Product Overview

Mercedes-Benz CLA C117 facelift is an entry-level compact executive sedan in production from 2016 to 2018. It was available with a range of inline-4 engines that displaced 1.5 to 2.1 liters.

Compared to the pre-facelift Mk1 CLA, the facelift brought no meaningful changes. Mercedes only tweaked some exterior and interior elements and called it a day. Some engines did receive a small power bump, notably the CLA 45 AMG got 20 more hp.

Engineers at Mercedes-Benz clearly made a great effort in aerodynamics, with a class-leading 0.23 coefficient of drag to show for it. The same cannot be said for other aspects of the chassis
