Mercedes-Benz recently announced the arrival of the
V177 A-Class Sedan later this year, but it still hasn’t forgotten about the
CLA. Here it is in prototype form as it undergoes testing on the Nürburgring'
The CLA stands out from its sedan sibling with its
low-slung roofline that leads to a less steeply-raked rear window. At the back
is also where you’ll spot the sleeker, more angular taillights and number plate
that is mounted further down like on the latest CLS.
These two mules captured by Paultan spy photographers
are also of different trim levels, where the car bearing ‘175’ is the fancier
one with LED headlamps, while the ‘174’ car gets halogen items instead –
multi-spoke alloys are present on both.
As with the latest A-Class, the CLA will likely ride
on the new Modular Front Architecture 2 (MFA2) and receive new technologies
like the Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) and line-up of petrol and diesel
engines. Other variants expected to join the mix include an estate as well as
high-performance AMG models.
