2015 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class - Review and Road Test

The Mercedes-Benz CLA is a sleekly styled entry-luxury sedan with a sub-$30,000 starting price. A more affordable Mercedes sounds nice but would you actually want to drive one? KBB's Micah Muzio answers that question in this video.

OMG! Give this guy a raise! Promote him KBB! Speaking as a CLA owner since December 2013, this is the first review I have read/seen which exactly nails the essence the CLA. Well done.

Perfect car for those just graduated out of University with stable income, own apartment, in a relationship & occasional need to ferry family.
As a car for young 2 people families, it offers quite a bit of value, style & exclusivity (vs. those who'll just use the same $ to buy a loaded everyman Accord)

This is sincerely the best review I've seen of this car!

They gave me free car wash for life at the dealership I bought it from. This is my first car, saved up from my first anniversary working at my job as an RN.
But free car wash for life hahaha $43k was the total including the 7 year warranty.

i wish they make a car with c class interior but cla exterior

[ericjohnson]

it's a great car and I've enjoyed driving it.   The back seat isn't for 6-1 plus but I didn't buy it to transport 4 people.  I'm getting 31 MPG in mixed drive which is awesome.   It has a lot of power and the handling is superb.  The interior is nice and well done. Nicer than the out going C-class and Audi.   A solid driving car.   I would recommend it and I would buy again.

to Kobe B: My son went off to college and the only way I could see him on the weekends was to install a helicopter pad near the reflecting pool. It was so costly renting a copter I just bought one.

This car is absolutely gorgeous. A true work of art

[nexorabolis]

Mercedes always seems to take the cake with their bold yet beautiful styling. If I had the money, this would be the car I would buy.

I'm liking these reviews by Muzio! Nicely done!

[BenzinioB]

Very nice review!.. and it seems to be the anniversary No1000 :)
Well done!

[benjamindennis]

This guy was great to listen to!... charismatic personality and clear delivery.

FYI, only the blue efficiency models in Europe get the .23 cD.  The ones sold in the US have .28 drag which is about average with the segment

Micah is the best auto journalist...hands down!

[jjaafar]

we just got ours (cla 250 4matic)...so far, we are loving it!!!

minor complaints:
-glove compartment is too small. the navi module slot is getting in the way. even the car manuals won't fit.
-no sunglasses holder (really? but ashtray is standard?)

[blah]

When ever I see American car reviews on YT, the roads are always recked looking.

CLA is good to look at (inside and out). 2 series is fun to drive. I wonder about A3. Is it both?

[a.j.kasetyo]

In Singapore, this car is everywhere. And it costs SGD 160k for the base CLA180. For the CLA250 with AMG line (like the one in the video), it costs a whopping SGD 190k. Paying for the looks and brand image over practicality, but it's well worth. A friend of mine was choosing this or and Audi A3 sedan, but I recommended this to him instead.

Honestly, for an entry-level Mercedes it sure looks a lot better than the Maybach S550. I'm only talking about exterior looks.
