Mercedes CLA 200 Test Drive by Anastasia Tregubova

Test drive of Mercedes CLA 200 by Anastasia Tregubova. Personally, I never liked the Mercedes CLA, I couldn’t find a single angle on the CLA to fall in love with. Whenever I see the CLA on the road, it reminds me one thing! CLA is created to fill a gap on the market. There is CLS and smaller one CLA. It is the basic rule of the game, everyone does it.

However, then Anastasia Tregubova tests the CLA 200, I watched the whole footage. And I think 18.309 people share the same thoughts with me. The interesting fact, the whole test drive is in Russia and I am sure that half of those viewers have no idea about Russian. We only watch it :)

And please Anastasia, speak in English for us :)

Technical details, Mercedes CLA 200 is powered by a 1.6-lt turbo petrol engine with 156 HP and 250 Nm of torque. CLA 200 is coupled with 6-speed manual for 7-speed double clutch automatic, go for the automatic. And only needs 8.6 seconds to reach 100 km/h with the top speed of 230 km/h.

Mercedes CLA from Istanbul for #PinItForwardUK

Mercedes CLA, the tiny CLS! I know this does not sound fair but CLA is the smaller size version of the legendary CLS. Despite this resemblance, CLA did manage to create its own group of fans!

CLA is based on the new Mercedes A-Class, they share the same platform. Therefore, CLA is a front-wheel drive car. Unlike the CLS, you will experience relatively more under steer than you expected in a Mercedes. My personal opinion with front-wheel drive is not associated with sympathetic thoughts. But we cannot forget the manufacturing cost of rear-wheel drive and its hunger for fuel for smaller size engines. When you add these items into equation front-wheel drive is a plausible solution, which I really don’t appreciate that much.

Never mind, you won’t be disappointed with the CLA. It does look way different than the A-Class, there is no true competitor of CLA and you will be quite unique. And CLA is relatively lowered priced than the CLS!

Here some photos from Mercedes-Benz Turkey, during the Istanbul Fashion Show! This post is for #PinItForwardUK
