Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class Coupe (2013 - 2019) verdict
Petrol and diesel engines
When the CLA goes on sale there will be a choice of either a petrol or diesel engine. The CLA 180 is the former option, with a claimed 120bhp and an average fuel economy of 50.4mpg.
Diesel power comes courtesy of a 2.1-litre unit known as the CLA 220 CDI, which makes 168bhp and returns a claimed 62.8mpg on the combined cycle.
Start/stop technology is standard across the engine range. As per the regular A-Class, two suspension set-ups are available depending on the trim level you decide on. Sport customers get ‘comfort’ suspension while AMG Sport buyers get lower ‘Sport’ suspension.
So the CLA is a refreshing deviation from the norm but is it a car worth buying?
