2018 Mercedes-Benz CLA 4-Door Coupe

Design

With its sleek and distinguishable contoured shape, the 2018 CLA 4-Door Coupe is the perfect example of what luxury should look like, and with an affordable price tag. Coming equipped with LED taillights and a unique diamond-block grille, there is no other car in the marketplace with this type of modernized style. The CLA features a unique profile that was developed with more than its appearance in mind. It’s design has made the CLA into one of the most aerodynamic cars on the road. The CLA has been wind-tunnel-tuned, to enhance not just efficiency, but road-holding, stability, and even poor-weather visibility.

The advantage of the CLA is how it conveys the luxury leadership and constant 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, the cockpit of the CLA is one like a Boeing 747, you are ready to tackle any adventure as soon as you step foot inside its spacious fuselage. The CLA cabin sets you apart from the crowd. And ahead of it, too.

The CLA 250 AMG Line: Like every Mercedes-Benz ever built, racing is always in its blood. The AMG line offers a direct connection between driver and car, almost the same way the body and mind work together. The CLA 250 AMG line will increase the rate in which your heart beats in direct correlation with how far you press your foot to the floor. To give you an even more in-depth connection to the CLA 250 AMG line, the cockpit embraces you in exclusively sporty fitments with smoking red-hot detail.

Performance

With life comes a heartbeat, with the CLA comes a heartbeat with epic proportions. 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. To save you fuel, the CLA will automatically pause its engine at red lights, with ECO start/stop.

The 7-speed DCT transmission allows for automatic control with the flexibility of a fuel-friendly manual. This gives you an opportunity to choose how you want to drive depending on what mood you are in. The shift paddles on the steering wheel put power in your hands. The racing-derived dual-clutch design makes every shift lightning-quick yet liquid-smooth. DYNAMIC SELECT offers different modes for your driving mood.

Torque turns into traction and traction turns into action. With 4MATIC® all-wheel drive the CLA 250 can be taken to new heights and different levels of performance, agility, and year round driving 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.

The AMG CLA 45: With its own handcrafted engine which exhausts 375 hp and 26.1 psi of maximum turbo boost, this is the most powerful 4-cylinder engine out there. It holds the road with torque-vectoring AMG Performance 4MATIC®, 18-inch AMG® wheels, and an available 2-stage adaptive suspension. And with a 4.1-second 0-60 time, it holds its own in any crowd.
