While some people are enjoying
Christmas Eve with their families, others are busy posting on forums and
leaking official shots of new cars like the Mercedes-Benz CLA compact saloon.
A total of five images of the new
Mercedes entry-level sedan including three of the exterior and two of
the interior made their way online.
As was the case with
the revealing CLA scoops in Iceland this past September, the car
pictured here is a regular model fitted with Mercedes’ AMG exterior and
interior styling packages and not the CLA 45 AMG, which will feature a
similar aero kit but will do away with the “diamond” front grille.
Being
that it will be the first member of Mercedes-Benz’s extended family
of A-Class-based compact models to be offered in the States, the CLA is
anticipated to make its world premiere on this side of the Atlantic,
possibly as early as next month’s Detroit Motor Show.
Naturally, the engine lineup will
be shared with the A-Class hatchback offering consumers a variety of
turbocharged four-cylinder diesel
and petrol units, including a 2.0-liter gasoline powerplant with 208hp
(211PS) for the CLA 250 BlueEFFICIENCY, and a heavily tuned version of
the same engine delivering 350-horsepower and 332 lb-ft (450Nm) for
the all-wheel drive CLA 45 AMG.
Mercedes’ newly developed
4AMTIC all-wheel drive system for cars with front-wheel drive will be
offered as an option on other CLA models as well.
