Concept Official: Mercedes-Benz Concept Style Coupe

[soulless]

So this must be a preview of the CLA... Not bad!

Hope so..let's pray just change the mirrors!

Stared for some time for this and the photo from the Hungarian factory and the details mainly match with this not with the rendering from Autobild but the look of the spied-prototype is different for me and if the CSC = CLA why are the debut dates different? ;( time to face the truth boys... ;( IT WON'T BE A CLA FOR 90% ;(

I'm not sure about the Audi, that looks production ready except for the mirrors and what not. The proportions are perfect and I don't think they will change at all on the Audi. That is pretty much the A4 from a generation ago in size and proportions.

I agree, not much will change, but the engine will be tranversly mounted.

If the styling is not significantly diluted and Mercedes can keep the prices sensible, I can easily see this thing killing everything in its segment.

That is the key. I would hate to walk up to the dealership and see this thing prices a $47k fully loaded unless it's a AMG. Pricing is everything.

I would buy this one even for 50 k CLS was some kind of vision when it went into production - the headlights with so much LEDs etc so maybe the CSC= CLA ? Please remember that mercedes is a pioneer in 4d coupe so maybe even now they would like to mark their position on this market by launching this csl as CLA (hardly to believe for me but lets pray

[purplehenk]

Have a nice meal

 

[soulless]

boys come on... don't be a dreamers..ITS MERCEDES! the headlights technology, front bumper (not sure but the concept a-class had the same and now...) the rearlights (not sure about it) and the door handles will go out! If Mercedes would get their concepts into the production versions we will all now have one piece of F-800 haha got ya cheers DON'T FORGET THAT IT'S MERCEDES!

You know what I wish, after looking at that video?

That the CLS would have been a properly sized and RWD version (same as the real thing in this aspect) of THIS! It's kind of everything I wanted from it. I wish they could implement the refinement of the fussy lined dropping-line look from this baby.

Do that, and give me an extra inch of headroom so I can fit inside of it, and you've got a big picture dream car.

Looks like it's longer than the C?

Billed as a junior CLS, the CLA will sit below the existing C-class sedan in price and features in the Mercedes-Benz lineup. However, the Concept Style Coupe car hints that Mercedes' entry-level sedan will be 1.9 inches longer, a considerable 4.8 inches wider and—thanks to its swoopy turret—some 1.9 inches lower than its long-established four-door stablemate.

Here are the first high-res pictures. Absolutely love it.

So it's based on the A platform but longer than the C? I'm trying to figure out how that makes sense. It's clearly a FWD based on its proportions. That would mean the overhangs would have to be gigantic to make up for that extra length.

As for the width, an extra 4.8" over the larger platformed C Sedan is insane as well. Therefore it looks like that very chunky and puffed out sheetmetal on the sides will perhaps make it to the production version.

 

[Wolfgang]

The next C will probably be larger than the present one?

As a result of the CLA's introduction, the next generation C-class, known internally under the code name W205, is set to retain standard rear-wheel drive and will grow in size, increasing in length and width but retaining much the same height.

There may also be a secret new BMW CLA in the wings for 2015?

Among the CLA's premium-brand four-door rivals will be a sedan version of the third-generation Audi A3 also due out in 2013 and a secret new sedan version of the BMW 1-series that is undergoing conceptual development with a view for introduction in 2015.

Ah, ok that makes more sense, they're referring to its size related to the current C.

 

[Tarek]

Those headlights are just epic..definitely SL worthy.|

Lol...Man please! The CLS is flawless, but I'm sure the facelift version might implement something from this concept.

Something is amiss here. On one hand, the vision is 1.9 inches longer than the current C, but on the other is 13.6 inches shorter than the A? By this math, the new A is 15.5 inches longer than the current C?! Isn't the A a two-box design ala Golf? How can it be longer than a sedan, never mind one sitting in a bigger class?

These official measurements also make it 13.6 inches shorter, the same width and 1.4 inches lower than the new A-class—a car with which the CLA shares its platform, chassis and driveline architecture.

On the other hand, this will make the perfect replacement for my 2012 Elantra daily driver. Some type of hybrid tech and AWD, and I am set, so long as the other car is a rear wheelie.

Good catch. The article should probably say the CLA is 13.6 inches longer than the A with 169 inches.
