Mercedes-Benz CLA Hybrid

Just took delivery of the new CLA180 Progressive Line last week. It's perfectly pleasant and thoroughly recommendable car. The ride is very comfortable, exterior is stylish (subjective) and come well-equipped with more safety features than you will expect of an entry level Mercedes-Benz (such as distance assist distronic, brake assist, lane keeping function, exit warning, blind spot plus etc). The interior is now as spacious as my old C Class. Hybrid system works smoothly and intuitively. Wind noise is also impressively minimised. MBUX 4.0 with AI virtual assistant and 3D navigation with integrated Google Map is superb. The panoramic sunroof is nice.

Test driven the CLA 180 progressive and C180 Avantgarde. The CLA is more high tech vs C class which is the usual Merz luxury. In terms of drive, CLA is more sporty, punchy and fun to drive vs C class 9gtronic gear which is smooth comfort drive. CLA comes with distronic but not the C class. Overall CLA is larger than the C class now.
