This CLA is the first Mercedes where the combustion and electric versions share an identical design and the same name — no separate EQ model, just one car, two powertrains.
A quiet 2023 facelift ended an era: this CLA's manual gearbox delete, done alongside the A-Class and B-Class, retired the stick shift from Mercedes-Benz for good.
Unveiled at the 2019 New York Auto Show, this CLA35 pairs all-wheel drive with a 7-speed AMG SpeedShift dual-clutch gearbox.
This CLA's underbody is nearly dead flat — the payoff is a drag coefficient of just 0.23, a figure closer to a sports car than a compact four-door.
The CLA45's turbo four made 355 hp, at launch the most power per litre of any production engine in the world.
This CLA was the first front-wheel-drive car Mercedes-Benz ever sold in the United States.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
