Which is building prestigious cars. A model that has a wonderful appearance and it seems that there is a lot of power under its hood - this Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class 2018-2019. How good is he? Let's figure it out!
Initially, the company showed the world the concept of this car in 2012, the presentation was first at the Museum of Modern Art, and then during the year the model was shown to the public at various car dealerships around the world.
In the future, a version of the car that will be sold worldwide was shown in 2013 at the famous Detroit Auto Show. As a result, people noticed that this model is a little modified from more big car.
Exterior
It is unlikely that anyone will say that this car is not beautiful, of course, everyone has different tastes, but most likely not in this case. The model looks just gorgeous despite the fact that its size is not that big. The front part has an aggressive embossed hood, a chic radiator grille with large logo and chrome dots. Also, it will not go unnoticed LED optics. Massive aerodynamic bumper received large air intakes for the brakes and a plastic jumper at the bottom.
The profile of the Mercedes-Benz SLA-Class sedan received deep stampings at the top and bottom. slightly bloated wheel arches also look good. In addition, the rear-view mirror looks cool, in terms of practicality it is convenient, and in terms of appearance it is also not bad, as it is completely covered with polished metal.
The rear part has a small trunk lid, which forms a spoiler on the edge. Aggressive LED optics looks gorgeous. The massive bumper received a plastic lining in the lower part, into which the exhaust pipes are inserted. By the way, the back of the model is very similar.
sedan dimensions:
- length - 4640 mm;
- width - 1777 mm;
- height - 1432 mm;
- wheelbase- 2699 mm.
There is also a station wagon, but it is only 3 millimeters higher, and in other planes it has not changed.
Specifications
Now in our country only two engine options are offered, while in other countries there are many more.
- The first engine is a 1.6 turbocharged petrol that produces 150 Horse power. Such power allows the sedan to gain the first hundred in 8 seconds, and the maximum speed will be 230 km / h. Uses Mercedes-Benz engine CLA-Class 2018-2019 is not so much fuel, it needs some 7 liters per hundred kilometers in the city, on the highway, respectively, even less.
- The second unit also received a turbocharger, but now its volume has increased to 2 liters, and its power is up to 211 horsepower. As a result, we get improved dynamic performance - this is 6.5 to the first hundred and 240 km / h top speed. Consumption is greater than that of the first engine by 1.5 liters.
Both units received a start-stop system, which perfectly saves fuel in the city. Previously, it was possible to take a motor, both with a mechanical and with a preselective robot. Now you can only take the 7-speed robot. Also, all-wheel drive versions running on the 4Matic system were available before restyling, and now the car is offered only with front-wheel drive in basic configuration and with all-wheel drive in the top.
Suspension
The running gear is traditionally the well-known MacPherson strut in front and a system of 4 levers in the rear. Suspension is fully independent, but for our roads a little harsh. It was tuned in order to not only achieve good handling, but also to reduce noise in the cabin. This is achieved through the use of elastic mounts, elastic coating on the springs and rubber bearings. By car only disc brakes, and only the front ones received ventilation.
All Mercedes-Benz SLA-Class power units are turbocharged and there have been no complaints about their reliability. So if you are planning to buy this car for yourself, then you can be sure of its reliability.
There is even more powerful engine For this car, this is because it is from the tuning studio of the company and the car with this engine has a name, but we talk about it separately.
Interior
Inside the car is made in all best traditions company, it is made beautifully and tastefully. The driver's and passenger seats went to the car from another model on whose base it was built - this is.
The steering wheel is the same three-spoke with controls for the audio system. Behind the wheel are two speedometer and tachometer sensors beautifully recessed inside the dashboard.
On the center console of the Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class 2018-2019, there is a display on top multimedia system, but it is not mounted beautifully and it seems that this is an ordinary tablet, owner-installed. This display displays data not only multimedia, but also navigation and the entire car. There are 3 air deflectors under the display, which have an aggressive look, as they are slightly made in the style of aircraft turbines. Under the deflectors are multimedia control buttons (despite the fact that the display is touch-sensitive), climate control buttons and keys for other car functions.
The car has an armrest, under which there is a fairly roomy niche for small things. Near the armrest there are two cup holders, which are connected into one niche, and next to them there is a multimedia control washer.
In general, the interior of the Mercedes-Benz SLA-Class is quite beautiful and comfortable, but not for rear passengers, but for a small city trip on back seat passengers will be comfortable.

Mercedes CLA cars have been popular, like all their brethren, from the very moment they were first presented to the public. However this series products due to recent updates has changed significantly, which is especially strongly reflected in the cost of this vehicle.
Every Mercedes with a CLA Class in 2019 has enough a large number of unique features, With complete list which you can see by watching the corresponding video test drive. special attention, at the same time, deserve an element, due to which the price of vehicle.
As is the case with most of the Mercedes cars, the CLA-Class is divided into several cars at once, which, in turn, have unique technical characteristics and a corresponding price for power and equipment. IN this case, the entire KLA-Class is represented by two body modifications.
Please note that each model belonging to a particular list of equipment, but in addition having the postscript " Special Series' is the extended version. Such Mercedes SLA cars can only be those that have an increased cost and equipment.
Total manufacturer mercedes benz The CLA class produced two relatively different body modifications:
- CLA Coupe;
- CLA Shooting brake(Universal).
Of course, each presented body modification has a completely appropriate appearance. At the same time, regardless of the body type, each Mercedes SLA car provides the owner with a chic appearance and a huge number of additional extensions.
It should be noted that configurations define only additional extensions. In the basic assembly, absolutely everything is standard, for the most comfortable and no less safe ride in a different environment.
CLA-Class Coupe
mercedes benz CLA Class The 2019 coupe is not just one car that is part of the CLA-Class, but a car that is an official this class. Because of this, each element of the car has a corresponding value and significance.
Cost and equipment
A total of four were released. various configurations, two of which are technically improved versions of the modifications of the same name. At the same time, the price for each presented Mercedes SLA car corresponds to the content.
The released builds equally include the following trim levels:
- CLA 200 Urban - from 2 million 180 thousand rubles;
- CLA 200 Sport - from 2 million 220 thousand rubles;
- CLA 250 4MATIC Urban - from 2 million 570 thousand rubles;
- CLA 250 4MATIC Sport - from 2 million 570 thousand rubles.
In the case of assemblies in the name of which the postscript 4MATIC occurs, they are exclusively four-wheel drive vehicles. The remaining configurations, regardless of the engine, are front-wheel drive.
Please note that in addition to the named assemblies, there is also a fifth complete set, which is part of a special series. This version the car received the name Mercedes Benz CLA Class 45 AMG 4MATIC, and the price for it starts at 3 million 390 thousand rubles.
By the way, the past Mercedes generation Benz CLA-Class was presented with several other trim levels, one of which was the CLA 200 special series. Today, all assemblies are made more accessible, for a greater mass of people.
CLA-Class Shooting Brake
This type of body modification for the CLA-Class is unique in its own way, as can be seen from the original name. It is important to note here that this Mercedes Benz CLA was released in 2019.
Cost and equipment
This vehicle, which has a station wagon body, can be purchased today at the appropriate technological equipment cost. At the same time, the Mercedes SLA car is sold not only in standard, but also one assembly, which is a special AMG series class.
Each station wagon in this model range is listed as all-wheel drive, that is, it carries the corresponding 4MATIC postscript in the name. This is worth considering if you are really attracted to this car and you are going to buy it.
Released trim levels, including the special edition, include the following builds:
- CLA 250 4MATIC Urban - from 2 million 610 thousand rubles;
- CLA 250 4MATIC Sport - from 2 million 610 thousand rubles;
- AMG CLA 45 4MATIC Shooting Brake - from 3 million 390 thousand rubles.
Immediately note that the cost of configurations here depends directly on the proportions between technical specifications and technological equipment. The only exception is the special station wagon series, which is sold at the same price as the CLA coupe.
As you can see, the configuration, as is customary with Mercedes Benz, repeat each other in name. Immediately, the main difference between the station wagon modification and the coupe is the lack of a complete set of Mercedes Benz CLA 200 and the presence of an almost exactly repeating Mercedes assembly Benz CLA Class 250.
Specifications
It is easy to guess that in the case of both versions of Mercedes SLA cars the lineup represented by the same power units. In total, three completely different gasoline engines, which can be installed both in station wagon and coupe.
On the CLA-Class, the price is largely determined by the ratio of power and technical equipment. Thus, none of the existing engines does not carry.

- power - 150 l. With.;
- torque - 250 Nm.

- power - 381 liters. With.;
- torque - 475 Nm.
Every car, whether it's a Mercedes Benz CLA Class Shooting Brake or a coupe modification, is equipped exclusively with a 7-speed automatic transmission.
Video
Mercedes' return to the compact class has been spectacular. “Ashka”, purely outwardly, turned out to be wonderful: with the perfect balance of swiftness, softness and attractiveness of forms. The transformation of this car into a coupe suggested itself and did not make you wait long. Only few people expected that the coupe would be ... four-door.
Mercedes-Benz CLA not only became the first and only one of its kind, but also took away some customers, and even from the older C-class: the owners of models in the back of the W204 are seriously considering buying a CLA as the next new Mercedes. Don't bother them front-wheel drive, nor transition to the class below.
The ultra-expressive exterior of the model is to blame for everything, or rather, “the amount of beauty per ruble spent.” Listing the stylistic delights and features of each element is useless. Just enjoy the photos...
Incredibly spectacular appearance is especially emphasized by the "formidable" AMG package with embossed bumpers and sills, a bifurcated exhaust system and branded 18-inch wheels.
Despite all my contented skepticism about the class of “four-door coupes” invented (by the way, by Mercedes himself), it is the CLA that I am not ready to see in a two-door version. With its irregularity and unusualness, it attracts even more.
The interior is stylistically calmer. However, the same AMG package added a significant amount of atmosphere, and good level equipment - Mercedes luxury and gloss. Unlike the A-class, the bucket seat and racing look instrument panel with clipped sports steering wheel look like native in CLA.
The front seats, anatomical only in appearance, do not have pronounced sportiness, but are still comfortable thanks to the tenacious leather-alcantara upholstery, dense profile and wide ranges of adjustments. The steering wheel is comfortable both in grip and texture leather braid although it is large in diameter.
The remote display clearly displays all the secondary information on a small screen. Navigation has a simple but bright graphics, a rear view camera has good resolution and a clear picture. But the Germans were too lazy to make voice recognition of the “great and mighty”.
Fully allows you to feel all the "charms" of the CLA coupe back row, for nothing that with a separate entrance. When landing, you get the first blow to the head on the upper part of the drop-down doorway, all subsequent ones - when driving through any bumps: with a height of 180 cm, the head rests firmly against the roof. Add here the vertical back of the sofa, a high tunnel in the center and a minimum margin of space for the front seats.
In addition, people suffering from fear closed space and it’s better not to sit on the back sofa at all: small triangular windows, a “wall” of front seats with integrated headrests in front of your eyes and a black ceiling create a gloomy atmosphere.
On the other hand, if you really perceive the CLA as a coupe with a “2 + 2” seating formula, then it turns out that the car is very convenient: having placed children in the back row without any problems, thanks to a separate entrance, two adults sit quietly in front.
The trunk with a narrow opening, but not bad for a class of 470 liters, is deprived of at least some kind of spare wheel - only a repair kit. Can be folded over the back rear seats, but the hatch for long lengths will have to be ordered for a fee.
Mercedes-Benz CLA comes to Russian market only two "civilian" modifications: CLA200 and CLA250 4MATIC. The second version, no doubt, commanding respect and 211-horsepower engine and all-wheel drive. Only in terms of price it matches nothing less than the E-class, which makes the acquisition of such a configuration the lot of ardent fans.
And here is the same financially attractive version with base motor many can be confused just by its power: 156 “horses” look somehow modestly under the body of a car that looks like a sports car.
We declare responsibly, you should not be upset. But! And you don't have to expect much from the car either. Don't forget that no matter how aggressive the look of the car and no matter how daring the "a-m-gesh" body kit may seem, the CLA is first and foremost a Mercedes. So, all car settings are focused on comfort.
Here, in a four-door coupe, the gas pedal is soft, and the reactions to pressing are measured. Echoes the engine and a seven-speed robotic box, trying to get up early to save an extra drop of fuel. By the way, the eco-mode is turned on by default after each engine start. Trend!
And yet it’s a sin to complain about the dynamics - the car works out its 8.5 seconds to “hundreds”. You just need to press the accelerator without hesitation, immediately pushing the pedal to the middle of the stroke. That's when the turbine reveals its capabilities, famously picking up the car from a place, from medium speeds. Even on the highway from 100 km / h, the Mercedes perceptibly picks up speed. True, to help the motor does not interfere with activating the sport mode. In general, the most organic Mercedes CLA behaves precisely with a constantly burning on dashboard the letter "S".
The responsiveness of the car, the predictability of acceleration and the feeling of pickup are noticeably aggravated. At the same time, Mercedes does not turn into a neurotic, but remains true to comfort. Even on ultra-low profile 225/40R18 tires, the CLA has an enviable ride, easily coping with small and medium potholes. But when driving through larger bumps, you worry more not about the suspension, but about the expensive wheels and the same AMG body kit, located just 125 mm from the ground.
Mercedes is not inclined to gambling ride. No, the CLA is unquestioningly obedient and incredibly stable on the trajectory. But the desire to “sink” in the turn still does not arise. With active driving, the steering lacks saturation - the "steering wheel" at a speed even under 160 km / h remains unnecessarily "light". And even a front-wheel drive Mercedes in a turn, even with a slight overspeed, instantly begins to slide outward.
Mecedes-Benz officially unveiled the CLA-Class sedan, which was previewed to a narrow circle of people at the Detroit Auto Show 2013. The presentation of the new model took place on January 15 at the Mercedes Fashion Week event in Berlin, and the car was presented to the general public at the March Motor Show in Geneva.
As previously reported, the Mercedes CLA 2018 (photo and price) is positioned by the automaker as a four-door coupe, and it is based on a platform from latest generation. The cars have a common wheelbase (2,700 mm), but the length of the sedan is 338 mm longer than the length of the hatch.
Options and prices Mercedes CLA 2019
RT7 - 7-speed robot, 4MATIC - all-wheel drive
By their own overall dimensions Mercedes CLA even slightly surpassed the C-class sedan. The length of the novelty is 4,630 mm (39 mm more than the four-door “tseshki”), the width is 2,032 mm (with mirrors), the height is 1,438 mm.
Appearance new Mercedes-Benz CLA solved in concept style Style Coupe, shown at the Beijing Motor Show in the spring of 2012. The car received a radiator grill located almost vertically with a large emblem in the center, sidewalls with complex stampings and rear lights reminiscent of the older CLS.
It is noteworthy that the sedan has an extremely low coefficient drag equal to 0.23 - this indicator is a record among stock cars. This was achieved through the thoughtful shape of the side mirrors and cunning spoilers in the wheel arches.
The interior of the Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class almost completely repeats that of the A-class hatchback. They have the same steering wheel, the same design of the front panel with round ventilation nozzles, the identical architecture of the center console and the same screen of the multimedia system, rendered separately.
Four motors are provided as power units for the car - three gasoline power 122 (CLA 180), 156 (CLA 200) and 211 (CLA 250) HP and one diesel CDI with a return of 170 "horses" (CLA 220). Later, a “charged” modification with a 360-horsepower turbo four appeared in the line.
Besides, Mercedes CLA 2017-2018 can be ordered with system all-wheel drive 4MATIC of a new generation, which under normal conditions transfers traction to the wheels of the front axle. And the rear is connected if necessary.
The vehicle has many various systems safety, including driver fatigue monitoring, collision avoidance system, lane keeping system, and parallel and perpendicular system automatic parking and many others.
Price in Russia updated Mercedes CLA 2019 starts from 2,180,000 rubles for the CLA 200 version with a 150-horsepower engine and robotic box. This is a car in a fixed configuration "Special Series" with a full set of airbags, ABS, ESP, power accessories, light and rain sensors, air conditioning, an audio system with MP3, heated seats, etc. As an alternative, an all-wheel drive version of the CLA 250 4MATIC is available at a cost of 2,570 000 rub.
Mercedes-Benz C 250 "Special Series", 1,725,000 rubles
Until recently, the C-class was the most compact representative of the noble german mark. However, the concept of "compact" in relation to the current generation of the W205 seems to be very arbitrary, since this is still a car far from being small. In addition, the “tseshka” is designed in the same style as the pompous flagship of the S-class and therefore looks very impressive. And yet, formally, this car to this day remains the most small sedan a company that has a canonical rear-wheel drive for Mercedes-Benz.
Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 4Matic "Special Series", 1,712,000 rubles
Even the base C 180 for 1.57 million practically does not lag behind the older brothers in terms of the wealth of equipment. All “three-beam” cars are sold in the “Special Series”, which eliminates the need to pay extra for metallic paint, a 7-speed “automatic” and leather trim (albeit artificial, but still).
By default, the C-Class has an Agility Control chassis, and this is exactly the case when you do not need to try to improve anything. At least our experience with a car equipped with a “russified” suspension turned out to be negative: a sedan with a 15 mm increase ground clearance, reinforced springs and otherwise tuned shock absorbers lost its smoothness and became worse controlled.
Note also that the C 180 is powered by a 1.6-litre power unit, which, even with the help of turbocharging, is not particularly impressive in terms of driving performance. On paper, it looks much more convincing than in reality - for tangible acceleration, the engine will have to be turned mercilessly. More expensive version With 250, it already means a two-liter turbo engine, with which the Mercedes becomes noticeably livelier: such a car makes a hundred faster than in seven seconds. However, this pleasure is not cheap: From 250 it starts from 1,725,000 rubles. For those who only a year and a half ago managed to buy the previous "tseshka" for 1.2-1.3 million, this amount looks very significant.
However, more recently a more democratic sedan has started up in the Mercedes family - we are talking about the CLA, which appeared in Russia last year. In terms of dimensions, it is not much inferior to the C-class, but looks even more elegant due to the sloping roof and frameless doors. With the same 2.0-liter CLA 250 engine, it will cost 1.67 million, and as a bonus you will receive all-wheel drive transmission 4matic. In terms of equipment, both sedans are very similar - they can be brought to a common denominator if the CLA is supplemented with a dual-zone “climate” and a rear-view camera, paying 42 thousand extra.
We decided
overgrown model a number of Mercedes-Benz makes it difficult for the consumer to choose. Yes, the C-class, though a little, but still surpasses its own younger brother in all respects: it has better ride and sound insulation, it has more spacious interior and better equipped. However, if the all-wheel drive is a fundamental point, then it makes sense to pay attention to the CLA 250 4Matic.
