Mercedes-Benz CLA facelift: Different choices

After 3 years of launching, pioneering the establishment of the small 4-door sports Coupé segment in the Vietnamese market, the Mercedes CLA model has just been upgraded with all 3 versions CLA 200, CLA 250 and Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 4MATIC, continuing to be a "different" choice in the small luxury sedan segment.

Different design

Few modern luxury cars showcase as many bold curves in their design as the CLA. The first curve curves from front to back, creating a coupé-shaped door profile.

The second curve extends from the rear wheel wells to the LED surrounds of the headlights, creating the impression that the car is ‘galloping’ forward. The third curve starts from the taillights to the B-pillar, creating a strong ‘shoulder’. This curve also helps the C-pillar ‘drop’ gracefully behind. The embossed surfaces between the curves create depth on the body and beautiful lighting effects when moving.

3 versions CLA 200, CLA 250 and Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 4MATIC.

The rear of the car is designed to emphasize the width, the luggage compartment lid is shaped very sexy. The taillights are the perfect connection between the curves on the body and the square rear bumper. Accentuating these curves are the high-tech full LED headlights and the taillights with a beautiful crane wing design. All together create a sexy and bold "I am different", unmistakable with any other car model.

Different from features and amenities

In addition to the improved exterior, the CLA also adds many amenities and features. The 8-inch TFT central screen with tablet design not only displays information clearly but also breathes modernity into the interior. The AMBIENT LIGHTING interior lighting system appears for the first time on the CLA with 12 colors that can be customized in brightness.

The driver can experience the different personalities of the car through the DYNAMIC SELECT control cluster with 4 operating modes 'Comfort', 'Sport', 'Individual' and 'Eco'. The card reader for the GPS navigation system is a standard equipment, making it convenient for customers to upgrade when needed.

Extremely beautiful sports seats.

In terms of safety technology, the new CLA is equipped with the COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST PLUS (CPA Plus) collision prevention support system, which actively prevents or minimizes the consequences of a collision with the vehicle in front thanks to the automatic deceleration support function. The rear camera and automatic parking support system make observing and parking on the CLA easier than ever.

Not only possessing a charming appearance and many amenities, CLA is also the champion in terms of aerodynamics and economy in the segment. With a drag coefficient of Cd = 0.23, CLA is one of the cars with the best aerodynamic design in the world today. The two versions CLA 200 and CLA 250 are also very fuel-efficient with a consumption of only about 6 liters/100 km.

Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 4MATIC: The distinctive strength of the segment

In the upgraded version, the Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 4MATIC is still the commercial vehicle with the most powerful 4-cylinder engine in the world. 381 horsepower and 475 Nm torque from 2,250 rpm are unbelievable numbers from the 2.0L engine of Mercedes-AMG.

The Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 4MATIC's 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 4.2 seconds is close to that of many super sports cars. The 4MATIC all-wheel drive system helps the car grip the road better and transmit engine power to the road most effectively. The sports suspension is lowered by 15 mm at the front and 10 mm at the rear, making the car more stable at high speeds.

Outside, the excitement of the driver and passengers will be pushed to the maximum with the resonant, steely and warm sound of the AMG high-performance exhaust system. Inside, the 12-speaker, 450-watt Harman Kardon® Logic 7® surround sound system delivers the most realistic and vivid audiophile experience.

CLA is sold in the market with 8 exterior paint colors and 3 interior options. The selling prices of the 3 versions CLA 200, CLA 250 and Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 4MATIC are 1,529, 1,869 and 2,329 billion VND respectively (including VAT).
