The CLA comes well-equipped with a sleek infotainment system, a user-friendly COMAND interface, and available advanced safety features like blind-spot monitoring and adaptive cruise control. The turbocharged engine provides peppy performance, and the cabin boasts upscale materials—though some hard plastics remind you it’s an entry-level model.

Sharp looking car. decent gas mileage and lots of power. The DCT shifts very smoothly. The suspension when in sport mode can be a bit hard. The CLA Sport 4Matic is the one you want. with the 18" AMG rims looks amazing

Why it stands out
The 2019 Mercedes-Benz CLA stands out as a sleek, low-slung luxury compact with a premium feel and a strong emphasis on style. It was part of the first-generation CLA lineup, which was described as front-wheel-drive and sleek rather than boxy, and its rakish rear design helped give it a distinctive profile. That shape came with a tradeoff: cargo space was relatively small, at 11.8 cubic feet with the rear seat in place or 42 cubic feet with the seat folded flat.
For 2019, the CLA carried over without significant changes from the prior year’s refresh. That meant it still benefited from the updated styling, redesigned gauge cluster, chrome interior highlights, and standard 8-inch infotainment screen introduced in 2018. It also retained Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with a rear-view camera and the driver-attention monitor and automatic emergency braking that were part of its safety equipment. Buyers looking at the 2019 CLA were getting a compact Mercedes that leaned more toward design and premium features than outright practicality.
Its appeal was strongest for shoppers who wanted an entry-level Mercedes with a polished cabin and a sporty character. The CLA 250 used a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 208 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque, while the seven-speed dual-clutch automatic helped keep the car feeling responsive. The main limitation remained the same: the CLA’s style-first packaging left it with less room than some buyers might want, especially if cargo capacity is a priority.
