DREAM UP
Information Provided by:
No one ever asks “Where do you
see yourself five minutes from
now?” We focus so much on our
long‑term goals that we tend to
forget the value of here and now.
But when you think about it, here
is not a destination, and now is
but a single frame in the moving
picture of life. When Karl Benz
invented the automobile in 1886,
he couldn’t have predicted what
the world would be like 128 years
later. But through his imagination
and hard work then, he altered
the course that took us to now —
and turned dreams into a better
reality. While Mercedes‑Benz
continues to drive the future of
the car, its owners get to drive
the car of the future — and do so
while reveling in the here and
now. With its one‑ of‑ a‑kind style,
first‑ of ‑their‑ kind innovations
and ahead‑of‑its‑class safety, the
2014 CLA is something entirely
new in its price class. Yet in soul
and substance, it’s what every
Mercedes ‑ Benz has always been.
It’s a dream car, for sure. But one
you can see yourself in, right now.

Power domes debuted on Mercedes-Benz hoods in the 1950s, when the
first fuel-injected engine broke racing records. The Direct Injection turbo- 4
in the CLA 250 advances its breakthroughs while embodying all its spirit.
The diamond-block grille features 230 hexagonal pins, each one uniquely
sized, shaped and spaced — and not by a computer-generated algorithm but
by the same detail-obsessed human designer who sculpted the car’s body.
With the Sport Package, each pin is rendered in radiant, beveled chrome.
Mesh grilles in the front apron help define three distinct looks for the CLA.
Beyond the deeply sculpted standard air dam, larger intakes punctuate the
more aggressive apron of the Sport Package. Functional black winglets and
a matte Titanium Grey lower cross- strut manage airflow to the CLA 45 AMG.
Pure coupe style flows from the arching roofline into the rakish yet roomy

trunk. With frameless door glass and concealed B -pillars, the side windows
are a study in tensed muscle that conveys the athletic nature of the CLA.
Crisp edges draw the eye from the sweeping sculpture of the side profile
to the integrated rear spoiler, simultaneously ushering airflow around it for
optimal aerodynamic benefits. With exceptionally tight creases, every detail
of the body invites — and rewards — your touch. Flared side sills underscore
the Sport Package, adding matte Titanium Grey inserts on the CLA 45 AMG.
Multiple wheel designs match precise performance with your own sense
of style. Standard 17" 5-spoke alloys feature a bold, high-contrast finish. Or
you can opt for either of two 18" wheel designs: an aggressive twin 5- spoke
style, or iconic AMG

STEP AHEAD
Information Provided by:
Ask the CLA 250 to perform, and
you’ll get something more than
an enthusiastic response. You’ll
feel as if it’s already anticipated
your next move — because in many
situations, it has. Its turbo spins
up instantly, putting the full force
of the engine’s torque on tap in
almost any situation. Squeeze the
shift paddles, and its dual‑ clutch
transmission has the next gear
poised for action before the last
one passes the baton. Power out
of a corner and a precisely tuned
suspension teams up with equal‑
length driveshafts, for an athletic
mix of agility and determination.
Intercooled high- pressure turbocharging generates immediate response.
The 208- hp 2.0 -liter 4-cylinder in the CLA 250 unleashes 258 lb-ft of torque
starting at just 1,250 rpm. Direct Injection and rapid - multispark ignition can
fine-tune their per formance in milliseconds, turning less gas into more go.
The available 4matic® all‑wheel
drive2 — developed exclusively for
the CLA — varies the torque sent
to each wheel progressively. It
responds not just to the grip of
each tire but your driving style —
including your use of the Sport
and Manual transmission modes.
And when you wind it all down
at a red light, the engine takes a
rest, too — saving fuel by not using
any. When the light turns green,
the turbo‑ 4 is fired up and ready
by the time you step on the gas —
as if the CLA knows exactly what
you have in mind. And can’t wait
to turn anticipation into action.
ECO Start/Stop can help save fuel and lower emissions by shutting off the
engine when you’d otherwise be idling — from traffic lights to traffic jams.
The instant you lift off the brake pedal, the engine restarts automatically.
Optional 4
rear wheels based on grip and the driver’s choice of transmission modes.
It’s among the lightest — and the most efficient — AWD systems in its class.
Fully independent suspension with front struts and a multilink rear design
teams with STEER CONTROL, an innovation of the electromechanical power
steering. In corners and other maneuvers, subtle impulses of the steering
wheel offer intuitive prompts, to help the driver achieve optimum handling.
The CLA 250 Sport Package includes an even sharper sport suspension.
