Mercedes-Benz CLA
The CLA has replaced the C-Class as the entry-level sedan at Mercedes-Benz. Starting at $34,300, it represents a good starting point for anyone wanting the Mercedes experience at an affordable price. The base trim has a 2.0L 208-hp turbocharged engine and front-wheel drive, but buyers can also opt for the CLA 45 AMG that coaxes 355 horsepower out of the same engine and transfers power to the wheels via the 4MATIC system.
