- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 มิ.ย. 2024
- The Mercedes-Benz CLA Coupé & CLA Shooting Brake are both compact cars in the Mercedes-Benz range. Both the Coupé and Shooting Brake offer a sleeker curvier look than the A-Class and also both feature very similar designs on the inside. MBUX is the heart of both models and is Mercedes-Benz's latest multimedia system featuring a simple interface that's very easy to master. It even features "Hey Mercedes!" similar to other voice assistants found in phones.

Hey Everyone! Apologies I had actually made a mistake on the dimensions section!
For the Coupe & Shooting Brake =
Length - 4,695mm
Width - 1,999mm
Height - 1,430mm
Hats off to Maarten Boelens in the comments section for pointing it out!
Hello please is the A200 Renault engine or Mercedes?
Shooting brake. I love it. This 2021 is my second shooting brake. 200. Auto. Black. Night package. “Indecent”.
And thanks Nick for these great videos.
Thanks Nick, love the Shooting Brake.
Thanks Nick, just upgraded my CLA to an A35 AMG. Both great cars, the A35 is a beast. Keep up the great videos
Oh awesome! Thanks Lyndon20! I’ll try! 🤓🤓
Hi Nick - thanks for another great video. Love the colour of that CLA under the showroom lighting very nice indeed 👌
Thanks for watching Mark! 🤓
Yeah an awesome colour! I love it!
I had to double take when I saw the notification pop up for this video. This is my exact car in denim blue with the premium plus. 💙 Such an underrated colour and looks even more amazing with the showroom lighting.
Haha 😆
I know it’s a great colour! It is quite rare!
The red & black seats are stunning
I’ve ordered mine in red and black but have not seen them in real life yet. Fingers crossed. 3 weeks to go.
Hi Nick, just purchase the Shooting Brake and thanks to you I am learning these James Bond gadgets a lot faster. Thanks Nick
Haha thanks Graham! 😇
Hi Nick, looks stunning, cla35 or 45 will be perfect to enjoy the ride. Thanks again for another video 🙏🙏👍👍
No worries Jag! 🤓
Another amazing video Nick. Very nice car. Thanks mate
Thanks Daz! 🤓
Picked ours up in November, absolutely love it, swapped from a c-class coupe as we needed 4 doors.
Got the premium plus as it was the only spec in stock.
Still learning something new everytime we get chance to go out in it.
Watching your other videos have helped us navigate through the MBUX..... Cheers.....
Thanks Mark! Ah very nice! By now you’ve mastered all of the buttons right? 🙃
How mucha month roughly are we talking for it
@@stizl0999 hi, so many deals were offered and we had a pcp to hand back. The deals ranged front £319 to £399 per month...
This colour is also beautiful
Great videos as always. I love my Cla so stylish for its class
Thanks Neilos24! I’ll try and keep them coming!
Great to see the shooting brake Nick😉
Haha it made a quick appearance 🤓
Great video. I have a CLA 250e and I love it. Be great to see a review on this car and it's tech info, as there's so much choice on the MBUX that I'm sure I have yet to find!
If I get the chance to I will! 🤓
New subscriber, I love the CLA 😍. Great video
Thanks Emma! Glad you enjoyed the video!
And thanks so much for subscribing! 🙏
Amazing videos buddy .... I think I have researched enough about my CLA 250e now.... but never saw anyone speaking and giving so many insights than your videos ........ thank you so much for that ...... one request could you please create one video on CLA 250e specifically? Love from Germany !!!!
Thanks Sonar! Glad you like the videos! I genuinely haven’t seen a CLA 250e since that comparison video I did last year...they’re so rare! But equally I can see why, even I’d love one!
@@npoleary they that rare? Explains why my company car request for one is taking ages! Been waiting months for car to be delivered.
Thanks Nic this is very informative. I noticed the inner vents have changed from chrome to black. Is there still ambient light in them?
Hey Daryl, thank you! It's one of the packages in the UK to get chrome in the vents with the Ambient Lighting. Currently it's the Premium Package to get this and if I recall this model I filmed was just standard equipment (excluding the paint).
Hey Nick,
Great video as always, I was just wondering if you can fit a tablet holder on the headrests to keep little ones in the back entertained?
If a generic one won't work and you need a bespoke / specially designed one, can you point me to the best option please?
Many thanks
Hey Dominic, thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
I thought that Mercedes-Benz made some so you might find them on their accessories website: accessories.mercedes-benz.com/en-GB/accessories/passengercars/a-class-w177-0110/telematics/entertainment/mount-for-tablet-pc-code-866-A2058207302
Hope that helps!
Great review....do you know if you can override the audible warning when opening the hatch on the shooting brake? Cheers..
Hey Ian, unfortunately no, there’s no way to disable that. It should only be a subtle couple of beeps though. And if I recall, it should only sound when you use the door boot button or the one on the key.
Found your channel yesterday, brilliant videos, informative and great content. Just bought a 2020 Cla 220d AMG Coupe premium plus. So excited, collect it in 2 weeks. Keep up the great work Ive just subscribed 👍🏼
Thank you Andrew! Ooo exciting! What colour did you go for? 🤓
@@npoleary went for white in the end.. Not the best in winter though 😂 No doubt i will be replaying your videos about the MBUX to refresh my brain. Alot to take in having come from a 2014 GLA 220d with oldy woldy graphics.
Perfect video as always. Thank you Nick. It is a shame that Mercedes still doesn't support full screen for Apple CarPlay.
Hey chdoors, me too! Glad you liked the video though!
Thanks again Nick. You did not mention the slightly different rear suspension set up in the CLA. This certainly gives the car better handling than the A class. Also the seating in the CLA is much more supportive with of course the kinetic option available at premium plus level. There is also quite a lot of leather in the CLA apart from the seats, it extends through door cards and cappings and onto the dash. I agree that it is a shame that this four door coupe sector seems to be in decline. It may seem a cliche but to me most cars now look the same and it is difficult to tell them apart!
Yeah...I’ve heard that online too, but at the same time I have also heard it does get asked about quite a bit still! I love the CLA’s think there very stylish! Wouldn’t mind one myself 🤓
Just a couple of little extra bits compared to the A-Class
A beautiful denim blue colour - same as my gla 150 4matic 🥰🥰🥰
Awesome! Gotta love that denim blue!
Great review as always. And perfect timing since I'm waiting to get my CLA 250e in a few weeks👍😊
I’ve had mine a month and love it.
Ooo very nice! Got your chargepoint at home sorted? 🤓
@@npoleary well yea, i live in an apartment and we just installed 15 new charge ports. I will have the only electric Mercedes, so I know I will get aloy of attwntion from my neighbours 😊 I choose the CLA Coupe with Premium plus package. I'm not sure if I will regret not picking the AR camera and DashCam option, have you done a video on those options?
I’ve covered the Augmented Reality briefly in my MBUX video :)
But unfortunately not the dashcam as it doesn’t exist in the UK. I’ve heard of it in other countries but not here
@@npoleary Thank you Nick 🙏
Hi Nick, watched this video on my Oled on Saturday but did not get round to thank you for it till now. Thanks, enjoyed it. Anytime at start of April I will be a very happy CLA man. Dealerships might be open by then too so fingers crossed. 👍🇬🇧🇲🇹
Oh awesome thanks Mannagga for coming back to leave a comment!
Jeez I don’t even edit the videos on an OLED, hope it looked alright 😅😅
@@npoleary I like your style. Style looks good on any device. That’s why I married my beautiful wife. She’s got it. And that’s why I opted for Shooting Brake. Now get some female support ,that has got it ,like Mahyar Tousi did and she’ll get it much bigger for you, (number of subscriptions and likes).😊😉😂😂🙏🏼🇬🇧🇲🇹👍
Great video Nick still enjoying my 250e shooting brake, only discovered the foot sensor for the electric boot the other day 🤦♂️
Aha Hands Free Access! Yup a nice hidden one!
I’m just about to order my 250e shooting brake premium plus. Need to decide colour and interior though ☺️
@@andyhamilton9060 hi, i just ordered a cla 250e shooting brake in the colour iridium silver.
@@andyhamilton9060 ordered mine in Feb! Delivery estimated 29th October 🤔
@@Monkeemagik similar delays here. Ordered mine December 2020, expected July this year 2021. Not enough being made compared to the interest it has had
Hi Nick,i got my 2021 CLA 250 4 matic premium package,technology package,navigation package,polar white with night package and genuine leather classic black and red sport seats and i love it.Greetings from Mtl,Qc,Canada!
Oh wow sounds amazing! Loads of gadgets! 👌🏼🤓
Lucky enough to own cla35. Best car I’ve ever had. Love it!
Awesome Tony! Yeah I’d love one of those! 👌🏼
@@npoleary keep up the good work mate. Really enjoy your videos. I don’t know how I could better my car. Maybe the upcoming C45?😉
Maybe 👀
Nick have you Done a review on the 2020 C class facelift ? There are really good offers thinking of buying one , All the reviews seem to be on European or American specification cars
Hey Mark, sorry no I haven’t specially done one on that model.
I did do a basics of your Mercedes video which was done in a C-Class though :)
Just bought my cla 45 shooting brake, can't wait to pick it up on Wednesday.
Oh awesome! Bet you’re excited!
I also get my CLA SB on Wednesday morning!
@@mazrashid6549 which cl you get mate.
@@boomshackalacka9058 I went for the CLA180 Premium Plus digital white with the black/red interior. The 35 or 45 would have been amazing but out of my league. I know a few guys who work at our local dealership and they got me a hell of a deal. Anyways this is our first "nice" car so me and the wife are over the moon!
Enjoy your new car in good health mate!
@@mazrashid6549 hope you got your car and no issues mate.
Enjoy and hope its everything you expected.
Got my cla 45 shooting brake yesterday and I am over the moon absolutely love the machine.
I have had 135i BMW and other hi end sports cars but got to say this is amazing and practical.
Awesome 😎
Thanks 🤗
I like CLA Shooting Brake :-)
Great video Nick. I was in the market for a cla shooting break aa I just love how it looks but ended up booking a glb 200.
Still feel the cla is the best looking merc one can buy for under £60k.
Thank you! Ooo very nice! I’m sure you’ll love it!
Great video, can you do the CLA Amg 45. Keep it up, thanks
Thanks K Chino, that’s a rare one that one! I still haven’t seen one yet 😕
If I do, of course!
@@npoleary Happy to bring my 71 plate down if you wanted to do an overview for half a day
Thanks for the offer Medusarecoil! I’ll keep that in mind! 🤓
Thanks for your reply. Is that blue Mercedes Cla a hybrid amg line ?
Hey Vester Vester, no the CLA in this one was a CLA 180 or CLA 200 with a petrol engine 🤓
Hello! great video. What color is that CLA35?
Denim Blue Metallic is the one on the thumbnail 🤓
Great video you absolute legend, gonna reply to this comment when I get it hopefully before uni starts :)
Thank you USN! Glad you enjoyed it!
Ooo awesome! I’ll keep an eye out!
Hi nick you always make good and helpful videos thanks for that
I have question about s kalasse 2019 can possible mobile gallery show in command display ?
Thank you Bilal!
Is that the photos on your phone? Mmm I guess the only way of doing that is to put the photos on a memory stick and then you’ll be able to plug it in and view it that way.
Unfortunately no way to do it directly off of the phone
@@npoleary
Thanks you very much
No problem!
is this the denim blue ? looks so different in this video..
cla is a great car
Yeah that’s right! 🤓
Denim Blue is an awesome colour! Very rare!
Hey nick, is it true that they removed the ambient lights In the headrests of the cla after dec 2020?
Hi Attack Artist, yes I think so. Some specs were changed last year as part of a yearly spec change.
If you wanted to know exact specifics, your local Mercedes can advise on those details as things can change over time.
can you make a video between the cla coupe plug-in hybrid and the normal coupe petrol what are the difference
Hey Vency,
Sadly haven’t managed to get my hands on one but basically one has hybrid technology with the ability to run on electric with an engine as well and the other is just an engine on it’s own.
I’d love to make a video if I get my hands on one!
Hi Nick, I got my CLA 250e two weeks ago. I'm pretty satisfied with it. However, I have back pains when driving it. I have tried all the seats positions but nothing works. Have you (or other clients) ever experienced the same thing? Do you have any advice for me? ( I have never had back pain while driving before).
Thanks in advance.
Hey, I haven’t heard of anyone having back pains. Mercedes-Benz seats are renowned for being super comfortable on long drives.
Do you have lumbar adjustment on there?
@@npoleary Hi, Thank you for your swift reply. Yes I do have lumbar adjustment, however after trying different angles, the back pains are still there. I guess it's an isolated issue
Honestly what I would do is just set your seat to something really random, like really far backward and reset the lumbar and then hop back in and kind of adjust it again.
Hopefully you’ll get it into a slightly different position. Don’t forget the support under the legs as well and the seat extender bit! I’m sure one of the bits will help!
Hi Nick, maybe you could do a basic comparison video of every class? Many people can't differentiate between each model, there are so many classes ! Like what makes S class an S, how to recognize C class, whats the difference between S and E and so forth :)
Hey DarthLai,
I’ve thought about that but there are so many models and unfortunately not one dealership will have every model on their premises to see and film at the same time.
I’m still keeping on my list to potentially film but a tricky one to do!
@@npoleary makes sense, maybe there will be a larger delivery some day. cheers !
Hi Nick, I have got CLA premium plus night edition, Do they come with memory seats and wireless charger ??? Because I ain’t got one
It depends on the specification, best people to answer that would be your local Mercedes dealership, they’ll be able to let you know for sure 🤓
I haven’t seen electric seats or wireless charging for a while so I don’t think so
Awesome you’ve got a CLA though! I would love one myself! 👀
Can I leave the Apple Carplay connector plugged in to the car all the time, or does that drain the battery?
No you can leave it plugged in :)
The power turns off after a short while but comes back on when the car is unlocked / ignition is switched on
Good vid thanks nick love our cla200 just a question do you need a special lead to plug the phone in to bring up on the sceen or do you use the charger cord thanks again
Hey Mark, no just the one that comes with your phone. Depending on your make of phone, you may need a dongle like this: bit.ly/USB-CtoUSB
Also double check your CLA 200 has Smartphone Integration to do Apple CarPlay or Android Auto 🤓
Thanks nick
I have that cable and have set up both phones one question how do you add apps i can't seem to get the youtub to listen to TH-cam music
Hey Mark, depends on what you’re using
On MBUX you cannot add any apps to the system, this facility doesn’t exist.
However if you’re using Apple CarPlay, any apps that are compatible will appear automatically.
@@npoleary thanks nick i have mbux and running Android auto my phone will show TH-cam but the wife's wont
Hey Mark, thanks for replying. Android Auto is exactly the same, it runs off of your phone. A quick search on Google I can see it’s a known issue with Androids.
I don’t own one myself so won’t be able to advise but the issue lies with the phone’s software.
Hi Nick
Confused, on the brochure officially as far as I can tell the coupe’s rear seats cannot be folded?
ie if you refer to the technical info, boot capacity with seats up/ down is shown for the A class saloon, CLA shooting brake but there’s no measurements for seats down on the coupe?
Oh that’s strange
I mean you’ve always been able to fold the seats down. Don’t think that’s changed?
@@npoleary
Thanks Nick
Yes I’ve since found out it’s foldable but bizarrely they didn’t include it on the coupe boot/ seats down (guess someone was having a lazy day) 🤣🤣
Cheers!!
hi Nick another great video, i've just taken delivery of my new cla premium plus could i ask you question have they done away with the ambient lighting in the headrests on the 2021 model ? ive emailed MB but no reply yet, thanks x
I have the cla premium plus and can confirm it has the lights in the front and back headrests. 🙂
@@gamereviewsoldskoolgamer9718 thanks, is it the 2021 model? I think they have been removed
@@dvd2156 Mine was June 2020 collection so can't see them removing it. You can only see them at night and I have my settings brightness to max. Do you still have all the lights in the doors and footwells? Could be a broken connection or something definitely get it checked.
@@gamereviewsoldskoolgamer9718 thanks for the reply I appreciate it, I’ve tried them on full brightness & different colours but there not on, I asked on a cla forum and they think they were removed on the 2021 models, just wanted to find out for sure before booking it in
@@dvd2156 I'm sorry to hear that, I'm really confused why it would be removed when I think it looks amazing. If this is true I'm very disappointed.
Great video Nick, how come the wait is so long on the CLA250e.... I have to wait till January 2022?
They have been really popular, that does seem like a long time but if that’s what’s been advised by the factory then I guess that’s right
Where are you based Gavin? Hard to tell on here in the comments! 😅
@@npoleary based in the Midlands... Car is ordered through a lease company for work...
Mmm seems like a long time but if that’s how long it takes...
They’re an awesome car though 🤓
I would absolutely love one!
@@npoleary it is a long time... Super excited to get it though....
@@gavinbellizzi2881 Hey Gavin, I'm Midlands based and also getting it through my work. I put in an order last November, and it's due in July. Your request seems about the norm. The supply cannot meet the demand it seems
My 250e Shooting Brake will arrive.... around July... if I'm lucky. :-\
Do you know, Nick, if the smartphone integration is likely to go wireless someday... with a software update maybe?
Hey Sanaliekki,
That’s cool, it’ll be worth the wait!
Unfortunately I don’t think so, upgrades to hardware will usually happen at facelifts or new model launches so I don’t think it’ll happen for a while.
Nick l bought a cla 180 shooting brake but in the Apps it doesn’t have
The dash cam motif.
Can l upgrade to have it put on by Mercedes. ?
Really sorry I won’t be able to assist with exact specifics as to why you might not have it yet.
It can be for a number of reasons such as the equipment in your Mercedes, it may not have had a software update yet or it genuinely may not be available where you live.
Best thing to do is speak with the Mercedes me team and they may be able to point you in the right direction. You can get them on the Mercedes me app, top left and then press help.
Nick do you know why Apple CarPlay doesn’t taket he whole screen real estate on offer?
Hey fm carv,
This is the way it’s been designed unfortunately. I wish it was full screen too but it’s been like it since it’s launch in 2018.
Fingers crossed for the future though!
High Nick I have a CLA 220 Petrol whats my engine capacity
Hey Phillip,
Depends when it was made in the factory, but to narrow it down:
If it’s the previous shape CLA, it’ll be 1,991 cc, 4-cylinder, 184 hp
If it’s the new shape CLA, it launched with a 220 variant but is now no longer produced in the UK. But it’s 1,991 cc, 4-cylinder, 190hp.
Hope that helps!
When will the 250e shooting brake be available? I’ve been told October!
Hey David, sorry I don’t have access to lead times :(
That does seem like a long time to wait but if that’s what’s been advised then I guess that’s right.
I haven’t actually seen one yet (seen the coupe not the 250e S/B)
I’m sure you wouldn’t be disappointed when you do get it!
@@npoleary thanks the reply Nick. 😄
No problem 🤓
I was told early September for mine but ordered over a month ago.
Hello Nick, can I order a CLA with open Star in the grill just like the one in my MB 180 b classe 2016?
Hey Rick, unfortunately no the CLA’s come with slightly different stars now, mainly due to aerodynamics but depending on the specification it may also house some radar systems.
@@npoleary Well thanks for the info... me myself I like the old one the most because of the perspective but it's not a serious problem. Btw, the new A sedan is really stunning, Rick from Holland*
Why is there such a large distance between the wheels and the rear fender in Cla e hybrid AMG Line ?
Hi Vester Vester,
Honestly not sure but I'm pretty certain it's been done on purpose. Maybe something to do with the lithium-ion battery in the rear?
Great video thank you. Are you going to do a review of the B Class at all? Just recently got one and its top drawer. I like to think of it as an A Class for the taller person who needs extra luggage space as well. Its an overlooked model in my opinion
Absolutely! Yes I will be covering the B-Class somewhen! There’s a couple of interesting models just around the corner that I’m prepping for but yes I will do!
@@npoleary That would be excellent. Thankyou 🙂
I ordered a cla coupe 200 . Anything i should add to the car ?
Ooo very nice! Just keep an eye out for things like Executive, or Premium or Premium Plus as those add gadgets to the car. So they’ll contain things like keyless entry or a sunroof or even things like larger screens 🤓
Wow! Another great video, Nick! 🙂
What I said about the A-Class carries over to the CLA, but I have something to add with regards to the CLA alone. The CLA is truly a car that kept this dying segment alive and running for a little longer. The 4-door Coupé was a very popular segment back in the early 2000s thanks to the likes of the CLA and the CLS. Now it is not as popular, but the CLA is still one of the few cars that are still known and bought - more so than the CLS when considering profit margins. The CLA is doing much better. The CLA Shooting Brake does do the same for the Shooting Brake segment.
Very lovely cars. 🙂
Hey, I was wondering if you may please do a video going in-depth on the new S-Class' head-up display...and please compare it to the head-up display that, say, the new GLS has. It is excellent, and more people need to know about it. Thank you, Nick. 🙂
Thanks Lightning Farron! Agreed, the CLA is an awesome car and definitely looks the part!
Ooo I’d love to showcase the Augmented Reality Head Up Display! However I need to get my hands on a car that’s registered with number plates, like a demo or something. The actual car in the S-Class video I filmed actually sold while I was filming so I didn’t get the chance :(
Hi nick I'm having a issue with my mbux system the driver side where the speedometer and fuel information is completely off the entertainment screen is fine, have you come across this issue before, I can't drive the car because I don't know what speeds I'm doing and makes it illegal to drive
The instrument cluster? That's not good :( That screen should always been on as there's no option to turn this on or off.
I'd speak with your local dealership asap and get that looked at.
Hope you get it sorted soon!
@@npoleary OK I'm waiting on you looks like I will be catching a uber to work for the next few days
Hey Mustafa, give them a call and get your car booked in (should only take a couple of minutes). I'm sure they can get to the bottom of it.
@@npoleary already done its a software issue they said Gona get it booked in
The best car ever ever god bless me and give me one
Does anyone else have a problem with their diesel CLA where the fuel economy all of a sudden drops drastically by like 20-25 mpg (even on a motorway run) and at the end of the journey, the engine fan is running on full? I've had my CLA for 3 months and it's happened at least a dozen times. I am mainly a long distance motorway driver so I don't think it's the short journey blocking the DPF syndrone
1:26: length, width and height are all 4,695mm??
Thanks Maarten Boelens for pointing it out! I've left a pinned comment at the top with the correct dimensions! Whoops!
Correct dimensions are as follows:
For the Coupe & Shooting Brake =
Length - 4,695mm
Width - 1,999mm
Height - 1,430mm
When it comes to engine spec why is the A220 petrol engine always being left out ? are Mercedes dropping this engine soon or what every reviewer has always skip it
Hi AI,
The A220 petrol hasn’t been available since December 2019. Not that there was anything wrong with, it was really good.
My guess is that Mercedes-Benz have just simplified the engines for sale. Currently Petrol engines in the line up are:
A 180
A 200
A 250
A 250e (Plug-in Hybrid)
A 35
A 45 S
Can you please rectify one thing for me does the coupe get electric tailgate at all or not? And what is the best way to close the boot lid as I’ve tried it before and I had trouble closing it
Coupe’s on CLA Mercedes models in the UK are electrically releasing but swing up.
To close them you just pull them down 🤓
@@npoleary okay so is the handle in the boot user friendly or not?
User Friendly? There’s just a small section where your hand can go and you just pull it down
Or just grab the boot on the paintwork and pull it down. It’s not heavy or anything like that.
The Shooting Brake on the other hand is electrically operated 🤓
@@npoleary has the coupe tailgate got springs in it to adjust the heaviness of the boot?
I know it has springs because you can see them as it closes but I wouldn’t know if it’s adjustable you’ll have to get in touch with Mercedes for that one!
Im getting my new CLA 250 EQ tomorrow :) AMG stail 19"
Ooo very nice! Bet you’re excited!
Great video Nick. Just need to add one chapter for Price at the end between Engines and Ending :)
Hey Pritesh,
I purposely haven’t done that because I have viewers from all the way round the world :)
Annoying it can be different!
Plus specification and pricing can change over time anyway so I just focus on the product itself 🤓
Can anyone help me, I have Mercedes 180d 2018, how do i go about getting android auto fitted into the car, as it currently doesn't have it?
Hey August Minega,
Is your A-Class the new shape one? It launched in the summer 2018 and has MBUX. If it is, you can buy this from the Mercedes me store and download it to the car.
If it’s the previous shape unfortunately it’s not something I can advise on as I have never attempted this. I also don’t think Mercedes-Benz dealerships have the ability to do this either.
I have heard of aftermarket solutions before but you’ll have to go careful as the multimedia system runs quite a few things in the car and swapping it out with something else could cause problems.
@@npolearyHi Nick, Thank you very much.
It’s hard to believe that we are still having to plug in our phone to use CarPlay ? But i never use CarPlay in my A class MBUX does everything and looks better
Hey Mark, I know wireless CarPlay would be good however believe it or not there aren’t many manufacturers out there that have it yet. It is growing definitely...and I can’t wait for them all to have it!
The S-Class that has just launched features a new version of MBUX that supports wireless Apple CarPlay! A first in a Mercedes...future models will hopefully get this too! I’ve got my fingers crossed 🤞🏼
Thanks for another great video. After watching it, I think that (when its appropriate for me to buy) I will go for the A-Class 250e instead of the CLA 250e. Reason: CLA differences are more stylish, but ultimately less useful. Examples:
- CLA has pillarless windows. More stylish but more fragile. Loses to A-class.
- CLA has unajustable headrests. More stylish but honestly they look super uncomfortable and maybe could even be a pain in the neck in the long term. A-Class wins with movable headrests.
- CLA has bonnet grooves, slightly different headlights & slightly curvier body in the back, with slightly bigger boot. Looks awesome, no disadvantages. CLA Wins here, but previous points end up being more important for day-to-day which makes the A-Class the final choice overall.
A-Class 250e Saloon AMG it is! (with all the bells & whistles of course, haha).
Excellent comparison Bulaxa! They do look almost identical but you’ll find there are subtle and slight differences like those that differentiate between the two. I wouldn’t my mind either to be honest! 😅
@@npoleary That's Very diplomatic Nick! 😂. I like it👍
I genuinely wouldn’t mind either haha
You honestly wouldn’t be able to tell the difference in how they drive 😅
Anyone having problems connecting android auto with the CLA 2021?
Not had any issues with android auto or caraway on my CLA, what are you experiencing? Sometimes the problem can actually be the phone not the car itself.
2 things i dont get: why ...WHY would you want piano black plastic in a car, it is the worst, collects dust scratches and fingerprints like crazy.
Also why would you pay extra for the CLA200 when a CLA180 can easily be tuned to around 170bhp same with the cla200 since im guessing its just the same engine with a different software.
I'd go for the shooting brake by the way, something cool about saying you own a shooting brake.
Looks like they downgraded the spec of the CLA Premium Plus, no heads up display, premium sound system, auto tailgate or wireless charging. My car, ordered last year, will not have these, but, of course, Mercedes haven't downgraded the price. Now there is a surprise!
Hi Jeff, yes so I’ve heard there are some models being affected by the semi-conductor shortage as cars do feature a lot of them.
If you’ve got any questions though, if you speak with your dealership who’s looking after you, I’m sure they’ll do their best to help out and let you know the options available.
I do like your videos but asking a car to turn on heating seats then turning them off is 1/10th of the time is surely technology just for the sake of it.
Just one example Digital Junior! :)
There’s hundreds of commands you can ask a car voice assistant some of which are faster than navigating through menus etc
@@npoleary I know sorry. Just flustered with new technology in cars at my age. Now I can afford a Porsche or Merc AMG I can’t use the bloody things! 😀
Ah you’ll be alright :)
As with anything just takes a little time to learn and then you’ll become a master!
I have a red Mercedes car😂😂🤗🤗
Rc car
Still can’t believe Mercedes doesn’t allow tethering to your phone and force you to use Vodafone with their extortionate rates for data. Really disappointing.
Hey D3383,
Remember there are only a couple of things on MBUX that would make use of the internet through Vodafone. This is Tidal Music and the browser in the car.
The main feature of internet in the car is like a router to send internet to your passengers devices. There isn’t anything else on the car that would make use of internet in this way so this is why you can’t tether your phone.
Just another car from the past...
