Here’s what the brand new upcoming Mercedes-Benz CLA looks like! This “spy” picture was taken in Iceland and shows the next baby Benz
stark naked, that is, with none of
the usual black plastic camouflage. The
CLA, or whatever it will be called, is really a sedan version of the new A-Class, and will go up against the
new Audi A3 sedan.
CLA is a four-door sedan, a baby CLS if you will, as shown by that sloping rear end design.
Mercedes-Benz has really gone to town on this one, they shed their conservative design fears a while ago
and are going for the young car consumer
who, up to now, has only looked at Audi and BMW.
What this means is that the CLA will share its powertrains with
the A-Class. Therefore we can look forward to engines such as the 135kW 1.6-litre turbo, the 150kW 2.1-litre turbo diesel and
others. For sure they will be an AMG
version able to kick out over 245kW.
The car launches
in a few weeks’ time, probably at the 2012
Paris International Motor Show. It goes on sale in Mzansi during the first half of 2013.
Can't wait
