New 2020 Mercedes-Benz CLA 250

Smoother, sleeker and even more beautifully proportioned, the second-generation CLA takes its 4-door coupe design into a new era. Slimmer LED headlamps flank a grille with a pronounced forward lean. The profile is clean and elegantly crisp, its athletic stance further asserted by standard 18-inch wheels. Wider, slimmer LED taillamps wrap around the shapely trunklid that's made even more elegant by relocating the license plate just above the sporty rear valance. Fine materials, forward-thinking technology and fresh style unite in a cabin that's at once spacious and enveloping. Digital instruments and displays, touchpads on the steering wheel and console and an industry-advancing voice interface enhance ease of use. Aircraft-inspired round vents and racing-inspired seats with four integrated head restraints emphasize its sporty mission. And standard luxuries abound, like power front seats with memory, a Panorama roof and dual-zone climate control. Offering sweeping skyward views to both front- and rear-seat passengers, this giant, fully functional glass sunroof features a large panel that can tilt up for ventilation or slide back for an open-air feeling. A power interior shade lets occupants vary the amount of sunlight entering the cabin and you can even open and close it using the car's advanced voice control system.

The 221-hp 2.0L inline-4 engine combines turbocharging with numerous advances to deliver more power from less fuel. Its rapid-multispark ignition and high-pressure Direct Injection can fine-tune themselves in milliseconds. Its twin-scroll turbo and CAMTRONIC variable valve lift help keep all 258 lb-ft of torque on tap from just 1,800 rpm. Clever CONICSHAPE cylinders slash friction to help reduce wear and fuel consumption. And a particulate filter helps make its emissions even cleaner. An ECO Start/Stop system automatically shuts off the engine at stoplights and other idle situations, to save fuel and reduce emissions. As soon as the driver lifts off the brake, the engine instantly restarts, for immediate acceleration response. The ECO Start/Stop system can also be shut off by the driver at any time. The racing-inspired 7-speed transmission combines the sporty response of a manual, the smooth refinement of an automatic and better efficiency than either. Dual clutches offer quicker gear changes than a human can shift a traditional manual gearbox, while three overdrive ratios boost highway efficiency. Selectable ECO, Sport and Comfort modes let you favor fully automatic efficiency and comfort, intensified response, or shift-for-yourself excitement via the steering wheel-mounted shift paddles. The CLA front-wheel drive system is an ideal match for its nimble handling and efficient packaging. Impeccable calibration of the Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) and Electronic Traction System (ETS) enhances tire bite under hard acceleration, while equal-length driveshafts virtually eliminate undesirable torque steer.

Intuitive, seat-shaped controls help you find your ideal driving position with 8-way power adjustment, including 4-way power lumbar support. A memory system for each front seat recalls three stored seat positions with the touch of a button. The driver-seat memory also includes the power steering column and side mirror positions. Both front seats also feature adjustable cushion length, for optimal thigh support and added comfort. Sport front seats feature deeper side bolsters to offer enhanced lateral support. All four outboard seats feature racing-inspired integrated head restraints. The rear seatbacks fold down in a 40/20/40 split, offering a variety of cargo and passenger configurations. You can also fold the center section independently, to fit longer items like skis between two rear passengers. The release handles are in the trunk, so they're conveniently located where you'll need them and can be kept out of reach simply by valet-locking the trunk. Separate left and right temperature controls allow the driver and front passenger to enjoy personalized comfort. In addition to fully automatic or manual control of blower speed and airflow distribution, the system includes a dust and pollen filter that helps keep particles as small as 5 microns from entering the cabin. Five adjustable vents in the dash and a pair of rear-cabin air vents help maintain passenger enjoyment throughout the cabin.

Radar-based technology can alert you if you're approaching a vehicle ahead, or even some stationary objects, at a speed and distance that suggest a collision is likely. As soon as you start to brake, it can automatically provide an appropriate level of braking to help prevent a collision or reduce its severity. If you fail to respond, it can also initiate braking automatically at a range of driving speeds. The system can also detect and react to crossing pedestrians at typical city speeds. The first system of its kind, ATTENTION ASSIST®(R) continuously monitors up to 70 parameters of driving behavior and can automatically alert the driver with both visual and audible warnings if it detects signs of drowsiness on long trips. With enhanced sensitivity, the system can also help detect drivers who begin their trip drowsy and offer more useful information to drivers along their journey via a dashboard display. Bright white LED Daytime Running Lamps help get the CLA noticed, for added safety and in modern style. Their distinctive angular design accentuates the subtle forward lean of the grille.
