Mercedes - CLA 250 - Brochure - 2014 - 2014 (2)

2014 CLA CLA 250 shown above and on cover with optional Mountain Grey metallic paint, Bi‑Xenon headlamps, and Sport Package. DREAM UP No one ever asks “Where do you see yourself five minutes from now?” We focus so much on our long-term goals that we tend to forget the value of here and now. But when you think about it, here is not a destination, and now is but a single frame in the moving picture of life. When Karl Benz invented the automobile in 1886, he couldn’t have predicted what the world would be like 128 years later. But through his imagination and hard work then, he altered the course that took us to now — CLA 250 and turned dreams into a better reality. While Mercedes -Benz continues to drive the future of the car, its owners get to drive the car of the future — and do so while reveling in the here and now. With its one -of-a-kind style, first-of-their-kind innovations and ahead-of-its-class safety, the 2014 CLA is something entirely new in its price class. Yet in soul and substance, it’s what every Mercedes -Benz has always been. It’s a dream car, for sure. But one you can see yourself in, right now. CLA 45 AMG 4matic® Available late Autumn 2013 CLA 250 shown with optional Mountain Grey metallic paint, Bi‑Xenon headlamps, Panorama roof and Sport Package. STREAM LIVE Power domes debuted on Mercedes -Benz hoods in the 1950s, when the first fuel-injected engine broke racing records. The Direct Injection turbo- 4 in the CLA 250 advances its breakthroughs while embodying all its spirit. The diamond-block grille features 230 hexagonal pins, each one uniquely sized, shaped and spaced — and not by a computer-generated algorithm but by the same detail -obsessed human designer who sculpted the car’s body. With the Sport Package, each pin is rendered in radiant, beveled chrome. Mesh grilles in the front apron help define three distinct looks for the CLA. Beyond the deeply sculpted standard air dam, larger intakes punctuate the more aggressive apron of the Sport Package. Functional black winglets and a matte Titanium Grey lower cross-strut manage airflow to the CLA 45 AMG. Pure coupe style flows from the arching roofline into the rakish yet roomy trunk. With frameless door glass and concealed B ‑pillars, the side windows are a study in tensed muscle that conveys the athletic nature of the CLA. Crisp edges draw the eye from the sweeping sculpture of the side profile to the integrated rear spoiler, simultaneously ushering airflow around it for optimal aerodynamic benefits. With exceptionally tight creases, every detail of the body invites — and rewards — your touch. Flared side sills underscore the Sport Package, adding matte Titanium Grey inserts on the CLA 45 AMG. Multiple wheel designs match precise performance with your own sense of style. Standard 17" 5‑spoke alloys feature a bold, high-contrast finish. Or you can opt for either of two 18" wheel designs: an aggressive twin 5-spoke style, or iconic AMG® twin 5 -spoke wheels as part of the Sport Package.1 CLA 250 shown with optional designo Magno Polar matte -finish metallic paint, Bi‑Xenon headlamps, Panorama roof, PARKTRONIC, and Driver Assistance and Sport Packages. Please see endnotes at back of brochure. STEP AHEAD Ask the CLA 250 to perform, and you’ll get something more than an enthusiastic response. You’ll feel as if it’s already anticipated your next move — because in many situations, it has. Its turbo spins up instantly, putting the full force of the engine’s torque on tap in almost any situation. Squeeze the shift paddles, and its dual-clutch transmission has the next gear poised for action before the last one passes the baton. Power out of a corner and a precisely tuned suspension teams up with equallength driveshafts, for an athletic mix of agility and determination. The available 4matic® all-wheel drive2 — developed exclusively for the CLA — varies the torque sent to each wheel progressively. It responds not just to the grip of each tire but your driving style — including your use of the Sport and Manual transmission modes. And when you wind it all down at a red light, the engine takes a rest, too — saving fuel by not using any. When the light turns green, the turbo‑ 4 is fired up and ready by the time you step on the gas — as if the CLA knows exactly what you have in mind. And can’t wait to turn anticipation into action. Intercooled high-pressure turbocharging generates immediate response. The 208‑hp 2.0‑liter 4‑cylinder in the CLA 250 unleashes 258 lb‑ft of torque starting at just 1,250 rpm. Direct Injection and rapid-multispark ignition can fine -tune their performance in milliseconds, turning less gas into more go. ECO Start/Stop can help save fuel and lower emissions by shutting off the engine when you’d otherwise be idling — from traffic lights to traffic jams. The instant you lift off the brake pedal, the engine restarts automatically. Optional 4matic all-wheel drive can vary the torque sent to the front and rear wheels based on grip and the driver’s choice of transmission modes. It’s among the lightest — and the most efficient — AWD systems in its class. Fully independent suspension with front struts and a multilink rear design teams with STEER CONTROL, an innovation of the electromechanical power steering. In corners and other maneuvers, subtle impulses of the steering wheel offer intuitive prompts, to help the driver achieve optimum handling. The CLA 250 Sport Package includes an even sharper sport suspension. CLA 250 shown with optional designo Patagonia Red metallic paint, Bi ‑Xenon headlamps, Panorama roof, PARKTRONIC, and Driver Assistance Package.

Sure, you still can, but who can imagine leaving home without your music, contacts, social networks and a few other necessities of modern life in your pocket? With a car, it’s different. You want its features to help keep you connected to your world, but it’s still for driving. And in the case of the CLA, it’s very much about the joy of driving. The moment you settle into its deeply contoured power driver seat, you feel a bond no virtual device can simulate. You embrace the thick steering wheel, letting the supple hand-sewn leather caress your palms as the shift paddles beckon your fingertips. The crisp gauges and tablet-style screen greet your glance, all from the same height. The aluminum central controller invites your touch, and responds like it’s channeling your thoughts as you take charge of the car’s numerous high-tech features. Even your smartphone feels at home, playing your music wirelessly, or making calls — for those who still do such a thing — at the sound of your voice. It’s a feeling of total connection — to your CLA, your world, and best of all, the road. Silver gauge faces are ringed in aluminum and feature lighted red needles. Matching round air vents evoke the style and quality of a private jet. A color screen between the gauges lets you thumb through a variety of illustrated menus using the buttons on the thick 3 -spoke multifunction steering wheel. A tablet - style central screen teams with the elegant central controller to put a world of entertainment and navigation options within easy reach and clear view. Its vivid, high-resolution color displays adapt to ambient light. Audio and entertainment features start with standard Bluetooth® hands free calling and wireless audio streaming,3 plus a USB port and HD Radio™ stations. Options range from a Media Interface for your iPod®4 to SiriusXM Radio5 to harman/kardon® surround sound, as well as a clever accessory to integrate entertainment, navigation and social media apps on your iPhone.® Navigation options include the 80GB hard -drive -based COMAND® system or an integrated plug -in accessory.6 Both feature advanced voice control. CLA 250 shown with optional Black leather upholstery, Black Ash wood trim, PARKTRONIC, and Driver Assistance, Interior, Multimedia and Premium Packages.

No, really — take a seat in its stylish cabin. The first thing you might notice is how spacious it is in here, a perk well-concealed by the car’s sleek coupe profile. And while there’s room for five — plus a cavernous trunk for your gear — it’s especially well -tailored for four of you. The power front sport seats are deeply contoured, with side bolsters that embrace you in corners, and integrated head restraints featuring built- in ambient lighting. The split-folding back seats echo the front seats, with the same racecar- inspired head restraints. No matter where you sit, you’re surrounded by the quality for which Mercedes -Benz is legendary, from the hand-fitted upholstery, to the hand-polished wood that’s among the four trim options. By the way, if you do post photos to show off your CLA, just be prepared. Everyone’s going to want to be your new best friend. Sport coupe seating embraces the driver and front passenger in support and comfort, with seat-shaped 8‑ way power controls on each door, plus a 3‑position memory and 4‑way power lumbar support. Soothing heat is also available. The 3 ‑passenger rear seat features sport-contoured outboard seats. It folds down in a 60/40 split to expand the already generous trunk.7 Hand -fitted upholstery is precisely top -stitched in MB‑Tex, legendary for its leatherlike softness, durability and easy care. The Interior Package adds supple leather seating, while enveloping the upper dash and doors in top stitched MB ‑Tex. Sleek Anthracite trim spans the dash, or you can opt for cool brushed aluminum, dramatic Black Ash wood or rich Burl Walnut wood. PLAY FAVORITES Style you’d sell your soul for, at a price that lets you keep it. That’s not just how the CLA captures your attention, it’s a long-term plan for keeping you captivated. From its bold looks to the brilliant way each element works — and works together — the CLA is engineered not just thoroughly, but thoughtfully. Available Bi-Xenon headlamps with LED Daytime Running Lamps use their piercing gaze to better reveal the road by night, and the car in daylight. Full-LED taillamps, included with the Bi ‑Xenons, feature distinctive fiber-optic outlines, along with fast-acting LED brake lamps and LED turn signals. A Panorama roof is a class - exclusive option. The super-sized power glass sunroof tilts up for draft-free ventilation, or slides open for a breeze. Sporty and practical, 60/40 - split rear seats can fold down in seconds to increase cargo space while still carrying one or two rear passengers.7 The available heated front seats deliver soothing warmth on chilly days. Three heat settings feature automatic step-down to maintain lasting comfort. Standard power front seats make their 8 -way adjustment easy via seat-shaped controls on the door, plus three memory stations for each seat. The optional harman/kardon LOGIC7® system pumps 450 watts of Dolby ® Digital 5.1 surround sound through 12 custom- engineered speakers. The elegant central controller makes the audio, available navigation and in - car Internet features of mbrace2™ 8 easy to reach, and easy to grasp. Available dual-zone climate control filters dust and pollen as tiny as 0.0002" from the cabin air. Digital controls include fully automatic settings. A stylish tablet- style screen puts all your media front and center. A 5.8" color screen is standard, upgraded to 7" with the Multimedia Package. The accessory Drive Kit Plus for the iPhone® is a multimedia marvel that integrates social, music and navigation apps with the power of Siri.™ 9 Available COMAND® navigation6 features a fast 80GB hard drive with 10GB for storing music files, plus voice control that can learn how you talk. FORESEE Sometimes the best way to see the future is to look right in front of you. For the CLA, that’s true on a number of levels. First of all, it’s a Mercedes -Benz, which means it doesn’t just carry you in a cocoon of high-strength bodywork and advanced restraints, it also comes with a legacy of safety innovation that’s been setting the standards of the industry for over 60 years. From the first crumple zones to the Electronic Stability Program (ESP ®), many features you’ll find on every car today came to exist via the pioneering research and development of Mercedes -Benz safety engineers. And since they never stop their pursuit to reduce the likelihood and after - effects of accidents, the CLA is equipped today with safety systems you’ll not see on other cars for years. Which brings up another way the CLA looks into the future: the one mere seconds in front of you. Using advanced radar and other sensors, it can help you avoid an accident in the precious moments before it happens. After all, it’s one thing to predict the future. The CLA looks out to improve it. COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST uses radar technology that continuously scans the road ahead, and can alert you if it senses that you’re approaching a vehicle ahead at a speed and distance that suggest a collision is likely. As soon as you step on the brake pedal, its Adaptive Brake Assist feature can automatically boost braking to help avoid a collision, or reduce its severity.10 ATTENTION ASSIST ® can alert you if it detects signs of driver drowsiness on long trips, by continually monitoring a variety of driving behaviors. More than 70 variables are measured, starting in the first minutes of each drive, to establish a pattern and determine the warning thresholds accordingly.11 Adaptive braking technology augments the 4 ‑wheel disc brakes to help make driving more reassuring and relaxing. Lift off the accelerator quickly, and Predictive Brake Priming prepares the brakes for quicker response. In the rain, Automatic Brake Drying periodically applies the brakes just enough to sweep water buildup from the discs. During uphill starts, Hill ‑ Start Assist helps to prevent unwanted rollback. And a clever brake HOLD feature lets you keep the brakes applied without your foot on the pedal, a convenience that can make waiting in traffic or at a long stoplight less stressful.12 CLA 250 shown with optional Polar Silver metallic paint, Bi ‑Xenon headlamps, and Panorama roof. Please see endnotes at back of brochure. PREDICT, PREPARE, REACT Blind Spot Assist is an optional system — also available in the Driver Assistance Package — that uses radar to sense when a vehicle is alongside your CLA, in the areas that are not always visible in your mirrors. At driving speeds above approximately 20 mph, a red icon in either side mirror illuminates to alert you of a vehicle in your blind spot. The system also sounds a warning tone if you activate a turn signal while a vehicle is detected.13 Lane Keeping Assist uses technology that monitors ordinary road markings. The system helps detect unintended drifting off-course, and alerts you by vibrating the steering wheel. It’s part of the Driver Assistance Package.11 DISTRONIC PLUS® adaptive cruise control, also in the Driver Assistance Package, is a Mercedes-Benz innovation in convenience and safety that can help make traffic less stressful. Using radar technology, it can adapt your set cruising speed in response to the flow of traffic ahead — automatically slowing until your path is clear again. If the vehicle ahead slows to a stop, it can brake to a full halt, then resume when traffic starts going with just a tap — or even automatically if you pause for only a second.14 The option also incorporates COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST PLUS, a system that can help to detect an impending collision with a vehicle ahead. Even if you’re not using cruise control, it can sound an alert and automatically apply up to 60% of the vehicle’s braking force to help reduce the severity of an impact.12 A rear view camera enhances safety when you’re backing up. The option shows a live view of the area behind your CLA on the color dashtop screen when you shift to Reverse. Steering-dependent on-screen guidelines help you back into a parking space more easily.15 Mercedes-Benz mbrace® is standard on the CLA and offers an ever-growing selection of safety and convenience features.8 Among them, Automatic Collision Notification can place a call for help if an air bag or seat-belt Emergency Tensioning Device is activated. Your car even transmits its location, model and color. The CLA can also shut off its fuel supply, unlock its doors, and switch on its emergency flashers and some interior lights. 10 -way air bag protection is provided by eight standard air bags: two -stage front air bags, front knee air bags and head/torso side -impact air bags for each front seat, and side curtain air bags for both seating rows.16 PARKTRONIC uses sound waves to help you detect nearby obstacles at low speeds. LED displays in the cabin help you negotiate tight spaces. The option includes Active Parking Assist, which sizes up parallel and right-angle parking spots as you drive by, then expertly steers you in, hands-free. It even controls the brakes, and can help you exit the spot later. Daytime Running Lamps help to make your CLA more visible to oncoming motorists. With the optional Bi ‑Xenon headlamps, the DRLs feature bright white LEDs that are as efficient and effective as they are distinctively stylish. COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST ATTENTION ASSIST ® Optional Bi-Xenon headlamps with LED DRLs Optional Blind Spot Assist Optional Lane Keeping Assist Optional DISTRONIC PLUS® Optional rear view camera Optional Active Parking Assist Adaptive braking technology THROWDOWN There’s an old saying that good things come in threes. But in its 46‑year history of creating championship racecars and purebred performance cars for the streets of the world, AMG has never been satisfied with merely good, or simply meeting expectations. Introducing the CLA 45 AMG — stunning evidence that greatness comes in fours. It starts with the first 4‑cylinder ever handcrafted by the master engine builders of AMG. Its peak output of 355 hp thrusts it into the record books as the most powerful 4‑cylinder in production, and the highest hp/liter of any engine today. It channels its turbocharged torque through a four-program AMG SPEEDSHIFT ® DCT 7‑speed transmission. And it sends it to all four tires via AMG Performance 4matic® — developed expressly for the CLA 45. With a 4.5‑second rush to 60 mph,17 it completes the fearsome foursome of power, control, agility and speed. The CLA 45 AMG will be unleashed in Autumn 2013. Until then, a note to other sport sedans: Consider yourselves four‑warned. 355 hp from just 2.0 liters is a feat accomplished through cutting-edge technology and decades of racing experience. The quick-revving twin -scroll turbocharger pumps out a class -leading 26.1 psi of boost, with a liquid -to air intercooler fed by its own low-temperature circuit to cool its super-dense charge. Advanced Direct Injection and rapid-multispark ignition fine-tune their performance with millisecond-quick response. ECO Start/Stop helps it transition from energetic to energy - efficient without missing a beat. And as the revs intensify, an electronically controlled butterfly valve tunes the AMG® exhaust for imposing performance with an intoxicating soundtrack. AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT technology evokes spontaneous response from the 7‑speed dual-clutch transmission. Carbon fiber friction linings optimize the response and durability of the synchros. Aluminum shift paddles, revmatched downshifts, and three driving modes plus a RACE START function offer versatile control and smooth, quick response in any driving arena. AMG performance 4matic® all -wheel drive2 is cleverly integrated with the gearbox, for class -leading lightness. A multiplate clutch in the rear differential instantly varies the torque split, with cornering agility further enhanced by 3‑stage ESP ® and torque-vectoring Curve Dynamic Assist. CLA 45 AMG 4matic shown with Cirrus White paint, and optional 19" AMG 16-spoke wheels in Black, Panorama roof, PARKTRONIC, and AMG Night Styling Package. Please see endnotes at back of brochure. SUIT UP Performance within reach (shown with optional equipment) Optional red-painted brake calipers High-performance hardware supports the driver in every action. The 18" or optional 19" AMG® wheels,1 AMG sport suspension and speed-sensing constant-ratio steering conspire to combine higher lateral acceleration with direct feedback through the steering wheel. Perforated and ventilated disc brakes — 13.8" up front and 13" at the rear — decelerate the CLA 45 AMG with eager, powerful and reliable response on par with its powertrain.12 Optional red-painted calipers turn up the visual heat. Exclusive cockpit elements are as driverfocused as the hardware they engage. Sport front seats feature rich DINAMICA inserts, accented with red cabin stitching and seat belts. Supple leather is also available. Brushed aluminum dash trim is an ideal match for the anodized aluminum air vents and AMG gauges, while carbon fiber and wood options let you tailor it to your own desires. Also available are AMG Performance front seats, sculpted by Recaro® for added support in stunning style. Racing-derived driving controls are as much a signature of AMG as the engine craftsman’s name atop its engine. The flat bottom steering wheel features Nappa leather trim, perforated side grips and a pair of shift paddles. Or opt for the AMG Performance wheel, flattened on top and bottom, with Alcantara® side grips. In the console, the AMG E–SELECT gearshift is a functional sculpture of aluminum and leather. And between the gauges, an AMG menu with RACETIMER is yet another performance perk.

Serious wheel and tire damage may occur if the vehicle is operated on rough or damaged road surfaces or upon encountering road debris or obstacles. These tires are not designed for use on snow and ice. Winter tires mounted on appropriately sized and approved wheels are recommended for driving in those conditions. CLA models are not provided with a spare tire. CLA 250 models are equipped runflat tires. CLA 45 AMG models are provided with TIREFIT sealant and a portable air pump. CLA 250 available with 4matic all-wheel drive starting Spring 2014. No system, regardless of how advanced, can overcome the laws of physics or correct careless driving. Please always wear your seat belt. Performance is limited by available traction, which snow, ice and other conditions can affect. Always drive carefully, consistent with conditions. Best performance in snow is obtained with winter tires. Bluetooth® interface does not provide phone charging or external antenna. Voice interactivity feature is dependent on selected handset. Visit mercedes-benz-mobile.com for details. Phone sold separately. See dealer for a list of approved compatible phones. All iPod® devices are sold separately. Feature not compatible with iPod Shuffle. Apple® adapter may be required for use with 8‑pin “Lightning” connector. See dealer for details.

Sirius U.S. Satellite service available only to those at least 18 years of age in the 48 contiguous United States, DC and Puerto Rico (with coverage limitations). While the navigation system provides directional assistance, the driver must remain focused on safe driving behavior, including paying attention to traffic and street signs. The driver should utilize the system’s audio cues while driving and should only consult the map or visual displays once the vehicle has been stopped in a safe place. Maps do not cover all areas or all routes within an area. Unsecured cargo can become hazardous in a collision. Always secure cargo using the floor-mounted tie-downs.

COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST may not be sufficient to avoid an accident. It does not react to certain stationary objects, nor recognize or predict the curvature and/or lane layout of the road or every movement of vehicles ahead. It is the driver’s responsibility at all times to be attentive to traffic and road conditions, and to provide the steering, braking and other driving inputs necessary to retain control of the vehicle. Drivers are cautioned not to wait for the system’s alerts before braking, as that may not afford sufficient time and distance to brake safely. Driving while drowsy or distracted is dangerous and must be avoided. ATTENTION ASSIST® and/or Lane Keeping Assist may be insufficient to alert a fatigued or distracted driver of lane drift and cannot be relied on to avoid an accident or serious injury. Lane Keeping Assist operates at speeds above approximately 20 mph. Braking effectiveness also depends on proper brake maintenance, and tire and road conditions. Blind Spot Assist may not be sufficient to avoid all accidents involving vehicles in your blind spot and does not estimate the speed of approaching vehicles. It must not be used as a sole substitute for driver awareness and checking of surrounding traffic conditions. DISTRONIC PLUS® adaptive cruise control is no substitute for active driving involvement. It does not react to stationary objects, nor recognize or predict the curvature and lane layout of the road or the movement of vehicles ahead. It is the driver’s responsibility at all times to be attentive to traffic and road conditions, and to provide the steering, braking and other driving inputs necessary to retain control of the vehicle. Drivers are cautioned not to wait for the DISTRONIC Proximity Warning System before braking, as that may not afford sufficient time and distance to brake safely. Rear view camera does not audibly notify driver of nearby objects and is not a substitute for actively checking around the vehicle for any obstacles or people. Images displayed may be limited by camera field of view, weather, lighting conditions and the presence of dirt, ice or snow on the cameras. WARNING: THE FORCES OF A DEPLOYING AIR BAG CAN CAUSE SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURIES TO A CHILD UNDER AGE 13. THE SAFEST SEATING POSITION FOR YOUR CHILD IS IN THE REAR SEAT, BELTED INTO AN APPROPRIATE, PROPERLY INSTALLED CHILD SEAT, OR CORRECTLY WEARING A SEAT BELT IF TOO LARGE FOR A CHILD SEAT. SEE OPERATOR’S MANUAL FOR ADDITIONAL WARNINGS AND INFORMATION ON AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS AND CHILD SEATS. Stated rates of acceleration are estimated based upon manufacturer’s track results and may vary depending on model, environmental and road surface conditions, driving style, elevation and vehicle load.

Depending on the circumstance, these services may be provided by an outside provider, courtesy of Mercedes-Benz Roadside Assistance.
