The baby Mercedes-Benz
CLS is going official at the 2013 North American International Auto Show in
Detroit. Called the CLA, it rides on the same platform as
the A and B-Class compact premium cars,
but is a sedan. Its main competition
will come from the upcoming Audi A3 sedan and BMW 1 Series sedan. These
are the first official Photoshoped
promo pictures.
Being the latest baby Benz, the CLA will surely sport similar engines to its A and B brethren, as
well as some from the bigger C and E-Classes. These include the 1.8-litre turbo worth 90kW for the CLA 180, and a CLA 250
doing 155kW. Diesels will feature prominently too, especially for the European
markets. Of course the CLA 45 AMG is
also being developed and should spew about 260kW
by our calculations. Even if it’s slightly less it should still be pretty decent off the mark.
