Powertrain and Performance

The new CLA 250 is equipped with a turbocharged inline-four that churns out 221 horsepower, and it can make 258-pound-feet of torque. The engine delivers excellent performance, mainly when featured with the optional all-wheel drive. The powertrain will also favor daily commuters. It has a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission with well-timed shifts that pair with the engine.

Minus the all-wheel-drive system, the new CLA 250 registers outstanding fuel efficiency ratings of 36 mpg on the highway and 25 mpg in the city. Adding the all-wheel-drive will make the ratings drop. This car feels fun to drive in every driving situation due to its well-tuned chassis that offers an accurate steering wheel plus sturdy brakes that ensure a confident and safe ride. The suspension is also effective on rough terrains, contributing to the comfortable and smooth ride.

Exterior

The new CLA 250 boasts a refreshing exterior. The front part boasts sharp LED headlamps that lay low on the vehicle's snout, and you will get a special Mercedes grille at the center. At the rear part, you will also get LED brake lights accompanied by a slim wrap-around. In addition, there is a dual exhaust and rear window fixed with a defroster. 18-inch spoke wheels, body-colored door handles, tinted glass, and galvanized steel panels come standard.

Interior

On the other hand, the interior is also accompanied by upscale styling elements, including wood and metal trim, leather-appointed seats, a complete suede headliner, and ambient interior lighting. For more comfort, an available package adds heated and ventilated seats. The readjustments of the front seats will be helpful for the drivers, given that they will be able to come up with a preferred seating position. It offers two rows, meaning it can host up to five passengers. A tether anchor and LATCH connectors in the second-row result in the child car seat setup.

Technology

Like most Mercedes-Benz models, the new CLA 250 is also accompanied by the unique Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) infotainment system. The system offers several well-tuned tech features that are user-friendly and result in a great driving experience. The standard 7-inch and optional 10-inch touch screens support Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. However, the 10-inch touch screen offers more apps, including satellite radio, a navigation system, and a Wi-Fi hotspot. Each touch screen is accompanied by a digital gauge cluster of the same size - 7-inch and 10-inch. More tech features you can consider adding include a 12-speaker stereo system, automatic climate control, and keyless entry. Wireless device charging is also optional, and it does what the name suggests. It uses magnetic inductions to conduct energy from the charger to the battery's phone placed on the charging pad.
