The Slippery Mercedes-Benz CLA 250: What Lies Beneath - Popular Mechanics

Interesting!!

Great share, thanks! Ahhh'mazing that the CLA can still look so darn sesky & macho yet also be so slippery & aero efficient.

Seriously, fall of this year can not come soon enough for those of us who are keenly waiting for this baby to arrive...

Mercedes is really going the extra mile with this car...

What do they mean by "serrated spoilers at the front and rear wheel arches." ?

The CLA 250 has a 0.28 Cd, not 0.23. The CLA 180 stripper on skinny tires has the 0.23 Cd.

Page 19 of the ordering guide sure looks like a Cla 250 with the .23 cd noted. Page 2 of the same guide makes no mention of the CLA 180. Post up the source of your info. Interested. Thx

Nevermind, I found a serrated spoiler explanation here. That's pretty high-tech. Even the radiator shutter is pretty high tech too.
