CLA [Official] Mercedes-Benz CLA Shooting Brake X117 (2016)


The Mercedes-Benz CLA is a series of luxury subcompact executive cars manufactured by Mercedes-Benz since 2013. The first generation was a four-door sedan based on the platform of the W176 A-Class and W246 B-Class compact cars, marketed as a four-door coupé. In 2015, Mercedes-Benz expanded the CLA family to include a station wagon configuration which it markets as a Shooting Brake. As the V177 A-Class sedan took its place as the budget-conscious sedan, the second generation got longer and wider than the W205 C-Class.
Ok if you had to choose between the CLA Shooting Brake and C-Class T-model which you like the best?

For me it would be a C-Class no doubt about it, its the better looker.

Uhm, the difference is so huge it's like they are made by different companies. One from Germany and one from South Korea.
 
March for both LHD and RHD markets?

That was for European dealerships: http://www.shanghaidaily.com/article/article_xinhua.aspx?id=264057

In Germany it's supposed to arrive on March 28 and in Australia just a little later. :)

Mercedes-Benz CLA Shooting Brake Spied Once Again, Coming Early 2016

e585c456adf9c4fd7e624d58ff0a2f5d.webp


Mercedes-Benz's compact range is in the midst of a mid-life refreshing programme, with the A-Class opening the ball earlier this year.

These new spyshots we've just received show the next in line is the CLA Shooting Brake which is set to receive a minor update. We say "minor" because a lot of the new features brought by the recent facelift for the A-Class were already in place on the CLA and CLA Shooting Brake, so there isn't that much to change here.

Take the radiator grille, for example. The A-Class has only just received the concave-shaped grille, while the CLA Shooting Brake was already getting bored with it. The headlights, on the other hand, appear to be new on the CLA Shooting Brake as well, using the new shape and LED signature borrowed from the larger models. They will also ditch the old bi-xenon technology in favor of full LED lights.

Apart from that, the front end of the new CLA Shooting Brake will see a different bumper design which is well covered under the white camouflage. However, it's plain to see it will sport large, gaping air intakes just like the current model, but with a different shape. This does seem to make the CLA Shooting Brake look slightly more aggressive and also better planted on the road.

The side profile remains the same with just the rear of the car receiving some more attention from Mercedes-Benz's designers. Not much is changed here either, the focus being the taillights which keep the same overall shape but will have different graphics now. What kind of graphics? Well, that's the big secret soon to be unveiled. We can also spot some minor modifications in the shape of the final exhaust tips, but nothing to get excited about.

The news in the powertrain department is just as frail, but more novelties are expected to be found on the inside, where the infotainment system will be upgraded to an 8-inch screen with support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. There should also be a new instrument cluster.

Since the CLA Shooting Brake is still a relatively new model - it was launched late 2014 - this facelift which should hit us sometime next year comes a bit early. By the looks of it, though it will bring minor visual implications and focus more on a technological update of the car. Which, if you ask us, isn't exactly a bad thing.

Will be offered with optional LED headlights
A lightly disguised Mercedes-Benz CLA Shooting Brake facelift was seen recently while performing some testing rounds on the Nürburgring.

Almost four months ago, the A-Class five-door hatchback received a mid-cycle nip & tuck and now Mercedes is working on a similar array of revisions for the other members of the family. Seen here is the sleeker yet more practical Shooting Brake which will be offered for the first time with optional LED headlights that are going to come as standard on the AMG model which by the way has already been upgraded from 360 PS & 450 Nm to 381 PS & 475 Nm.

Judging by the small amount of camouflage applied on this near-production prototype, it's safe to say the styling tweaks will be kept down to a minimum as only the front bumper will be changed a little bit along with revised graphics for the lighting clusters. It's going to be the same story with the interior cabin which is bound to receive the A-Class facelift's galvanized switches, updated instrument cluster and the latest eight-inch infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

German media is reporting Mercedes-Benz has plans to show the CLA and CLA Shooting Brake models in March 2016 at the Geneva Motor Show, with the facelifted GLA likely arriving before the end of the year.

Looking like a very minor FL for the CLA Shooting Brake, maybe will follow lead of A-class and have slight tweaks to the interior and exterior as well as suspension (adjustable damper option). Most changes will be with the CLA 45 AMG. Its a pity they dont update the diesel engines, they are underpowered compared to rivals.
 
That red CLA Shooting Brake looks so plain. It needs larger wheels and some LED lights to look much better. I wouldn't buy a car in this boring base spec.
