History
The CLA was first introduced in 2013, building on the success of the 2012 Concept Style Coupé, offering a distinct and accessible four-door coupe design. This initial generation allowed Mercedes-Benz to effectively enter the compact mid-sized segment, especially in the U.S. market. The range expanded in 2015 with the CLA Shooting Brake, introducing greater versatility. In 2019, the second-generation CLA Coupé marked a significant evolution, featuring larger exterior dimensions and notable interior advancements. This update brought a predominantly digital cockpit, smoother body surfaces, and improved integration of driver assistance and comfort technologies. The Coupé and Shooting Brake variants of this generation share more visual elements than before, strengthening the design coherence within the CLA family.
