Performance Enhancing Features
Direct Injection Turbo-4 Engine
The CLA 250 offers an efficient 4-cylinder engine that creates 258 lb-ft of torque at only 1,200 rpm and provides the driver with stop-on-a-dime responsiveness.
4MATIC All-Wheel Drive
This lightweight Mercedes-Benz system bases the allocation of power on current road conditions, quickly sending power to the rear axle when needed.
7-Speed Dual-Clutch Transmission
Offering fuel economy superior to traditional manual and automatic transmissions alike, this 7-speed transmission offers the perfect blend of composure and sportiness.
DYNAMIC SELECT
Customize your ride quality with this feature, where the flip of the switch allows you to choose from a range of driving modes that fine-tune steering, suspension, and other vehicle systems.
Unadulterated Driving Pleasure Awaits You

- Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 4MATIC Coupe – This upgraded engine touts industry-topping hp/litre. You’ll see the CLA’s already powerful performance increase to 375 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque and drive more confidently thanks to 4MATIC AWD.
- ECO Start/Stop Fystem – Automatically shuts off the engine of your CLA when it’s not needed, like when you’re stopped at a traffic light, and then restart the car when you’re ready to go again.
- 7-Speed Dual-Clutch Transmission and DYNAMIC SELECT Switch – The dual-clutch system offers swift, sporty gear-shifting and DYNAMIC SELECT offers drivers their choice from three tailored driving modes.
