CLA (C178) [Spy Shots] 2024 Mercedes MMA model (CLA) first pictures

[wagnechris]

I like it.
The picture from behind has an optical distortion in it...

 

[BVC500]

Looks a bit bland and derivative. I'm tired of light bars. Mercedes appears to be focusing more on lighting design than overall exterior design. They need a new design head.

 

[Der Hofmeister]

Proportions look like an after-thought. Similar to the 2er GC, only that this implementation seems even worse. It makes the whole car look like a fat pig. At least the F74 has sharper cues & manages to hide its blown-out stance a little bit better.

They deserve to be sold to BYD or Leapmotor. What a mess

 

[Design FIRST]

As expected, that dreaded "tricycle effect". No surprises and no excitement regarding the cars exterior design. Hopes will be high that the tech will win the hearts and wallets of segment shoppers. The looks...not so much.

 

[Uygar]

Well at least the interior looks good, typical flashy Merc, but the exterior is just…horrifying.
Makes the 2er GC look great, and that says a lot.

 

[Kukobana]

Ugly interior... Designers from China or what's the point?
Ever complained about a tablet in the middle of the dashboard? Then now you have an ironing board in the middle with a shiny black plastic finish. Very exclusive...

Hahaha

Imagine the moment when the concept interior is tried to be carried to production and someone suggests to put that fugly piece of plastic on the passenger side.

“It won’t look bad if we fill it with lots of MB logos!”

 

[Serpens]

Looks bad. especially the back

Terrible

I like the back actually and in person, it looks great. The front is the troubling part imo. I like to say it "isn't that bad" but that makes it not a deal breaker rather than a good design.

There are car markets like China or South Korea, where the success of a car depends nowadays, whether cars have shit like "Can the AI of my infotainment system draw Winnie Pooh carrying 100 kg of wheat and run 10 km on mountains without switching shoulder" or karaoke, 10 million selfie cams or whatever shit westerners might find useless.

One company in Germany , located in a town named after our canine friends or a Simpsons character, where besides the Designer Outlets and 2 Döner shops there is nothing special, found that out in a hard way lol.

Yapacağınız konsolu sikeyim. Hiçkimse mi itiraz etmedi şuna gözünüzü sikeyim bırakıyorum bu işi ya bu ne lanet olsun senin gibi Mercedes e amk bunu tasarlayanın da onaylayanında!!!!!!!

I like the back of the car and the tail light design very much, it turned our surprisingly good, but the new headlight design with light bar over the grill looks crap. I do like the new star backlit grill very much but the lights spoil the front of the car.

 

[Uygar]

Fixed the body lines and proportions, added bigger wheels and got rid of the unnecessary star elements. Looks much better like this imo, but so again, now it looks exactly like the previous generation CLA. It shows how uninspired the MB design team is. Same old design elements for the 10th something year now.

Fiat Egea

Where, exactly?

That front design looks so much better without the light bar. You could be the next future Mercedes design boss, well done!

[Tuffode]

The side looks nice, both the light bar in front and rear look terrible.

I cant belive this is happening...
Ola will destroy this Company....
