CLA AMG.jpg SMALLThe four-door coupé is a clear statement of avantgarde, sporty influences in the executive segment.

The charismatic single-louvre grille and optional diamond radiator grille will excite you right from the start. The roof line - so typical of a coupé - and the high beltline, together with two accentuated side muscles, result in a streamlined silhouette. These, together with other measures, give the new CLA wind resistance properties that are unique in series production vehicles; and a perfect shape.

The sporty character of the exterior is carried over into the vehicle interior through the striking horizontal line. The continuance of design elements such as the dynamic side line in the door panelling creates a link between the exterior and interior. High-quality materials worked on with care and craftsmanship ensure that this vehicle meets the most exacting definitions for an outstanding coupé.

The CLA can be enhanced on both the inside and the outside with attractive equipment lines. The optional Urban and AMG Line design and equipment lines represent the first level in individualisation options. The second level is formed by the three optional design packages Night package, Exclusive package and AMG Exclusive package.

Just wanted to say that I've TEST driven C250 and the car is handling well, Would have loved to see it in Quattro. Omar Botha 

4-cylinder petrol engines

The 4-cylinder engines with 1.6 and 2.0 litre displacement use innovative and pioneering engine technology. Homogeneous direct injection, variable valve control and turbo charging provide outstanding torque and output figures. What's more, fuel consumption, emissions and the noise level have been significantly reduced. The ECO start/stop function is deployed in all engine types, regardless of transmission systemThe CLA 180 and the CLA 200 models are available to select from:

  • Better efficiency: the high-pressure direct injection via precise piezoelectric injectors and an enhanced combustion process facilitate virtually total combustion and thus higher efficiency, which means that the fuel can be used more efficiently.
  • More effective technology: variable valve control results in an optimum cylinder charge level and therefore consumption benefits, which also come courtesy of the lower weight, less internal friction and on-demand ancillaries.
  • Easy on the environment: the standard ECO start/stop function ensures that the engine is temporarily switched off if the vehicle is stationary, thereby saving fuel. In addition, the ECO display in the instrument cluster provides information about how efficient the driver's driving style is, prompting them to modify their behaviour and thereby reducing fuel consumption.

mercedes-benz-cla-class-c117 amg4cylinderturbo 814x443 06-2013With the new AMG model CLA 45 AMG 4MATIC, the high performance specialist from Affalterbach opens up a completely new dimension in driving dynamics for this vehicle segment. The newly developed AMG 2.0-litre 4-cylinder turbo engine thrills with a power output of 265 kilowatts, which translates into an unrivalled power density of 133 kilowatts per litre.

  • Power on a motorsport level: maximum torque is 450 newton metres. This power catapults the CLA AMG model in from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds.
  • Innovative components: the AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7-speed sports transmission with three transmission modes, double-declutching and Race Start function as well as the performance-oriented 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system provide exhilarating dynamic handling. A multi-disc clutch with AMG-specific electro-hydraulic control allows a variable torque split.

Four by four – safe moving off and acceleration, on poor road surfaces and in adverse weather conditions too: 4MATIC all-wheel drive will always spring into action when it's needed, as the rear axle engages automatically if the front axle is getting to the limits of its traction.This system offers added safety and driving comfort at all times in the new CLA 45 AMG 4MATIC. Thanks to a multi-disc clutch in the rear differential the torque can be split between front and rear axle at any ratio from 100 : 0 to 50 : 50 as the situation requires. In conjunction with the 4ETS vehicle dynamics control system this ensure optimal traction on wet and snowy roads, enhanced driving stability and improved handling on various road surfaces.
