The 2024 Mercedes-Benz CLA is a petrol sedan with FWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the C118 LCI generation. The CLA 250 is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured CLA 250 version develops 224 hp and 350 Nm (258 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 6.3 seconds, which is decisively quick for everyday road use. Top speed is listed at 250 km/h (155 mph). Its power output is about 18% below the peer average. Its acceleration is close to the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Fuel economy and range
The listed fuel consumption is 6.9 L/100km. Fuel-tank capacity is 43.0 litres (11.4 US gallons). Recorded CO2 emissions are 157 g/km. Consumption, emissions and range can be measured under different regional procedures, so like-for-like comparisons should use the same market and test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 4,688 mm (184.6 in) in length, 1,830 mm (72.0 in) in width, and 1,439 mm (56.7 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 2,729 mm (107.4 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 460 litres (16.2 cu ft). The cabin is configured for 5 occupants. Listed curb weight is 1,510 kg (3,329 lb). That cargo volume is about 6% above the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
The model range
The recorded line-up consists of CLA 250 and AMG CLA 35 4MATIC. Across the range, the specifications span 224 hp to 306 hp and 4.9 s to 6.3 s, while listed starting prices run from $40,600-$50,200. Drivetrain, battery or engine choice, wheels and market equipment can all change the final figures, so the version table should be used when choosing between them.
In perspective
Compared with nearby petrol sedan models from the same period, the 2024 Mercedes-Benz CLA is strongest on price, while power stands out as the principal numerical compromise. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
