Do I see a light in the seats?

Do I see a light in the seats?

Yes. Starting with the A-Class hatchback, the ambient lights include a light projecting down from the bottom of the headrest.

Time for Head and Shoulders, kids.

This car looks terrible at every level.

I think I prefer the A3 Sportback.

Something bugs me about the proportions .....and like the regular CLA, the 'Mitsuoka Orochi' undulating curves (particularly towards the rear of the vehicle and the rear lights) are not my taste.

However, the interior looks great.

Some interesting details. The "racing stripes" on the upholstery are perhaps a little tragic .....although I will admit they are stylish; they'll match the Adidas tracksuits of those who'll likely lust after this car.

Agree. The lights, front and rear, need to be trimmed down in size.

This car looks terrible at every level.

Agreed.

The brand new 2015 Mercedes-Benz CLA Shooting Brake and CLA45 AMG Shooting Brake were recently unveiled privately at the 4Matic experience event in Hochgurgl, Austria and we were fortunate enough to be invited along for an early viewing of the car.

Best A class of the range. The far-fetched or rather sci-fi profile of MB's shooting brake makes the awkward front section, and the rear light work out better than on traditional shapes. If i'm ever going to get an A class this is it.

Do I see a light in the seats?

Yeah, I thought that was interesting. Not sure if it's necessary but I like it.

This car looks surprisingly delicious in these real life photos...hummm the temptations.

The Shooting Brake has slightly more headroom:

That a very dismal, dreary looking delivery room lol.

[Mr. Mercedes]

It's actually not bad in person. Not with all the s-coupes I saw anyway.

MB Passion confirmed the CLA Shooting Brake arrives in January. Details to follow.

I actually do like this car, think it's better looking and a much more practical car than the CLA saloon/coupe

They managed, somehow, to un-blech the Mercedes-Blech CLA. No mean feat.

 

[Wolfgang]

The practical, un-bleched CLA Shooting Brake (length/width/height: 4.630/1.777/1.435 mm) will be shown to the press at the upcoming auto show in Detroit, but not to the public, as the Shooting Brake celebrates its European premiere at the Auto Show in Brussels, from January 16 to 25, 2015. There are no plans to offer it in the US at present, but this may change in the future. Two diesel engines and three petrol drivetrains are said to be in the pipeline, optionally with 4MATIC. The CLA 45 AMG 4MATIC Shooting Brake will likely debut at the same time, as will the "OrangeArt Edition".
