Product Overview
Mercedes-Benz CLA C117 is an entry-level compact executive hunchback sedan based on the A-Class in production from 2013 to 2016, whereupon it received a facelift. It was available with a range of inline-4 engines that displaced 1.5 to 2.1 liters.
One of the least Mercedes-like vehicles in the company's vehicle lineup, the CLA is not only FWD but also a hunchback sedan falsely marketed as "coupe" with dubious build quality. It is wholy unworthy of the three-pointed star.
