The CLA will be available in two trim levels: Progressive Line and AMG Line. Even in its “base” version, standard equipment is aplenty. Every CLA Progressive Line will include LED headlights, power folding and heated exterior mirrors, auto-dimming rear view mirror, leather sports steering wheel, power comfort
seats in MB-Tex with seat heating and 4-way lumbar support, and THERMATIC single-zone climate control with air vents for the second row. Four 100-watt USB-C charging ports are also fitted standard.
The AMG Line is the sportier variant, with 18- or 19-inch alloy wheels, a unique front bumper with air intakes and chrome splitter, and a special rear bumper. The cabin of the AMG Line swaps the regular leather steering wheel for a leather “super-sports” steering wheel with a flattened bottom, red contrast stitching on the door panels, sports seats with MB-Tex/microfiber upholstery, and AMG sports pedals in brushed stainless steel with black rubber studs.
Still not sporty enough? Try the AMG Line Plus, which brings AMG Performance Elements to the table like a high-gloss black rear spoiler, illuminated high-gloss black door sills, 19-inch alloy wheels, Red MANUFAKTUR seat belts, and the Night Package, which blacks out exterior trim elements.
The German luxury continues inside
The interior is the glorious mix of opulence and technology you would expect from a new Mercedes-Benz. The CLA dashboard can house up to three screens that together make up what Mercedes calls a “Superscreen.” Not only do they span the width of the car, but the CLA is the first to fully use MB.OS, the automaker’s own operating system, and real-time graphics from the Unity Game Engine.
The driver gets a 10.3-inch instrument display and a 14-inch center touchscreen, while the passenger can stay entertained with a 14-inch screen of their own. Mercedes-Benz will offer streaming from Disney+ and Sony’s RIDEVU, which provides movies as well as video games. The latter is made possible by cloud-gaming provider Boosteroid, with either a Bluetooth gaming controller or smartphone able to be used. Games can be displayed on the center screen if the car is parked, or on the passenger screen while in motion.
