Out of my own curiosity, I had to do this just because I am wondering how small the CLA is going to be once it arrives. I am sure a lot of you will find this useful as well. Quite a difference in size once you see them side by side. The scaling is 99% accurate
BONUS: I had to compare the current Sonata size with the CLA. Luckily the Sonata is hidden behind the CLA out of view (mostly).
Excellent share, as my other household ride is an 8th gen Accord sedan (more-or-less same size at the new 9th gen sedan).
The Accord interior feels like a full-sized sedan, in terms of headroom & rear-legroom/rear-seat. And, it drives like a full-sized sedan too (much to my dismay).
I was looking for a nimble & nifty sporty ride that still would have an usable backseat, and I believe the CLA is it!
You would love my current ride then, the 2013 Audi S4. Fast supercharged 3.0 V6, which handles amazing. Spacious interior. Everything I could ask for. Unfortunately I get bored with my cars too fast and always need a change. The only down side is it sucks gas down. (I avg 16mpg hwy/city). I am not looking forward to almost a 200hp loss when I get the CLA though, but thats the price I pay for better gas mileage, and different new vehicle.
Oh trust me man, if it wasn't for reliability/dependability, I'd likely have a stable of Audi's. My good friend has had an A4 Avant S-Line, S4 Avant, and RS4. Each of them were delish' to me. Even now, I catch myself looking into an A5/S5 at times.
The Civic is a marvel of packaging, compact-sized w/ near mid-size interior space.
Interestingly, the CLA is similar to Civic in exterior size but similar to Accord in weight...
With that said, the CLA reminds me a lot of the Lexus IS300 ("Altezza") of years ago which I felt was an LS left in the dryer too long, much like the CLA is a shrink-wrapped CLS. Both, the IS300 & CLA, carry distinguishing & appreciable silhouettes. Very stout, chiseled, and clean designs.
Folks, I'm pleased to learn about those external dimensions. But what is truly a benchmark for me is the cabin space. Anyone know the size of the cabin compared to its competition?
Thanks for the great info! As someone mentioned previously, interior space comparison would be great, and perhaps even more important. Exterior dimensions are great (not too small, not large). As for interior space, the more the better.
Hello!
I am a pretty new owner of a CLA 250 (2018) and was planning a trip to lake Tahoe over the weekend.
I have snow chains (z cable) prepared but heard some friends advise me against driving my car in case it will get damaged, and suggested I rent instead.
I do have mfg warranty, dent...
UK Apple App Store now has two Recedes Me apps. The old buggy one that doesn't control the car windows and times-out when you request the Collision Alarm page, and a new one (called Mercedes Me 2020) that actually works. A thread over on the UK A Class forum suggests it’ll replace the old app in...
Does anyone know if the keyless go and hands free access options were in fact added to the premium package in US bound CLA 250s starting with January production as was posted in the ordering guide? Those two options weren't available up until that point for US cars.
Something I find a little odd compared to BMW or Audi etc.
When running low on fuel/ gas the pump symbol on the gauge turns yellow the stated range left in miles continues to countdown. My CDI 220 states low fuel yellow symbol at about 80 miles left before empty. Then at about 50 miles the...
Just ordered a 2020 CLA 250. (Feb 2020) Missed the stop production cut-off date of Dec 2019 on the Jupiter Red, had to take Patagonia Red. Any thoughts on the difference between the two and are there any pics showing the two colors side by side?
