The Concept Style Coupe set the auto show circuit abuzz with its dramatic 4-door coupe design and athletic presence. Showgoers had only one request: Build it. The CLA has brought an international sensation to fruition with nothing lost in translation, from its diamond-block grille to its frameless door glass to its sweeping taillamps.
At red lights, it turns green. At green lights, it turns red-blooded.
Beneath the "power dome" hood of the CLA250 awaits a new era of performance. An all-new 208-hp turbo inline-4 leaps ahead with 3rd-generation Direct Injection and rapid-multispark ignition. ECO Start/Stop automatically shuts the engine off at red lights to save fuel. It eagerly fires back to life the instant you lift your foot from the brake.
The world is your playground. And your playlist, too.
From standard Bluetooth® wireless audio streaming to the available COMAND® navigation and innovative, integrated accessories, the CLA can bring you virtually endless entertainment and countless ways to make getting anywhere easier. And with 450 watts of available harman/kardon LOGIC7® surround sound, you won't miss a beat
2.0L turbo Direct Injection 4-cylinder engine
The 208-hp 2.0-liter turbo four in the CLA250 combines 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 quickly spins up to 230,000 rpm to boost response, with all of the engine's 258 lb-ft of torque on tap at just 1,250 rpm. Widely variable timing of all 16 valves and innovative 3-phase cooling team up to reduce emissions while raising your emotions.
ECO Start/Stop system
A fuel-saving ECO Start/Stop system automatically shuts off the engine at stoplights and other idle situations. 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.
7-speed DCT dual-clutch automatic transmission
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 mpg. Selectable ECO, Sport and Manual modes let you favor fully automatic efficiency and comfort, intensified response, or shift-for-yourself excitement via the steering wheel-mounted shift paddles.
Shift paddles
A pair of paddles strategically positioned behind the upper steering-wheel spokes allows you to manually upshift and downshift the 7-speed DCT transmission with just a flick of your fingers.
