2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG vs 2015 Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG

2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG vs 2015 Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class, will be released to dealerships everywhere later this year. That means it is time for a comparison between the 2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG vs. 2015 Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG. The 2016 is not a redesigned model, but the carry-over does have some special upgrades that give it some fun advantages over the 2015 model. Do you want to know what they are? Of course it is no surprise that the new model is better than the previous year. It happens every year. There is just something awesome that comes with learning about the new features and upgrades that makes us want to write about them.

2016 Mercedes-Benz COMAND Navigation

2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG Engine

First things first; horsepower. The CLA is by no means known for its performance, especially when compared to other Mercedes-Benz models such as the E-Class or the SL-Class. That being said, it is still a sports car and the CLA45 has more than enough power to get you to your destination before everyone else. The 2015 redlines at 355 horsepower and, for now, is still the worlds most powerful four-cylinder production engine. For 2016, Mercedes-Benz was able to squeeze 20 more ponies out of the same turbocharged 2.0-liter engine. A four-cylinder engine pushing 400 horsepower? What a concept.

2016 CLA45 AMG Shooting Brake Design

The new CLA45 will look slightly different than the current model. It will have a more aerodynamic hatchback styling that sort of resembles an tiny, angry, station wagon. The new design is eye-catching and will certainly give the 2016 a handling advantage.

Mercedes-Benz Dynamic Select

2016 CLA45 Standard Features

The 2015 Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG vs 2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG standoff doesn’t end with a little more power and faster shifts. The 2016 will come equipped with all the latest in Mercedes-Benz technology including Dynamic Select, COMAND navigation, and a new standard 7-inch display with smartphone linking capabilities.
We are eagerly awaiting the U.S. arrival of the 2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG. We will let you know when you can pick one up from Mercedes-Benz of Scottsdale. Until then, stop in and take a 2015 for a spin.
