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.

I don't understand why people are complaining about merc offering loads of classes. As a consumer its better to have more options.
I always loved the sleek look of the cla with the coupe style back
4:07 That CLA 250 is 🔥
Fantastic Mercedes CLA! Great review about a superstar!
Great review! TQ !
I like it, looks stylish
i am thinking hard to get this. but i need to loose some weight first lool. it looks bit tight for a tall and big guy how does it compare to a class on driving seat size? and how long does is take to order ?
Beautiful interior...🙂
BEAUTIFUL LOOKING CLA
Very nice Mercedes-Benz 👌😁
Looks better than the CLS
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.
@@burak3924 People have different opinions and the CLA is longer than the C Class so it's not "tiny." Do you even own a Benz? lol
Vatan it’s literally the same size as a c class with a bigger boot. Cls was ugly af
Too bad the CLS is only 4 seats. Major put off for me as I want it to be my daily driver and also be able to take my family out in my car instead of older 7 seat Chevy SUV :
Jay K cls is 5 seats....
Hey, in the UK they don’t offer the adaptive suspension only on the amgs. Is this required as some reviewers say you need it? It’s put me off buying one as UK market get no options like no 4matic (250), adaptive damping, 19 inch alloys
Yea in Europe we get way more options
It’s a mini CLS class , yet I like it.
Takamusasu zamknij tk
It the size of old C class... if you get 4 wd with amg one there are not reason to buy CLS which had a A class front light..
Somehow they managed to make the cla look better than the cls 😱😱
The rear looks better than the cls. But the longer hood on the cls looks better
how much is it?
My dream car cla
Did I just hear Nissan qashqai???
😂😂😂😂🤦🏾♂️
Him alie humbug tulip x
@@Leo_Vasileio wine hoodoo john doesn't turn

No, they built that 1.4-liter engine together, in the new joint department.
Anyone know where that bridge over the water with the mountains in the background at the end of the video is?
The netherlands
@@sunrise7236 cheers
W BMW M850i też można uzyskać efekt strzelania z wydechu - silnik w sport plus, skrzynia w sport :)
Why do all car reviewers say this cars rear headroom isn't the best. The people who review this car are giants (compared to me anyway. I'm 5 foot 7)
is this guy is from bmw or what??
didn't like the rear lights. previous generation was more sensuous
I thought they cone with 18 inch wheels
The prize differences on cars are crazy. The same model could differ 70% between countries. Goes to show how cheap these manufacturers can actually sell their cars for and still make a buck. Expensive countries are paying for most of those cheap countries.
Is this car out in the uk ?
Eat right Always yep ordering one on Monday
@@ralphthebulldog5163 are the seats comfortable I have a bad back and would like to know
Front light my dealer let me test drive it from a Thursday to Sunday, I didn’t have a problem nor did my wife and she suffers with a bad back, get a 48hr test drive if you can 👍🏽
What colour combination is that interior? It's not the pearl grey is it?
Akash Patel its the Artico in Black/Neva Grey
we have bought two today in the Czech rep. We need to wait 8 montsh for delivery :/
Why did you buy it today then? You should've just bought after 8 to 10 months.
uf tak to si počkate. tak daj vedieť potom :) či začnem šetriť na vymenim moju staršiu cla.. :) ale som zvedavy na tie 45tky
@@DjVojto příští měsíc máme předání konečně tak se určitě ozvu :) 45 budou pecka, ale osobně kdybych chtěl pálit peníze za benzín tak bych šel do A45 amg, myslím, že to bude top !
@@santimkankaria everyone must wait no matter when you order :)
@@filipsokol346 Really for 8 to 10 months . ? Should have bought another car to save interest loss.
I’m a short guy (5.5”) and CLA is perfect size for me.
No you should get a smart car lol
Fay Ahmad 😂😂
@@fayahmad9063 😂
what are the differences between the numbers? cla 220, cla 220d, cla 250, cla 200
Phillip Stanley different models
250 is the only one made in germany the smaller variants are technically nissan engines
Maybe they should have just made this a real Coupe and Cabrio
I don’t think you get keyless go as standard, nor the 10.25 screen. I think that’s just for the premium and above
it's standard
Nope its not anymore now in the premium plus
3:34 GT2RS spotted
That's a GT3 RS ;-)
@@Autoexpress I don't want to be that guy but I'm pretty sure it is a GT2RS. The GT2RS Weissach Pack has the two stripes on the roof and a black platic bumper. The GT3RS with weissach has the full carbon roof and fully painted rear bumper ;-)
Like it.
Are you telling me that they took an engine from a Nissan qashqai and put it in a Mercedes CLA ?
So refine the engines themselves?
This or face lift C Class with AMG pack?
Robert Iloski c class
C class is above cla
AMG BOYZ yeh that's what I was thinking too! The facelift C class is a mix of old and new Mercedes... But I still love the classic looking interior with the dark wood grain etc. Will wait to see the CLA in person before I decide I think 👍
AMG BOYZ how is it not if the c class is more expensive than the cla ?
@@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.
So the CLA 200 has a Nissan engine? 🤔
Diego Rodrigues Which also means a Renault engine 🙃
Nissan qashqai engine in a Mercedes???
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
Different car
I ordered de A-Class sedan.
P McKenna why
P McKenna ah
P McKenna 🤣🤣🤣
What is the point of this car when you already have the hatchback?
@The Truth I know. If people want sedan, why not just get a C Class?
@The Truth well said
Choice.... And allocation. MB try to fill the market as much as possible..
A class sedan, CLA and C-Class... am I the only one who doesn't see the point in three compact sedans that are only slightly different?
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.
Yes 😂

Top interior quality ? I don’t think so. Some plastics like the armrests are very cheap
👌🏾
Eh? petroww?
CLA “Hey, can I borrow your headlights?
A35 “Yeah, just change it up a bit so it’s not obvious you copied.”
CLA “Sure.”
Launched in 2014 not 2013...
It has the same interior as my A Class and to say the interior build quality is 2nd to none is laughable - those air vents are cheap as chips and rattle like mad as well as rattles and squeaks from the steering column and also from those ipad displays - the steering wheel buttons also do not have the quality feel of an Audi either!!
On my A class the wind noise round the back of the car is almost like having a force 10 gale blowing in the back of the car with you!!
I think you need to bring your car back to the dealer, i also have the new A class and mine has none of the problems you mentioned. The steering wheel buttons might not have the quality feel of an Audi A8 but they definitely beat the A3's interior by a long way.
I dont know why they make the inside of these so cheap compared to the C-class
Cuz its an a class
It a cheaper car....
It is completely shameless how Mercedes is basically offering the same car in different sizes. What differentiates this from the CLS other than size and price? I bet anyone who bought the CLS must be mad.
Sandouras size and price are huge differentiators...
What kind of idiotic question is that? That's like saying what differentiates the S and the C class...
@@Personal_Comp Yeah exactly. The C and S look exactly the same. At least i can tell a 3 from a 7 series apart.
@The Truth Except they basically shrinked the CLS and made this. It looks EXACTLY the same.
I would be
CLA with a Nissan Quasqai engine? No thx.
Was ist das nehste Schrott nur neue Licht und Rest ist Schrott 😂😂😂😂😂
Renault engine tho!
Am I the only one that doesn't like those sport seats?
They just don't fit in a mercedes...my opinion though
Still no EV version.
Frank O'Moore still no problem.
German car with French engine? No thanks
@The Truth The 1.3L petrol is manufactured by who exactly?
Yawn
