The 2020 Mercedes-Benz CLA is a luxury subcompact car, marking the launch of the second generation of the model. Two trims, the CLA 250 and the high-performance AMG CLA 45 are powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, which produces 221-horsepower and 382-horsepower respectively. Both trims employ a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and offer standard FWD in the CLA 250, though AWD is optional, and the AMG CLA 45 comes with standard AWD. Underlining its status as a luxury vehicle, it comes with a highly contemporary cabin featuring MBUX infotainment system that includes a touchpad, voice commands, and a 7-inch touch screen display, along with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Key safety features include adaptive cruise control, blind spot assist, and automatic emergency braking. The 2020 model year notably saw a total redesign.
