The Mercedes CLA’s Impressive design
Mercedes has broken the mould again, calling the Mercedes Benz CLA a “four-door coupe.” This is the Mercedes way of saying, the CLA Benz is shockingly sleek. Upon first glance, you are immediately captivated by the bold double lines cutting across the side of the vehicle. These lines give the exterior an unexpected lift- the CLA Mercedes has almost a human-like appearance with attractive prominent cheekbones as you look at the vehicle head-on. Staring at the diamond grille from the front you see the large, iconic Mercedes emblem in a shiny material that matches the exterior trim along the car.

The rear lights on the CLA are quite intriguing, giving this stylish Mercedes coupe a sporty edge. The new CLA is also available in many luxury paint finishes to top off its eye-catching look and feel.
The coupe mould of the CLA, although unconventional, still stays true to its origins with available coupe frameless or chrome/black framed windows. Fans of the Mercedes brand will find familiarity in the elegant roofline of this coupe, then will be pleasantly surprised with its high beltline swooping back down into the familiar rear spoiler lip, giving this coupe an all-around dynamic design.
With its interior, the CLA shifts its focus from pleasing others who will stare as you drive by to giving you the interior cabin that only an elegant car made by Mercedes-Benz could offer. Opening the door of the car disrupts the prominent lower line cutting across the CLA’s exterior. Continuity and balance are restored as you follow the line into the interior panelling of the door.

Let your eye graze over the sporty seats of the CLA interior. Choose from 12 different colours to suit the Mercedes coupe to your tastes. The ambient lighting will guide you to notice the sophisticated use of wood and aluminium trim throughout the interior cabin- a testament to Mercedes’s dedication to delivering luxury quality.
In the centre of all this luxury stands the 20.3 cm media display that is thin, like a tablet. Underneath there are three air vents with an industrial design for a bit of ruggedness.
