Knoobie Supercharged June 7, 2019 Share June 7, 2019 SPIED! MERCEDES-BENZ CLA SHEDS SOME CAMO https://www.motortrend.com/news/spied-mercedes-benz-cla-sheds-some-camo/ Just a few months ago, our spy photographers caught a next-generation CLA prototype out testing, possibly in AMG form. Now, the CLA has returned wearing a different grille and less camouflage. Though that earlier prototype appeared to wear Mercedes-AMG's Panamericana grille, this CLA sports a front end inspired by the CLS-Class. The camouflage obscures the shape of the headlights, but the LED accents look similar to those of its swoopy big brother. It's also safe to say the taillights have changed. Unless the camo is fooling us, the rear end looks more upright than before. Overall, the new model looks longer than its predecessor. A few interior shots reveal a more streamlined cabin. This prototype features one large screen that runs across the dashboard, replacing the two separate screens for the instrument cluster and infotainment system. The circular vents take on a different look, and there is now a simpler array of buttons just below. Red contrast stitching and a flat-bottom steering wheel hint at AMG roots, but this car doesn't look like an AMG from the exterior. It's possible Mercedes will offer some sort of AMG interior package, or that this prototype is just a mixed bag of parts. According to Autocar, Mercedes has confirmed it will launch the CLA and CLA Shooting Brake next year. We don't know Mercedes' exact plans for the U.S. market, but the model will likely slot above the new A-Class with a sleeker coupe-like profile. The interiors of the A-Class and CLA should be very similar. The CLA could share engines and gearboxes with the A-Class. Our A-Class comes with a 2.0-liter turbo-four making 188 hp and 221 lb-ft of torque, which is paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. An AMG version of the A-Class is also very likely coming to the U.S., although it's unclear how much power it will make.

If yes, James would love it. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old-driver 5th Gear June 20, 2019 Share June 20, 2019 Saw the car in the flesh.... the RED is stunning. list price at 181k... less a bit here and there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bozo88 Neutral Newbie June 21, 2019 Share June 21, 2019 Viewed the car at a PI. Tbh, despite the slightly longer wheelbase, its still as squeezy as the old CLA at the back. Small kids would be ok, but teenagers will complain. Boot space is rather deep. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max383 Neutral Newbie July 14, 2019 Share July 14, 2019 Hi... does anyone know if this car comes with Mercedes' fake leather? How exactly do you maintain this? With same leather cleaner and conditioner? Will the material absorb the conditioner? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
subzero17 2nd Gear July 15, 2019 Share July 15, 2019 (edited) Those thinking of signing the new CLA 2019 from C&C, their progressive trim rear seats got no aircon vents.One of those things that you don't realise until someone point it out to you.

One of those things that you don't realise until someone point it out to you. wow that's disappopinting. even cars from kia and hyundai have those rear aircon vents. maybe that's why they have 3 vents in the centre dash, have to blast from the front haha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
