Exterior Design

The 2026 Mercedes-Benz CLA is instantly recognizable for its flowing, coupe-inspired silhouette. A gently sloped hood leads into a sharply raked windshield, while the roofline sweeps gracefully toward a tapered rear window and compact trunk. The 2026 Mercedes-Benz CLA adds an AMG®-Lite package that offers 18-inch wheels and a rear spoiler for a more bold look. The entire stance feels athletic and ready to spring forward, perfectly matching the lively performance of this compact luxury sedan. With standard 18-inch wheels and a variety of available wheel designs, you can shape the CLA's look to match your personal style.

The new CLA 250+ and CLA 350 4MATIC® EVs add aerodynamic details to set them apart. Other EV details include smooth grille panels, optimized airflow elements, and optional LED Digital Light headlamps with sharp style.

Interior Design

Slip inside the cabin, and the "entry-level" designation becomes meaningless. Ambient interior lighting wraps around the dash and doors, creating a warm and modern glow. The dashboard is streamlined and elegant, with turbine-style air vents that add a sporty touch. Power-adjustable front seats and a tech-focused center stack elevate the cabin with everyday comfort and luxury.

Available sport front seats offer enhanced bolstering for your weekend drives through the Rocky Mountains, while power seats with three-position memory make it easy to store and recall your preferred setup-perfect for households that share the wheel. Plus, the new AMG® Night Package adds sport seats and a sport steering wheel.

New CLA EV models offer a panoramic fixed-glass roof, synthetic leather furnishing, and heated power-adjustable front seats as standard equipment.

Performance

Powering the 2026 CLA is a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that delivers a thrilling blend of performance and efficiency. With 221 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, the CLA can sprint from zero to 60 mph in just under six seconds-rivaling the numbers of many compact sports cars. Mild-hybrid assistance adds an extra 13 horsepower when needed, giving you quick bursts of acceleration for highway merges or city traffic. The AMG® Night Package offers lowered suspension and upgraded brakes to enhance your driving experience.

The CLA 250+ is powered by a rear-mounted electric motor and 85-kWh battery, producing 268 horsepower. The CLA 350 4MATIC® uses two electric motors, delivering 349 horsepower and giving you standard 4MATIC® All-Wheel Drive. On a full charge, the CLA 250+ offers 317 miles of electric range, while the CLA 350 4MATIC® gives you 312 miles of range.

Technology

The 2026 Mercedes-Benz CLA continues to impress with its cutting-edge technology suite. Two standard 10.3-inch widescreen displays sit side-by-side in a single glass panel, integrating both the digital instrument cluster and central infotainment screen. This setup offers deep customization, allowing you to arrange navigation, media, performance metrics, and other tile layouts to suit your preferences during drives around Lakewood.

Voice Control with Natural Language Understanding and "Hey Mercedes" activation lets you interact with the system hands-free. From navigation directions to climate adjustments, you can command a wide array of functions with natural speech.

Mercedes-Benz CLA Electric models come with unique tech integration. Standard features include a large 14-inch center touchscreen with the latest MBUX infotainment software, a digital instrument display, built-in navigation, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. A wireless smartphone charger is available, plus an upgraded 10-speaker sound system, a digital key, and a head-up display.

Safety

Mercedes-Benz prioritizes safety in every model, and the 2026 CLA is no exception. Standard safety features include forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and lane keep assist. Parking assist is now standard as well, giving you confidence when maneuvering into tight spots around Aurora and Centennial.

The CLA 250+ and 350 4MATIC® EV trims come with adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping system, blind spot intervention, and evasive steering assist. A 360-degree camera is optional.
