Mercedes-Benz is planning to introduce the CLA in January 2015 and will be bought as a CBU to the country and will be priced quite optimistically until the CKS assembly begins.

The CLA is most likely to be introduced in a single trim '200' for both engine options of a 2.0-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder petrol engine producing 181 BHP and 300 Nm of torque, while diesel performance comes from the 2.1-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder unit producing 136 PS and 300 Nm of torque. Both the engines come paired to the 7G-DCT automatic transmission as standard.

Re: Mercedes-Benz CLA To Be Launched in Jan 2015

I hope they price it sensibly after horrendous pricing of GLA. Pricing is everything that draws the customers to showrooms. Audi A3 sales has nit pleased Audi and Mercedes has looks in CLA compared to Sober A3 to draw customers.
Secondly, the MFA based cars are poorly equipped. I hope Mercedes addresses those, Auto Climate Control and some key features are missing in A,B, GLA.

Competition in the entry level luxury sedan is gonna get hot in this year with the CLA and the Jaguar XE coming. This segment will be a key growth driver for luxury car market in India.

What is going to be BMW's answer for this segment, would be interesting to see.

Buddies,

As promised, here is my pictorial review of the new Mercedes Benz CLA that was launched in India on 22nd Jan 2015 at a starting price of INR 31.50 Lac Ex Showroom. Three variants of the CLA have been put up in all.

Photo0275.jpg

From the looks I feel the CLA looks really aerodynamic and looks really pleasing to the eyes.

Photo0276.jpg

The front grill with 3 spoke star has always been the trade mark of the Mercedes Benz and has still been retained even on the CLA Class.

Photo0281.jpg

The panoramic roof along with frame-less windows provide the CLA a really aggressive and bold character that is followed till the rear end. The ORVM with integrated turn indicators do provide safety and elegance to the CLA at the same time.

Photo3266.jpg

The CLA Class boasts of efficient engine technology that provides maximum power with the 4 Cylinder Setup and a 7 Speed dual clutch transmission.

Photo0285.jpg

The interiors of the CLA give a combined feeling of a sporty yet crafted with utmost elegance. The integrated ACC, multi media screen with reverse camera display and AC vents give the feel of an uber-luxurious experience. The CLA comes with a Harman Kardon Logic 7 surround sound system with 20 Audio CD changer, 450 Watts Output, Multi Channel Amplifier and 12 loud-speakers that provide 360-degree in-cabin acoustics.

Photo0283.jpg

The internal roof lamp is also accurately placed giving the cabin adequate light when ever needed.

Photo0284.jpg

The steering of the CLA has steering mounted audio controls, dual horn and integrated driver side air bag. The Silver Accents and Chrome trims on the steering give a sporty feel to it.

Photo0286.jpg

The 3 level seat adjustment functions are provided right on the plush beige leather door pads for the ease of the driver and the passengers.

Photo0287.jpg

The CLA 200 CDI has really comfortable rear seats as well as the front seats to look sporty yet really comfortable. However, the rear does not have a AC vent unlike the C Class. This is something that should be provided. The doors are provided with shadow lamps too.

Photo0277.jpg

The CLA Class come with Bi-Xenon Projector headlamps which substantially improve the visibility in poor weather and night driving. They do accentuate the external character of the car immensely.

Photo0279.jpg

The tail lights of the Benz CLA are projecting a fluidic character and definitely provide a fresh feel to the car thereby complimenting the overall design.

Photo0278.jpg

The CLA comes equipped with 5 spoke dual tone alloys and Continental rubbers.

On the safety front, the CLA is equipped with 6 airbags, attention assist, adaptive braking with hold function.

photo3269.jpg

The Boot of the CLA is quite accommodating with an additional Red trunk light. The fabrication of the Boot and the hood do ensure minimum cabin noise and maximum in-cabin pleasure to all passengers.

Photo0280.jpg

Overall, this is a really nice car with good technology and features at disposal. It would be rather interesting to see how it competes to one of it's closest competitor i.e Audi A3.

I hope this interesting review is appreciated by you buddies, though its not official one.

Regards

Akash
