Even though Mercedes-Benz has plans to introduce the
all-new A-Class sedan in the future, that doesn’t mean it has forgotten about
its other compact sedan, the CLA. The next-generation CLA was sighted in
prototype form for the first time recently, and there appears to be a number of
visual differences.
At the front, we see new designs for the bumper and
headlights in order to further differentiate it from the new A-Class models.
Moving to the rear, the taillights appear to be inspired by those on the CLS,
albeit with revised graphics within them.
The new CLA will likely be underpinned by the same
platform used for the upcoming A-Class hatchback and sedan – Mercedes-Benz’s
next-generation front wheel drive platform, reportedly called Modular Front
Architecture 2 (MFA2).
It should also share a similar interior, as well
as engines that include a mix of petrol and diesel units. There should also be
a high-performance version – the CLA 45 – along with the possibility of plug-in
hybrid and even all-electric versions.
