Mercedes-Benz CLA
The second-generation CLA was introduced for 2020. Four years later, it benefits from updated styling and extra standard content. Three trim levels are part of the lineup, all featuring a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine and 4Matic all-wheel drive—CLA 250 (221 horsepower, 7-speed autobox), AMG CLA 35 (mild hybrid, 302 horsepower, 8-speed autobox) and the new AMG CLA 45 S (416 horsepower, 8-speed autobox). A fully electric CLA is also set to join the ranks in the near future.
