a mode to fit your driving mood.
Seven quick speeds. Twin shift paddles.
Dual-clutch 7-speed
Fuel-friendly and fun like a manual, with the relaxing comfort of an automatic: The 7-speed DCT transmission gives you both. The racing-derived dual-clutch design makes every shift lightning-quick yet liquid-smooth. DYNAMIC SELECT offers different modes for your driving mood. Shift paddles on the steering wheel put power in your hands.
The most powerful 4-cylinder. Thoroughly bred to perform.
The 375-hp Mercedes-AMG CLA 45
The Mercedes-AMG CLA 45’s handcrafted engine pours out 375 hp and 26.1 psi of maximum turbo boost, the most of any 4-cylinder engine in production. It holds the road with torque-vectoring AMG Performance 4MATIC, 18-inch AMG wheels, and an available 2-stage adaptive suspension. And with 0 to 100 in 4.2 seconds**, it holds its own in any crowd.
Turns torque into traction. Turns corners into action.
4MATIC All-Wheel Drive
Quick to respond, light in weight, and remarkably efficient, variable-torque 4MATIC all-wheel drive can take the CLA 250 to higher levels of agility and all-season confidence. As the grip changes at each wheel, 4MATIC can instantly and variably send up to 50 percent of the engine’s power output to the rear wheels, on demand.
Technology
The world is your playground. It’s also your playlist.
Endlessly Entertaining
With a standard 7-inch colour screen, intuitive central controller, and Bluetooth wireless audio streaming, a CLA can make going anywhere more fun. And with options like SiriusXM Radio, 450 watts of harman/kardon LOGIC7 surround sound, plus Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, you won’t miss a beat.***
Works like high-tech. Feels like second nature.
Advanced Convenience
From COMAND navigation with LINGUATRONIC voice control to Active Parking Assist, the CLA offers advanced options to help you go far and near, or even lend a hand before you get in: KEYLESS-GO lets you unlock the doors with just a touch, and new HANDS-FREE ACCESS lets you open the trunk with a convenient foot motion under the bumper.
Watches the driver ahead. And the one behind the wheel.
Insightful Safety
Active Brake Assist uses radar to help you avoid some frontal collisions, and can even initiate braking. ATTENTION ASSIST looks out a drowsy driver. A rear view camera is standard, too. And options include the helpful alerts of Blind Spot Assist, and Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC cruise control that can slow, stop and go with the flow.*****

ATTENTION ASSIST may be insufficient to alert a fatigued or distracted driver of lane drift and cannot be relied on to avoid an accident or serious injury.
Blind Spot Assist may not be sufficient to avoid all accidents involving vehicles in your blind spot and does not estimate the speed of approaching vehicles. It should not be used as a sole substitute for driver awareness and checking of surrounding traffic conditions.
Driving while drowsy or distracted is dangerous and must be avoided. Lane Keeping Assist may be insufficient to alert a fatigued or distracted driver of lane drift and cannot be relied on to avoid an accident or serious injury.
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is no substitute for active driving involvement. It does not adapt cruising speed in response to stationary objects, nor does it predict the curvature and lane layout of the road ahead or the movement of vehicles ahead. It is the driver’s responsibility at all times to be attentive to traffic and road conditions, and to provide the steering, braking and other driving inputs necessary to retain control of the vehicle. Drivers are cautioned not to wait for the system’s alerts before braking, as that may not afford sufficient time and distance to brake safely. Braking effectiveness also depends on proper brake maintenance, and tire and road conditions.
