The New CLA Petrol Saloon

The Mercedes-Benz CLA Saloon stands out with its dramatic four-door coupé design, frameless doors and athletic posture. Engineered to appeal to those who seek bold style paired with everyday executive comfort, it turns heads on every street. The interior is a showcase of digital sophistication, featuring driver-oriented displays, customizable ambient lighting and plush luxury finishes. Fitted with refined petrol power delivering eager acceleration and smooth cruising refinement, it makes every commute feel special. Visit your local Group 1 Mercedes-Benz dealership today.

Powered by refined four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engines, the CLA Saloon utilises a 48-volt mild-hybrid system featuring an integrated starter-generator. This setup provides an extra 13 hp electrical boost during acceleration, enables seamless engine start-stop operation, and allows the car to sail with the internal combustion engine switched off completely. Coupled with a smooth shifting 7-speed or 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, the powertrain balances sharp throttle response with reduced fuel consumption, making it ideal for both energetic city driving and relaxed long distance cruising.

The CLA Saloon stands apart from traditional four-door saloons thanks to its dramatic silhouette and sweeping roofline. Up front, a sharp shark-nosed front section featuring the classic Mercedes-Benz star pattern grille is complemented by sleek LED High Performance headlamps. Frameless side doors, pronounced muscular shoulder arches, and a sculpted rear apron with dual exhaust trim motifs emphasise its sporty proportions. A sleek drag coefficient enhances aerodynamic efficiency, reducing wind noise at high motor speeds while maximising stability through sweeping bends.

Inside, occupants are welcomed by a high-tech cabin equipped with twin 10.25-inch displays merged into a floating widescreen cockpit. The intuitive MBUX multimedia system responds to natural speech commands via "Hey Mercedes," permitting easy control over audio, ambient lighting, and temperature. Wireless integration for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto comes standard, alongside ambient lighting with 64 customizable colours. High quality materials, microfibre seat covers, and turbine-inspired air vents highlight the meticulous attention to interior detail.

Overarching the cabin is a fixed panoramic glass roof featuring heat-insulating laminated glass with low-emissivity coatings, maintaining cabin climate comfort in hot or cold conditions. Enhancing nighttime luxury, 158 tiny stars embedded directly within the glass illuminate to match the ambient lighting system, creating a starry sky effect across the ceiling.
