The 2017 Mercedes-Benz CLA starts at 1.5 billion VND in Vietnam.
Mercedes-Benz has introduced three upgraded CLA models to the Vietnamese market: the CLA 200 priced at 1.529 billion VND, the CLA 250 priced at 1.869 billion VND, and the CLA 250 priced at 2.329 billion VND.
The Mercedes-Benz CLA Class is a compact sports sedan, the younger sibling of the C-Class. This model has been available in the Vietnamese market since 2014 and has achieved considerable success thanks to its lower price compared to its larger counterparts.
The car's youthful design appeals to successful young people. This is a promising segment given the growing number of wealthy young people in Vietnam.

Over the next three years, Mercedes continued to introduce upgraded versions of the CLA with three variants: CLA 200, CLA 250, and Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 4MATIC.
The CLA is considered a smaller version of its sibling, the CLS, a pioneering model in the "four-door coupe" segment.
The CLA's exterior is a combination of soft, flowing curves that extend from the front to the rear trunk, creating a coupe-like shape. A second curve runs from the rear wheel arch to the LED trim of the front headlights. A third curve originates from the taillights to the B-pillar, giving the car a low, sporty profile.

Inside, you get the feeling of sitting in an SLK sports car rather than a C-Class sedan.
The frameless top section of the front doors, similar to those on two-door sports cars, is a detail that particularly impresses CLA drivers.
The CLA 200 uses a 1.6-liter I4 engine, producing 156 horsepower and 250 Nm of torque, accelerating from 0-100 km/h in 8.2 seconds, with an average fuel consumption of 5.5 - 5.7 liters/100 km. This version is priced at 1,529,000,000 VND.

The CLA 250 uses a 2.0-liter I4 engine, producing 211 horsepower and 350 Nm of torque, with a fuel consumption of 6.4 - 6.6 liters/100 km. The price is 1,869,000,000 VND.
The top-of-the-line model in the trio is the CLA 45 AMG 4Matic, powered by a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine producing a maximum power of 381 horsepower and 475 Nm of torque at 2,250 rpm. This version accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 4.2 seconds, approaching the speed of supercars.
Mercedes claims this is the world's most powerful 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The CLA 45 AMG is equipped with a Harman Kardon Logic 7 surround sound system, featuring 12 speakers and 450 watts of power. The car is priced at 2.329 billion VND in Vietnam.
