The Mercedes-Benz coupe-like CLA 200 is the first model in a new family of vehicles built on Mercedes-Benz's modular architecture.

It’s not often that we get to drive a new sedan in a world dominated by SUVs, and that’s even more so in South Africa, which certainly makes the new Mercedes-Benz CLA 200 a breath of fresh air.

The coupe-like CLA 200 is the first model in a new family of vehicles built on Mercedes-Benz's modular architecture and is larger and more spacious than its predecessor, bringing with it a 48V mild-hybrid powertrain and the latest generation of the German manufacturer's in-car technology.

Two specifications are available locally: Progressive and AMG Line.

It retains its coupé-like profile but adopts updated styling and lighting technology.
