Superb review. Love how you quote figures in metric and imperial. No other reviews on YouTube go into as much detail for this model. Well balanced and informative. Perfect for potential buyers so thank you!

Thomas, you are making me shout, “Full HD, full screen, and full length! Let's go!” everytime I watch something I am excited for! Will not be long until I do it in the cinema before the movie starts! 😂 Thanks! 😂

Cheers, Thomas! 😎 Great review. Always appreciate a review, especially in these scary times. I have been waiting for this one since I first saw it. Really cool CLA Shooting Brake. Since there is no A-Class Estate, I call this an A-Class estate to keep myself sane, lol.

I agree with you on the colour as well. I love it, especially at night in the city. The digital display is very nice. I have seen the base screens, and they are really nice as a base version. They all come with MBUX, so you are not really losing anything not getting the other screens.

The Store you clicked there has Daimler's online service you get when buying the car. We can make payments for anything like parking, hotel rooms, meals, servicing, and many other digital banking possible through there. Really awesome.

My theory on why the fuel economy is not the best is because of the filters that Mercedes-Benz put in there to meet EU regulations. That is my theory, and I felt that with the new GLE (not the hybrid). But I do not mind it.

The brake intervention is something Mercedes-Benz has been doing for years. Even the GLK had it, and I am used to it. Their intervention system is the first I have experienced, so that is why I am okay with it and prefer it that way.

In the future, Mercedes-Benz did say they plan to standardize a lot of equipment in their cars on base trims. It has improved since 2011 when I bought the GLA, but they are getting there slowly. I am okay with how they price things now, but I can kind of see why others do not. Personally, I rather have the more individualization they have now rather than rolling things up into packages, so I am not forced to get things I do not want like some other brands do. Mercedes-Benz do offer packages, but they let me choose what in that package I want and do not want. I love that. I do not want them to lower the base price, but maybe lower the options price for more common stuff like heated and cooled seats, sensors, backup and front camera by a little...maybe. But their more exclusive features like the wood trim, AMG line, colour, or wheels for example I am fine with the price they give.

Cheers, Thomas! 😎 Those are my thoughts. Stay safe. Hopefully we survive this pandemic. ❤

I would love to see the AMG 45S version of this review

[alexanderp]

Great review as always. Thank you Thomas and your team behind ;)

[ROBINRGLOVER]

Comprehensive review👍🏼. Would love to know your thoughts on the 250e Shooting Brake?

[MatuteTarq]

Many thanks Thomas for this video. Excellent job Autogefuh.
l It’s basically an estate version of the A-Class, but it’s not as practical as a C-Class estate, nor as popular as an GLA.
Sounds by the comments made by Thomas that is better to drive than an A-Class sedan. It’s a very good looking state car.
Interior is not plush enough in the trim for a Mercedes Benz. BMW and Audi has superior interiors quality.

I really love your reviews but i think there should be intro with a car specs: like cla 250 amg with premium pack plus. I really had hard time figuring out if this had panoramic roof when you sit in back. When you show car there is never a helicopter footage. i wanna see the roof :)

Thomas' Driving Lounge: I love it, and this review is wonderful! Thank you!

[iPhoneProMax-hufy]

Thomas is the most gentleman in Germany.

Really great review. Very detailed. As we like it!

[DoktorScaramanga]

Verstehe auch nicht warum die immer dieses hochglanz-schwarz verbauen... da sieht man jedes Staubkorn drauf und verkratzt schnell.... war glaube sogar mal in der E-Klasse immer drin anfangs, ohne Option ein anderes zu nehmen

[masterrazvan]

Hi, the New Mercedes CLA 2020 is very cool sport mode l like is my favorite.

[SDav]

Can you please question Mercedes on build and material quality if you ever meet the engineers or know someone there?

[shroomyesc]

Personally, I liked the design of the previous CLA shooting brake more with the LED outline on the tail lights and I don't really like the fake vents in the lower quarters of the front. They'd be fine with a fog lamp but for some reason Mercedes doesn't seem to like putting fog lamps in their cars. On a sidenote, can somebody explain why modern Mercedes (And some VW models too) have the rear view camera popped out while driving forward like at 3:46? It looks very bad from behind.
