Mercedes-Benz CLA Class car lease deals

Performance and features

The CLA Class is the ideal compact family saloon for those looking for power, prestige and personality, equipped with a bigger boot and sportier styling than the futuristic A-Class. Design highlights include the ground-skimming bumpers, angular brake lights and iconic curved windows, with every detail emulating the brands’ commitment to class. Every CLA is generously equipped with at least 18-inch alloy wheels, a sporty body kit and LED headlights, while safety standard kit includes automatic emergency braking and lane-keeping assistance.

There are a staggering seven engines available, including two 1.3-litre petrol with 136bhp that propels the CLA from 0-60mph in 8.2 seconds. Things stepped up a notch with the 190bhp 2.0-litre petrol with an acceleration time of seven seconds, and move on to a 2.0-litre diesel that comes paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. Petrols are matched to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox and all models feature front-wheel drive. When it comes to CO2 emissions, the 1.3-litre engine produces 123g/km, while the 2.0-litre 220 or 250 bumps the output up to 139g/km.

Interior technology

Mercedes are synonymous with luxury and comfort, so it comes as no surprise that the CLA’s driver-oriented interior has lashes of both. Even the most affordable model is equipped with leather sports seats, a leather steering wheel and brushed aluminium trips, while upgraded variants come with customisable mood lighting, branded door sills and keyless entry. There’s also a panoramic sunroof available with the optional Premium Plus package. All models feature twin 10.3-inch touchscreens with sharp graphics and an innovative infotainment system, which allows for wireless phone charging.
