Mercedes-Benz CLA

Price $36,200 – $52,900
Fuel consumption 6.6 – 10.3 L/100km
The Car Guide rating 73%(view ratings)
This small four-door coupe has made quite a bit of fans in Canada by offering the luxury and style of larger Mercedes-Benz cars, particularly the CLS, at a much more attractive price. The five-passenger CLA is one of the most aerodynamic cars on the road, and Sport and Night packages add even more flair to the exterior. With regard to performance, customers must decide between a 208-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder and another one cranking up 375 horsepower.
