The new Mercedes-Benz CLA Class has been revealed in Las Vegas this evening. Based on the new A Class<\/a>, the fundamental spec list is not a revolution. Yet the CLA Class is an important model for Mercedes-Benz nonetheless. They sold 750,000 examples of the previous generation. The German company will be hoping for similar success with the latest generation!<\/p>\n

Underneath, the CLA Class uses the same technology as the A Class. This means a decoupled multi-link axle at the rear and the Direct-Steer system as standard. A larger stabiliser bar and optional active adaptive damping which should ensure that it drives extremely well.<\/p>\n

In terms of design, the new Mercedes-Benz CLA Class retains the same basic proportions as the outgoing model. It is essentially a stunted CLS Class with features of the A Class thrown in and reduced interior space. The side windows appear narrower this time and the rear looks cleaner with smaller rear tail lights. Drag coefficient is 0.23.<\/p>\n\r\n
