CLA
2018
The personal rewards of striving to be the best are even more meaningful in the development of young people than they are for automobiles. Instilling the values
of leadership, goal-setting, discipline and teamwork in youth is an investment in everyone’s future. It’s why Mercedes- Benz USA is collaborating with the Laureus
Sport for Good Foundation, with an ongoing commitment to train and place hundreds of coaches for after- school and in-school sports programs in communities
around the country. Sports of fer kids more than the chance to be physically active and have fun. It ’s also an opportunity to have a mentor who can guide them,
help them learn how to deal with major life issues, and help them grow stronger not just physically but in their character. As a Mercedes-Benz driver, you become
a part of this effort to give hundreds of thousands of kids a better life today, and all of us a brighter tomorrow.

THE 2018 CLA
On c e upo n a dre a m , yo u fin d yo u rs el f at th e
end of a dim hallway with three doors. The
first door opens to a museum — bright and
modern, it pulses with fascinating exhibits
of technology. Through the second door is
a fashionable store, its display case filled
with high-end merchandise from all of your
favorite names. You barely crack the third
do o r open, an d all of the sou n ds and se n sa -
tions of a racetrack — tires singing, turbos
whistling, crews wrenching — thunder into
the hallway. Behind you, an unseen voice
intones, “Go ahead, pick a door. You can’t
have all…” and right then, you bolt awake.
When the “Vision CLA”
dream car debuted at the
auto show, showgoers were
united in their response:
“Please build it.”
Fi n e , you mut t e r as you prep a re for the da y
ahead. Go t it … can only have on e do o r. You
check your phone, noting all the likes last
night’s post got before slipping it into your
pocket. You pick up your wallet, admiring
its silver logo and fine leather for a moment.
Ready to head out, you grab the key to your
car — a new CLA. Savoring its shape in your
hand, you think again about that voice.
Awakening the dream within.
You didn’t plan this when you parked last
night, but your CLA is poised like it ’s wait-
ing for your return. The morning sun high-
lights its curving muscles. The driver seat
invites you into its embrace. And as you
tap the start button, the turbo hums a mel-
lower rendition of the snarling soundtrack
from the dream. A few minutes later, three
of your friends climb in, and your weekend
begins with conversation and a quick deci-
sion on where to stop for coffee. As each of
you exits the car, you hear it. In fact, you
f e el i t. A n d ri g ht t he n, yo u ge t i t: Th e d re am ?
You’re living it. And it has four doors.

Performance
REVEALING IN EVERY REV
Your seat is adjuste d just right. Th e leathe r
wheel sits comfortably in your hands — your
fingertips poised by the shift paddles. And
by the time you feel the first upshift, your
hands, eyes and mood are being rewarded
as a team — and by a team: Every element of
your CLA is per forming like a pitch- perfect
chorus. And you’re the lead singer.
Proficiency in efficiency.
Exiting a corner, you glance at the gauges.
The compact turbo engine serves up rpm,
mph and mpg, all in generous portions. It’s

it’s also many other synonyms for efficient,
like adept, decisive and energetic. The
2.0L inline-4 engine’s Direct Injection and
multispark ignition adapt in milliseconds —
fast enough to fine -tune the combustion
process while it’s happening. The 7-speed
automatic’s dual clutches can shift more
quickly than a human — engaging the next
gear while it exits the current gear. In the
scant 6.9 seconds4 of a 0-to -60 dash, the
CLA’s team of performance prodigies has
played — and won — more lightning rounds
than a television game -show champion.
Prodigious with a pedigree.
Its agile moves reveal the racing champions
in its bloodline — even more so with one of
its three suspension options. And you can
