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.
