    Mercedes CLA full review: aex.ae/2KN8GdV
    The Mercedes CLA first arrived in 2013, immediately cementing its place as the A-Class’s cooler cousin. But the original wasn’t without its flaws - so instead of producing another rebodied hatch, the German firm has made some bigger changes to the CLA this time around.

      No it doesn't. The CLS is longer, has a higher wheelbase and looks more agressive in general. This CLA is just a tiny Mercedes. Not even close to the flagship cars of Mercedes.

      @@robertiloski2107 I litterally had to make that same decision. A 2019 Mercedes C 180 Business solution AMG Upgrade or 2019 CLA 200 business solution AMG upgrade. I have taken the cla because believe it or not the ride is softer in the CLA because even though they are both AMG upgrade, the C class comes with a stiff sport suspension and cla with lowered comfort suspension. I was shook about how stiff it was around town. And the new interior in the CLA made the car so beautifull inside. Test drive both and see what you like best.

      Renault engines in every model below the 200s? Yes for many years now! As bad as Renault sounds they built great long lasting engines while mercedes optimized it to get Power out of it. Id love to have pure Merc engines in there aswell but its better then saying "sure were gonna build our own but its gonna be crappy" instead of asking for "help". But thats still the reason im never gonna buy a merc below the 220 diesels

      Blitz the c class is completely different, with a different platform and different interior, it's RWD ( with optional rear biased awd) compared to FWD ( with optional front biased awd) and thus has different driving dynamics.
      The main difference between the cla and the a class being the sportier look and driving , but they share the exact same engines, interiors and wheelbase.
