It's got all the fancy lines and sleek design of the bigger CLS and A-Class with the aggressive front grille. Mercedes is hoping this will help the CLA appeal to a younger buyer. The coupe looks means the boot opening is a bit awkward but the boot is practical with 471 litres of space which is about 130 litres more than the A-Class hatchback.
The CLA is another smart addition to the ever growing Mercedes-Benz line-up and it certainly looks the part. It does have some problems and flaws in some areas but this car could just about be stylish enough to forget all that.
