What's Changed on the 2018 Mercedes-Benz CLA?

If you're shopping for a luxury coupe with striking good looks and a fun-to-drive personality, we recommend adding the 2018 Mercedes-Benz CLA in Lincoln to your considerations. Following a mid-cycle refreshment in 2017, the latest iteration of the four-door coupe arrives with minimal changes--however, there are two new features packages that serious CLA fans will want to take advantage of.

The first is the ultra-limited CLA 250 Ice Edition, which equips the vehicle with Cirrus White exterior paint, matte white foil stripes and blacked-out, 18-inch AMG® wheels. Inside, the cabin gets treated to black MBTex seats with DINAMICA micro-fiber inserts. Also new this year, the Performance Studio Package is exclusively made for the AMG® CLA 45, and offers buyers upgraded interior and exterior outfits, such as Recaro front seats, multi-color ambient lighting, AMG®-illuminated front door sills, and 19-inch, black-and-yellow AMG® cross-spoke wheels.

Comfort and Tech Features Galore

With standard features like 17-inch wheels, automatic wipers, dual-zone automatic climate control, leatherette upholstery, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, and eight-way power front seats, it's no surprise that the CLA is one of the hottest luxury coupes on the market. Plus, there are plenty of interior upgrades available, such as leather upholstery, a hands-free power trunk, auto-dimming mirrors, a panoramic sunroof and bi-LED headlights.

2018 CLA 250 reviews also call attention to the coupe's long list of standard and optional tech features, which includes Bluetooth connectivity, COMAND® infotainment, voice controls, satellite radio, navigation and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto.

2018 CLA Horsepower & Performance

The 2018 CLA 250 for sale in Lincoln carries over last year's 208-horsepower, 2.0-liter turbo-four, a great engine for those seeking to add a little pep to their daily commute. Top torque for this configuration comes in at 258 pound-feet and is routed to the wheels through a dual-clutch, seven-speed automatic transmission.

The AMG® CLA 45 packs a more performance-tuned set-up, increasing output to 375 horsepower and 340 pound-feet of torque. This model also comes standard with a sport suspension, upgraded steering and brakes, and 4Matic all-wheel drive.

2018 CLA Safety

All models of the CLA are outfitted with mbrace2™ emergency telematics, as well as stability and traction control, a rearview camera, a drowsy driver warning system and low-speed forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking.

Other available driver-assist features include blind-spot warning, lane departure warning and intervention, and high-speed forward collision warning.
