The CLA's unprecedented four-door coupe styling helps it to turn heads everywhere it goes, and is easily one of the most attractive models in the market right now, which gives it an edge over its close competitors.

But the CLA isn't all about the pretty face and handsome sheet metal. A true testament to merging form with function, its sleek profile achieves a drag coefficient of just 0.23 – not only the lowest in the segment but it is also the sleekest of all mass production cars. That means the CLA can cut through wind with lesser resistance, and hence helps to achieve better fuel efficiency for the car.

Being the only model to be fitted with a dual-clutch gearbox, there are no qualms about the CLA's ability to cruise with cream-like smoothness. The tight and taut chassis also blesses it with keen handling characteristics and, coupled with the concise steering, it's one of the better handling cars among the lot. This helps to translate normal daily drive into an inspiring and engaging one.

As a badge-bearer of the three-pointed star, the CLA also gets a slew of innovative technological features, such as DISTRONIC PLUS active cruise control and Active Parking Assist. As a whole, the CLA could not have been more complete – capable of stealing the glances, and at the same time retaining its practicality and charming the man behind the wheel.
