Mercedes-Benz CLA
The CLA is the gateway to the Mercedes-Benz family. The next generation of this sporty little sedan will offer electric and hybrid powertrains on an all-new platform. But for now, the CLA is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine offering three different output levels—221 hp in the base 250 model, 302 hp in the AMG 35 and 416 hp in the range-topping AMG 45 S. All-wheel drive and a dual-clutch transmission are also part of the mix.
