2021 Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 Review
It’s the ongoing advancement of a game-changing original. Its four-door coupe-style whispers seductively in your ear. Its industry-advancing voice assistant lets you talk back. And from performance to driver assists, it responds even more eloquently.
Fashion leans further forward. And sends every other car back.
Lean muscle leads the way forward from the clutter of other cars. Sleek LED headlamps and a twin-power-dome hood sweep back from the shark-nose grille, clearing the way for a profile that slices the wind and a panoramic sunroof that embraces the sky.
2021 Mercedes-Benz CLA 250
The 2021 Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 sits on 18-inch multi-spoke wheels. It’s an all-wheel-drive 7-speed transmission and runs on an I-4 engine with 221 horsepower, 5,500 RPM, and 258 pounds of torque at 1,800 RPM.
The first and second-row sunroof with shade has an express open-close sliding function along with tilting glass. The manual folding side mirrors come with power heating. On the edges are turn signal indicators and in the back is the fixed rear window with a defroster. The windshield wipers come with rain detection. The jets are heated so that the liquid doesn’t freeze in extremely cold weather.
The front and rear headlights are LED. The front ones are fully automatic projector beams. Also, it is equipped with fog lights and perimeter lamps.
The Stability Control feature automatically senses when you reach the car’s limits and reduces engine power and/or applies select brakes to help you from losing control. There are front and side airbags and rear bags included. The driver has an additional knee airbag for more safety.
Inside, the driver seat has 10-way adjustability and the passenger seat has 8-way adjustability. Both come with 3-way seat memory. The backbench seat split into 40-20-40 configurations giving you more room when you need to carry something large.
The leather metal-look steering wheel has cruise and audio controls. The car is equipped with Bluetooth connectivity enabling you to stream your favorite podcasts and/or music from your phone. The voice-activated dual-zone in the front keeps you and your passengers comfortable.
Performance
The CLA 250 goes like it shows. Its 221-hp turbo inline-4 efficiently boosts power, torque, and your spirits. And its 4-wheel independent suspension is crisp in corners, composed in the city.
The dual-clutch 7-speed keeps the turbo engine’s torque on tap. Automatic shifts are smoother yet quicker. Standard shift paddles put manual control at your fingertips anytime the mood strikes.
