Some of you might be thinking, with the V177 Mercedes-Benz A-Class Sedan now sold globally (the Z177 A-Class L Sedan with a longer wheelbase is sold in China only), what’s going to happen to the CLA? Well, good news, because the two models will coexist on showroom floors and be sold separately, CNET reports.
During a recent A-Class media event in Seattle, a Mercedes-Benz representative told the publication that the outgoing CLA will continue to be sold until its successor arrives in early 2019. It will be quickly followed by the new GLA as well.
But how will the A-Class Sedan and CLA get along side by side? Apparently, Mercedes-Benz likens the relationship to the E-Class and CLS, in that the CLA will be the more stylish and upscale sibling despite sharing similar powertrains and equipment.
As goes without saying, that inherently makes the CLA the more expensive model. Expect the model range to mirror the A-Class – CLA 200, CLA 220 4Matic, CLA 250, CLAA 250 4Matic as well as the CLA 35 and CLA 45. The luxurious-looking cabin of the A-Class should also be carried over to the CLA.
So, which would you pick, the A-Class Sedan or the CLA?

CLA starting to branch of and be its own specific model.
where is the half-chopped tail ? LOL
I thought it is an ah bengied saga
A-Class Sedan from RM207K & CLA from RM227K.
I don’t understand. What’s the difference between A-sedan and the CLA? Just the C piller that is different?
Gives MBM more reason to price the CLA higher than before while the new A sedan will take over the previous gen CLA pricetag.
Get a bimmer then.
Mercedes is making too many unnecessary models that are too similar to one another. First you have the AMG-GT 4-door that is similar to CLS, now there’s the A-class sedan that’s similar to CLA
Learning from samsung, spawning china specific models too
ohh…. i thought its the latest rendering of new proton saga
200k plus for torsion beam and transverse layout car, probably cheapest way to make a car. Honda jazz would probably better engineered and will outlast this premium badge cheap car.
Luxury cars are not for masses, the spare parts are for those who can afford it
