With numerous innovations and upgraded standard equipment, the Mercedes-Benz CLA Coupe continues to be a trendsetter in the compact segment. The newly shaped front fascia, revised radiator grille with star pattern and new rear diffuser sharpen the sporty character. Added to this are the modernized graphics in the LED High Performance headlamps, which are fitted standard, and the LED taillights. The new paint colors Hyper Blue (exclusive to the CLA models) and Starling Blue, as well as three additional wheel designs in sizes up to 19 inches, extend the choice for individualization. The new 2024 CLA Coupe will arrive at Ú.S. dealerships later in 2023.

Exclusive interior with high-tech look, fresh colors and new trims

The highlight of the interior is the free-standing dual screens. It includes a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and a 10.25-inch multimedia display as standard. They offer a holistic high-tech experience and create an exceptionally open spatial architecture. The steering wheel is upholstered in Nappa leather as standard, while a heated steering wheel is also available in the AMG Line for the first time. New trim elements in a dark carbon look, open-pore brown linden wood or brown microfiber (AMG Line only) further enhance the interior.

The Progressive equipment line offers three interior colors: Black, Macchiato Beige and Sage Grey. In the AMG Line, the standard seat upholstery in MB-Tex/microfiber is now also available in Bahia Brown. A total of five upholstery colors are available in the AMG Line: Black, Bahia Brown, Sage Grey, Titanium Grey Pearl/Black and Red/Black.

The MB-Tex/microfiber seat upholstery consists largely of recycled materials, 65 percent in the middle section of the seat and 85 percent in the bottom fabric. The use of recycled materials is an important measure on the way to CO2 neutrality. As early as the end of this decade, Mercedes-Benz aims to at least halve the CO2 emissions per passenger car in the new vehicle fleet over the entire life cycle compared to 2020. From 2039 onwards, the passenger car and van fleet aims to be CO2-neutral with offsets across the entire automotive value chain.

Significantly upgraded equipment


Latest generation MBÚX and Burmester® sound system with Dolby Atmos®


The CLA Coupe features the latest generation of MBÚX – with newly designed display styles: 'Classic' provides all relevant driver information, 'Sporty' impresses with the dynamic tachometer and 'Discreet' is limited to the most essential items. Together with the three modes (Navigation, Assistance, Service) and seven color worlds, the instrument cluster and central display can be individualized according to the driver's preference and the situation. The central display offers all previous functions such as navigation, media, phone, and more, and can be operated conveniently as a touchscreen.

The revised telematics system impresses with a new design and improved performance. A new feature is wireless smartphone connectivity via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. For further connectivity, the CLA Coupe has an additional ÚSB-C port and increased ÚSB charging capacity. All ÚSB ports are also now illuminated.

With the activation of online services in the Mercedes me app1, the 'Hey Mercedes' voice assistant becomes even more capable of dialogue and learning. Certain actions can also be triggered without saying 'Hey Mercedes.' The MBÚX voice assistant can also explain vehicle functions.

In conjunction with the latest MBÚX infotainment, the optional Burmester® surround sound system now features the immersive Dolby Atmos® audio experience, which gives music more space, clarity and depth. Dolby Atmos® allows discrete audio elements or objects to be placed in a three-dimensional sound field and adapted to any playback environment.

The new CLA is also available with enhanced driver assistance technology. With the upgraded Driver Assistance Package, Lane Keeping Assist is controlled much more comfortably by the active steering control. The next generation Parking Package, equipped standard, supports longitudinal parking and offers 360-degree visualization for camera-assisted parking using 3D images.

Electrified powertrain


The mild hybrid four-cylinder gasoline engine is equipped standard with an additional 48-volt on-board power supply that supports agility at start-up with 13 hp more power. The new belt-driven starter-generator noticeably improves customer comfort and experience by enabling low-vibration and low-noise engine starting as well as coasting with the combustion engine switched off. During braking and acceleration, the starter-generator recuperates and thus supplies the 12-volt on-board network and the 48-volt battery with electrical energy. This can support the combustion engine during acceleration. The new ECO Score 3.0 motivates drivers to adopt fuel-saving behavior through a differentiated evaluation of the various driving phases.
