AutoExec Summary
The second-generation Mercedes-Benz CLA, arriving in Australia later this year, boasts a modern design, spacious interior, and cutting-edge tech. It’s bigger and sportier, with standout features like the MBUX infotainment system and augmented reality navigation. However, it has some drawbacks, such as an over-sensitive ‘Hey Mercedes’ system and active safety features. The CLA 250 4Matic, priced in the mid-$60,000s, offers strong performance with a 2.0-litre turbo engine. Despite minor flaws, the new CLA is a significant upgrade and expected to remain popular.
