DESIGN
It's the second generation of a seductive original. Its four-door coupe style whispers seductively in your ear. Its industry-advancing voice assistant lets you talk back. And from performance to driver assists, it responds even more eloquently.
Fashion leans further forward. And sends every other car back.
Lean muscle leads the way forward from the clutter of other cars. Sleek LED headlamps and a twin-power-dome hood sweep back from the sharknose grille, clearing the way for a profile that slices the wind and a Panorama roof that embraces the sky.
All-digital cockpit. That responds to your digits.
Freestanding digital instrumentation anchors a wraparound cockpit with a central touchscreen and available reconfigurable gauges. Enticing options include 64-color LED ambient lighting, and heated and ventilated front seats.
PERFORMANCE
The CLA 250 goes like it shows. A new-generation 221-hp turbo inline-4 efficiently boosts power and torque. And its 4-wheel independent suspension is crisp in corners, composed in the city.
Seven speeds, dual clutches, no clutch pedal.
The dual-clutch 7-speed keeps the turbo engine's torque on tap. Automatic shifts are smoother yet quicker. Standard shift paddles put manual control at your fingertips anytime the mood strikes.
Three modes, for your driving moods.
DYNAMIC SELECT lets you fine-tune your CLA with the tap of a console paddle. Four modes vary shift points, throttle response, steering feel and more: easygoing ECO, cool-headed Comfort, sharpened Sport, and make-your-own Individual.
All wheels in, for all-season control.
Variable-torque 4MATIC® all-wheel drive can send power from the front to the rear wheels of the CLA 250 4MATIC in response to available traction. More than a winter wonder, its lightweight, agile design enhances cornering even on a dry summer day. [4]
INNOVATION
The CLA cockpit responds to you with its natural voice assistant and three touch interfaces: screen, steering wheel and console. The Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) might be the most capable and intuitive speech interface from any automaker.
Say what you want: Your CLA listens, and responds.
MBUX is easy to learn because it can learn you. Just say "Hey, Mercedes, it's cold in here" or "I need a coffee," and it can control many cabin features. Among them is the available MB-Navigation that can overlay instructions on live video of a turn. [5] [6]
Stay in touch: A smartphone app and WiFi keep you connected.
Mercedes me connect makes ownership easy. Access Remote Start or Lock/Unlock, see your vehicle status, or schedule service, all from your phone. And in-car WiFi for up to eight devices is available for a low monthly rate. [7]
Stay the course: Advanced driver assists smooth any journey.
Next-generation assists are available to help de-stress driving: Change lanes with a tap of a turn signal. Adaptive cruise can help steer, stop-and-go in traffic, even slow for an offramp. Safety sensors can help protect your hearing before a crash. [10]
