Simply put, the CLA is designed to capture admiring eyes, not get caught by the passing air. It's one of the most aerodynamic cars on the road, wind-tunnel-tuned to enhance not just efficiency but roadholding, stability and even poor-weather visibility. Sport and Night Packages add AMG wheels and lower bodywork to hug the road even tighter.

Design
Slices through the wind. Carves through the corners.
The Sport Package. From its racing soul, to your racing heart.
Like every Mercedes-Benz, a CLA 250 has racing in its blood. The Sport Package wears its soul on the surface with AMG styling and radiant chrome grille pins, and where it meets the road with 18-inch AMG wheels. The Night Package cloaks the Sport Package elements in gloss black accents on the bodywork and bicolour wheels.
Performance
Seven quick speeds. Twin shift paddles.
Fuel-friendly and fun like a manual, with the relaxing comfort of an automatic: The 7-speed DCT transmission gives you both. The racing-derived dual-clutch design makes every shift lightning-quick yet liquid-smooth. DYNAMIC SELECT offers different modes for your driving mood. Shift paddles on the steering wheel put power in your hands.
Turns torque into traction. Turns corners into action.
Quick to respond, light in weight, and remarkably efficient, variable-torque 4MATIC all-wheel drive can take the CLA 250 to higher levels of agility and all-season confidence. As the grip changes at each wheel, 4MATIC can instantly and variably send up to 50 percent of the engine's power output to the rear wheels, on demand.
Technology
Works like high-tech. Feels like second nature.
From COMAND navigation with LINGUATRONIC voice control to Active Parking Assist, the CLA offers advanced options to help you go far and near, or even lend a hand before you get in: KEYLESS-GO lets you unlock the doors with just a touch, and new HANDS-FREE ACCESS lets you open the trunk with a convenient foot motion under the bumper.

[3]*Active Brake Assist may not be sufficient to avoid an accident. It does not react to certain stationary objects, nor recognize or predict the curvature and/or lane layout of the road or every movement of vehicles ahead. It is the driver's responsibility at all times to be attentive to traffic and road conditions, and to provide the steering, braking and other driving inputs necessary to retain control of the vehicle. Drivers are cautioned not to wait for the system's alerts before braking, as that may not afford sufficient time and distance to brake safely. See Operator's Manual for system's operating speeds and additional information and warnings. ATTENTION ASSIST may be insufficient to alert a fatigued or distracted driver of lane drift and cannot be relied on to avoid an accident or serious injury. Blind Spot Assist may not be sufficient to avoid all accidents involving vehicles in your blind spot and does not estimate the speed of approaching vehicles. It should not be used as a sole substitute for driver awareness and checking of surrounding traffic conditions.
Driving while drowsy or distracted is dangerous and must be avoided. Lane Keeping Assist may be insufficient to alert a fatigued or distracted driver of lane drift and cannot be relied on to avoid an accident or serious injury. Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is no substitute for active driving involvement. It does not adapt cruising speed in response to stationary objects, nor does it predict the curvature and lane layout of the road ahead or the movement of vehicles ahead. It is the driver's responsibility at all times to be attentive to traffic and road conditions, and to provide the steering, braking and other driving inputs necessary to retain control of the vehicle. Drivers are cautioned not to wait for the system's alerts before braking, as that may not afford sufficient time and distance to brake safely. Braking effectiveness also depends on proper brake maintenance, and tire and road conditions.
