Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class model year 2014
The Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class is set to establish a new segment, with world-leading aerodynamics Cd value of 0.22 for the Blue EFFICIENCY Edition avant - garde coupé design and 4MATIC all-wheel drive (optional). As a new four-door coupé it follows the idea of the CLS, whose design concept has spawned more than its fair share of imitators since its debut in 2003. The newcomer features a radar-based braking system COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST as standard which is able to warn the driver of an obstacle from a speed of 7 km/h and to initiate precision braking when the driver steps on the brake pedal
The resonance created by the Concept Style Coupé was overwhelming. By far the most frequent comment heard was 'please put this car into series production' And that's exactly what we're doing now said Dr Dieter Zetsche, Chairman of the Board of Management of Daimler AG and Head of Mercedes-Benz Cars The CLA is a car that does not confuse mid‑range with mediocrity. Its powerful design underscores the sporty side of the Mercedes-Benz brand
In keeping with its sporty positioning, the CLA is available with high-torque turbo engines rated at up to 155 kW 211 hp sports suspension and 4MATIC all-wheel drive. The technical highlights of this new design icon include a new world record in aerodynamics for series production automobiles Cd value: 0.22 and numerous driving assistance systems, including the further-developed COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST
This radar-based assistance system provides the possibly distracted driver with visual and acoustic warnings of identified obstacles and prepares the adaptive Brake Assist system for precision braking. Braking is initiated as soon as the driver steps emphatically on the brake pedal. When an impending danger of collision is identified, the COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST system calculates the precise braking force ideally needed to avoid an accident and makes the best possible use of any distance remaining. As a new feature, COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST affords protection from typical rear-end collisions in dangerous traffic situations in the CLA from a speed of only 7 km/h (previously: above 30 km/h
Five lines and packages which vary greatly in character are available to individualise the striking compact mid-range coupé (length/width/height: 4630/1777/1437 millimetres). In keeping with the digital lifestyle of the CLA's social media-savvy target group, smartphones can additionally be fully integrated into the vehicle's display and operating system.
The CLA Edition 1 will only be available for twelve months. Among the exclusive equipment features of this model, which can be powered by any of the engine versions, the NEON ART interior with leather upholstery and black DINAMICA microfibre with yellow contrasting topstitching is worthy of mention.

The design: The style rebel
Its breathtakingly sporty proportions and powerfully dynamic design idiom, with its interplay between concave and convex surfaces give this four-door coupé its unmistakable look.
The vehicle's striking features include the bonnet embedded in the front end with powerdomes and the diamond radiator grille. The light modules and LEDs behind the headlamp cover glass have been arranged in such a way as to create the characteristic "flare effect" for the daytime driving lights and indicators. This light signet defines the car's energetic appearance and shapes a new Mercedes face.
Numerous details indicate that on a design level the CLA represents a further development of the modern classic Mercedes-Benz CLS. Three prominent lines give structure to the vehicle when viewed from the side: the front structural edge over the wings flows towards the rear end in a characteristic dropping line. Another, more sinewy line spans the shoulder muscle above the rear axle, while the third feature line extends in a sweeping curve from the front wheel towards the rear. Together, these lines lend depth and dynamism to the side profile.
The width-emphasizing rear end radiates power and athleticism, featuring an interplay between convex and concave surfaces and edges. The gently sloping roof contour and the pronounced, hallmark curvature of the rear window provide the CLA with a coupé-style character from the rear, too. The athletic impression from the rear results from the drawn-in C-pillars in conjunction with the shoulder muscle over the rear wheel arch linings. The tail lights are framed by the muscular lines of the shoulders which extend into the rear end, the horizontal orientation of the lights emphasizing the rear's powerful and aesthetic breadth. The light functions feature an arrow-style arrangement.
A large panoramic sliding sunroof is optionally available. This sunroof consists of a fixed polycarbonate cover at the front, a moving element made of mineral crystal and side trims to match the glass look.
Electroplated trim elements: the interior
The exterior's progressive, sporty appearance is continued inside the vehicle. The interior additionally derives a very special quality feel from the design idiom, the selection of high-quality materials and the available combinations of materials.
The instrument panel incorporates five round vents. The outer rings of the round vents have a high-quality electroplated silver-chrome finish. The airflow direction is governed by a galvanised insert that reveals a meticulous attention to detail. The free-standing display screen features a black piano-lacquer-look front panel and, in combination with COMAND Online a flush-fitting silver frame.
The CLA is fitted with integral seats in the front and rear, underscoring its sporty character. The rear bench seat emphasises the outer seats (2+1‑seater). Coloured contrasting stitching is available, according to the selected interior appointment options. A fibre-optic cable in the opening between head restraint and backrest is optionally available as part of the ambient lighting.
The model range: Sporty and exclusive
With the "Urban" and "AMG Line" equipment lines, three design packages and numerous other optional extras, the CLA can be personalised to suit every taste. The CLA Edition 1 will only be available for twelve months. Among the exclusive equipment features of this model, which can be powered by any of the engine versions, the NEON ART interior with leather upholstery and black DINAMICA microfibre with yellow contrasting topstitching is worthy of mention.

The diesel engines: From the S-Class to the CLA-Class
The CLA 220 CDI combines sporty handling with exemplary efficiency and already complies with the Euro 6 exhaust gas standard, which will only become mandatory from 2015. The ECO start/stop function is featured as standard. The CLA 200 CDI is due to follow in September.
Since its world premiere in 2008 the direct-injection diesel engine known as the OM 651 has been setting standards in terms of performance and torque characteristics, economy, emissions and smooth running. It is in more widespread use than any other Mercedes-Benz diesel engine and is an exemplary model of efficiency and power right up to the S-Class. For transverse installation the belt drive for the ancillary units, the installed position of the turbocharger and the air ducting have been modified.
Dynamic in its handling, extremely efficient and of exemplary cleanliness: the CLA 220 CDI, available exclusively in combination with the 7G-DCT dual clutch transmission. The 125 kW (170 hp) top diesel with a displacement of 2.2 litres and a peak torque of 350 Nm, features a weight-optimised crankshaft and, with its individual bearing covers bolted from below and four counterweights, weighs around six kilograms less than an OM 651 of the same displacement, in the longitudinal-installation variant. The CLA 220 CDI is equipped with a multi-path exhaust gas recirculation system which reduces the nitrogen oxide emission levels.
Already today it meets the Euro 6 exhaust gas standard which will be compulsory from 2015. With 109 g CO2 per km and a combined fuel consumption of 4.2 litres per 100 km, the CLA 220 CDI sets new standards in its segment with 8.2 seconds for the standard sprint and a top speed of 230 km/h, its performance is of sports car level.
At 2.2 litres, the engine is relatively large-displacement, which makes it agile already at low speeds. Mercedes-Benz engine experts call this combination of large-displacement engine and low engine speeds "downspeeding This made it possible for the ECONOMY gearshift program of the 7G‑DCT transmission to be decidedly economical and comfortable. If the driver selects S gearshifts are performed much faster and the ratio spread uses the rpm reserves of the engine for dynamic performance
The CLA 200 CDI can be ordered from 8 April 2013, the first vehicles will be delivered to customers from September 2013. Its top output is 100 kW (136 hp), its maximum torque, 300 Nm. The displacement was reduced to 1.8 litres by shortening the stroke (83 mm instead of 99 mm). The significantly longer connecting rods ensure lower transverse friction, and the two Lanchester balancer shafts also have a low-friction design. The single-stage turbocharger has been optimised for efficiency and features adjustable vanes. With a distance between cylinders of 94 millimetres and cylindrical gears driving the camshafts, transverse installation and the short length required were part of the design specification from the very start.
The petrol engines: Powerful, responsive and super-clean
Mercedes-Benz has systematically transferred the BlueDIRECT technology from the V6 and V8 engines of the Mercedes-Benz luxury class. The BlueDIRECT four-cylinder petrol engines for the new Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class combine great responsiveness and exemplary power delivery with outstanding efficiency and the best emission figures in this class. The world-first CAMTRONIC, an innovative valve lift adjustment feature, makes a major contribution to this. There is a choice of 1.6 or 2-litre variants of the new four-cylinder engine family for the CLA-Class, covering a power range from 90 kW 122 hp and 200 Nm to 155 kW 211 hp and 350 Nm.
Thanks to BlueDIRECT and highly precise piezo-injection, the new engines already meet the Euro 6 emissions standard for petrol engines coming into force from 2015. Even the much more stringent diesel particulate limit in the Euro 6 standard is already bettered with no additional exhaust aftertreatment. This was a major motivation for introducing BlueDIRECT into this segment as well. This means that the completely newly developed generation of four-cylinder petrol engines is ideally prepared for the future.
The BlueDIRECT family has grown three new petrol engines
The M 270 engine is available in three output levels in the new CLA-Class As the CLA 180 with a displacement of 1595 cc it develops 90 kW 122 hp and a maximum torque of 200 newton metres over a wide engine speed range from 1250 to 4000 rpm. With the basic engine and the 6-speed manual transmission the new Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 9.3 seconds and has a top speed of up to 210 km/h. The fuel consumption and CO2 emission figures of 5.4 l/100 km, NEDC, combined, and 126 g/km, respectively, are so low that they possibly set a new record.
Thanks to extensive aerodynamic optimisation measures, the CLA 180 BlueEFFICIENCY Edition, whose premiere is to be in June, betters even these figures: with 5.0 litres/100 km and 118 g CO2/km, it is among the most frugal cars in its class.
The CLA 200 with the same displacement of 1595 cc develops 115 kW (156 hp) and a maximum torque of 250 Nm, which is likewise available from 1250 to 4000 rpm. It sprints from zero to 100 km/h in 8.6 seconds and has a top speed of 230, but is happy with an average 5.5 l/100 km of fuel, meaning CO2 emissions of 127 g/km.
The CLA 250 is powered by the top engine variant with a displacement of 1991 cc. The engine develops 155 kW (211 hp) and a maximum torque of 350 Nm from 1200 to 4000 rpm. Performance is at sports car level, with acceleration from zero to 100 km/h in 6.7 seconds and a top speed of 240 km/h. Nonetheless it has the best fuel consumption in this class at 6.1 l/100 km, and CO2 emissions of 142 g/km.
All engine variants are designed for customer-friendly operation with E10 premium petrol 95 RON
The transmissions Shifting comfort combined with efficiency
The 7G-DCT dual clutch transmission and the six-speed manual transmission enable a driving style that is both comfortable and dynamic. Both transmissions are extremely compact and share a series of components with each other.
The 7G-DCT dual clutch transmission is extremely compact, extremely variable with regard to adaptation of the engine speed thanks to seven gears, incorporates an electric oil pump for start/stop capability, shifts gear without any interruptions in tractive power and combines the comfort of an automatic with the efficiency of a manual transmission. The CLA 250 and the CLA 220 CDI are equipped as standard with the 7G-DCT transmission, it is also optionally available for the CLA 200, CLA 180 from June and the CLA 200 CDI from September
The manual transmission, designed along similarly compact lines as a three-shaft transmission, is a close relative of the DCT. Extremely easy gear shifting low shift forces, low internal friction and a low weight are among its most important characteristics

The transmissions Shifting comfort combined with efficiency
The 7G-DCT dual clutch transmission and the six-speed manual transmission enable a driving style that is both comfortable and dynamic. Both transmissions are extremely compact and share a series of components with each other.
The 7G-DCT dual clutch transmission is extremely compact, extremely variable with regard to adaptation of the engine speed thanks to seven gears, incorporates an electric oil pump for start/stop capability, shifts gear without any interruptions in tractive power and combines the comfort of an automatic with the efficiency of a manual transmission. The CLA 250 and the CLA 220 CDI are equipped as standard with the 7G-DCT transmission, it is also optionally available for the CLA 200, CLA 180 from June and the CLA 200 CDI from September
The manual transmission, designed along similarly compact lines as a three-shaft transmission, is a close relative of the DCT. Extremely easy gear shifting low shift forces, low internal friction and a low weight are among its most important characteristics
