2023 Mercedes-Benz CLA Overview What’s New? CLA 45 Version 55 Limited Edition Part of the 2020 launch of the second generation of the CLA Since Mercedes stopped making the A-Class for the 2023 model year, the CLA is now their entry-level sedan. In other words, it’s the least expensive luxury car. But if you are also thinking about an SUV, the GLA is a little less expensive. Even though the A-Class is cheaper, the CLA has more power, options, and luxury features, so some customers may be disappointed. The CLA has two AMG models, and the rear-sloping roofline gives it more style. Still, the CLA’s low price is hard to argue with, especially when a midsize car from a non-luxury brand that is fully equipped costs almost the same. Also, Mercedes didn’t skimp on the CLA. The sedan has a lot of comforts, an intelligent and high-tech interior, and many of the same features as more significant, more expensive Mercedes cars. It is also fun to drive and has one of the best entertainment systems in its class. The CLA is great in most ways, but it could be better. The car’s back seats are uncomfortable, and even with few options, the price can go up quickly. If you still want a CLA, you should wait until the 2024 model because Mercedes changed the design, improved the engines, and added more standard technology. If you’re still not interested in the CLA, look at some competitors, like the Audi A3 and BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe. The Tesla Model 3 is a car that runs on electricity only. If you choose the modern CLA, this well-built, technologically up-to-date luxury sedan, you’ll be happy with it. Pros vs Cons Pros There are numerous built-in options. You don’t have to pay to get luxury badges. The 35 and 45 models of the AMG CLA run very well. Cons Fewer options for rear seats than some competitors What is Invoice Pricing's Recommendation? Even though the AMG versions are fun to drive, most people don’t need 300+ horsepower, and they are more expensive than the CLA 250, which is the grade we recommend. The CLA 250 is flexible because it has many options and features that can be bought separately. There are a lot of features that are unique to AMG. We suggest getting the Premium package with features like keyless entry and more giant screens. The Driving Assistance package, which contains several cutting-edge driver aids that make driving safer and more accessible, is another terrific addition. Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class models The 2023 Mercedes-Benz CLA is offered in three trim levels: CLA 250, AMG CLA 35, and AMG CLA 45. The CLA 250 can be had either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive (Mercedes’ 4Matic), with all-wheel drive being standard on the more powerful and performance-oriented AMG variants. 2023 Mercedes-Benz CLA Video Review
