The 2017 Mercedes-Benz CLA Gets Facelift

2017 Mercedes-Benz CLA Release Date

The Mercedes-Benz CLA is the newest production car under Mercedes-Benz rule by almost a decade. It was first introduced as a 2013 model, opening the doors to the world of Mercedes-Benz to a new demographic. For the first time ever, drivers could get the best of both worlds in luxury and affordability. Now, less than five years later, the CLA is at the top of its game and is already going under the knife to get some work done on the front bumper. The 2017 Mercedes-Benz CLA release date is likely to occur October of this year.

2017 Mercedes-Benz CLA250 Coupe Release Date

The CLA250 is the most affordable vehicle in the Mercedes-Benz USA family. At $32,050 MSRP, you would expect the CLA to lack power and features. This is not the case, even with the base-model CLA250. Currently, the CLA250 comes with a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine that produces 208 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. For 2017, it is expected that the CLA will feature up to 218 horsepower with a similar increase in torque.

2017 Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG Release Date

Even with the minor facelift and the slight power increase, the 2017 CLA will still be considered a carry-over model. The CLA45 AMG currently has 360 horsepower, which will be increased to about 380, giving CLA enthusiasts an excuse to upgrade.

The CLA250 is available with front- or all-wheel drive, but the CLA45 AMG is only available with 4MATIC all-wheel drive.
