Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class: pricing and specifications

The Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class sedan will start almost $15K higher than its A-Class sister car when it arrives in showrooms in October.

The local division has confirmed a $49,900 price tag for the entry-level Mercedes-Benz CLA200, making it $14,300 more than the less-powerful A180 base model hatch and $9000 pricier than the mechanically identical A200, though Mercedes-Benz Australia points out the difference between the latter is only $4000 when equally specified.

The $63,400 CLA250 Sport sits in the middle of the petrol-only CLA-Class range that is topped by the brawny CLA45 AMG at $86,900. The CLA250 Sport commands a $13,500 premium over its five-door equivalent, while the four-door AMG is $12K more than the A45 AMG hot-hatch.

The CLA250 Sport gets a larger 2.0-litre turbo four-cylinder with 155kW of power and 350Nm of torque, while the CLA45 AMG produces 265kW and 450Nm and distributes it to all four wheels, helping it sprint from 0-100km/h in 4.6 seconds.
