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

[Mr. Mercedes]

The 1.3 engine in the current A-class is shared with Renault in some models and as @leylandi mentioned the 1.5 diesel K9K engine is from Renault. The Mercedes small platform is designed or does not come from Nissan or Renault, but Infiniti used this platform for their baby Q30 model launched in 2018.

And the Q30 was supposedly not successful and was going to be axed by Infinity.

Glad to see these comments. Didn’t have the energy to argue about. Misinformation is just a thing nowadays. It’s fashionable.

Lol exactly! It's draining replying to BS.

The current generation CLA is deceptively pretty in person

It really isn't.
But it's better than the 2er GC if that's what you want to hear.

It is. And far far better than the toad of a BMW.

But if saying that makes you feel a little better, sure go for it.

This may be the first initial drive of the new CLA.

[Design FIRST]

Immensely efficient. Far better interior fit and finish promised. Design appears "acceptable". Perhaps M-Bs most significant EV vehicle and an accurate prelude of what is to come.

So does this replace the current CLA right away or are they sold side by side for a while?

I imagine it would stay side by side with the current until the combustion variant launches, at which point the current cla will be dropped.

Smart frontlights.

Dreadful.

I noticed they have finally removed the cheap black, shiny plastic trim on the door cards and replaced with nice-looking aluminium metallic trim—yippee!! Does it look like the seat controls are back to the old style and not capacitive?

@leylandi, thanks for the very interesting photos posted, shame about the shots of the interior seen from the side and not from the front

 

[Luca]

from the photos it would seem that the screen does not follow a continuous line, but the one on the passenger side is more recessed

 

[Luca]

Sorry if I intervene again, I took a still image of the interior and the screen extends across the entire dashboard, perhaps you can also notice the camera
