The 2017 Mercedes-Benz CLA is a luxury compact sedan, part of the model's first generation. It offers two trims: the CLA 250 and the performance-tuned CLA 45. The CLA 250 packs a turbocharged 2.0L inline-4 punching out 208 horsepower, while the CLA 45 holds a handcrafted AMG 2.0L turbo four-cylinder engine kicking out an impressive 375 HP. All models feature a seven-speed, dual-clutch automatic transmission. With an aggressive design, the CLA feels more like a sports coupe than a traditional sedan. Standard tech includes an 8-inch infotainment display with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Safety features include forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and attention assist. For 2017, it received a subtle refresh with new bumpers, a revised front grille, and upgraded interior materials.
