While a ‘four-door coupe’ might be somewhat of a marketing term, it’s an accurate way to describe the CLA. Offering sleeker looks than a traditional saloon car, the CLA was the first true model in this segment, and slotted beneath Mercedes’ own CLS, which adopts the same sort of principes. Based on the same underpinnings as the A-Class, it offers a range of efficient petrol and diesel engines, including the super-hot ‘45’ model that turns up the thrill factor. With a Shooting Brake body style also being introduced in 2015, it shows that you really can combine style and spaciousness.
If i was buying a used Mercedes CLA, I would prefer the C118, which is the 2nd gen model launched in 2020. This model offers a good upgrade over the previous generation. I will also check if the service history is up to date, and all electrical systems work as they should. I would also test drive the car and make sure all gears change smoothly. I would also listen out for any unusual whirring noises from engine/ turbo area especially on higher mileage cars.
