Mercedes CLA Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2019–2024) — Second Generation
The second-generation Mercedes CLA offers Sedan and five-door Estate bodies. Choosing one means balancing the shape and luggage access you prefer with a powertrain and equipment package that suit your daily driving.
Mercedes CLA engine choices include gasoline, diesel and plug-in hybrid options. Among the Sedan versions, the front-wheel-drive CLA 180 1.3 MT gives you manual gear selection, while the CLA200d 2.0 DCT combines diesel power with an automated dual-clutch transmission and all-wheel drive. Diesel generally suits regular longer journeys; the CLA250e adds the option of electric driving.
Mercedes CLA trim levels distinguish equipment packages within a technical version. For the gasoline, front-wheel-drive CLA180 1.3 DCT Sedan, Coupe Edition and Progressive are named configurations. When choosing between them, check the individual car’s comfort, infotainment and parking equipment, since the trim name alone does not establish every fitted feature.
The CLA250e Sedan pairs its plug-in hybrid powertrain with a lithium-ion battery, an automated transmission and front-wheel drive. Mercedes CLA battery capacity helps determine electric range, but temperature, speed and heating use also affect how far you travel between charges. Regular charging gives you more opportunities to cover everyday journeys on electricity.
