The A-Class is still available in other markets, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorauthority.com\/news\/1137381_2023-mercedes-benz-a-class-b-class-revealed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">where it has received its own update<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The tweaks made to the 2024 CLA-Class are mild, even by mid-cycle update standards. The exterior changes are limited to a revised front fascia and grille, and a new diffuser design at the rear. There are also new graphics for the lights at both ends, which feature standard LED technology, and the color palette has been expanded with a Hyper Blue color that&#8217;s exclusive to the CLA-Class.<\/p>\n<p>Inside, Mercedes provides standard 10.3-inch screens for the instrument cluster and infotainment system, with the latter running the latest version of Mercedes&#8217; MBUX interface complete with voice activation. The steering wheel gets nappa leather trim as standard, and an AMG Line steering wheel is available as an alternative for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>Other standard features include automatic high beams, folding and auto-dimming exterior mirrors, a system that helps drivers park in tight spots (but doesn&#8217;t do it for them), and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A Burmester audio system with Dolby Atmos is available, as is Mercedes&#8217; Driver Assistance Package, which includes a variety of active safety features.<\/p>\n<p>The 2024 CLA-Class is offered exclusively in a CLA 250 grade that comes with a 2.0-liter turbo-4. The engine is rated at 221 hp but a mild-hybrid system can provide a temporary boost of 13 hp during high-load situations. Buyers can choose between standard front-wheel drive or available all-wheel drive, and with either configuration 0-60 mph acceleration takes about 6.3 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>Buyers seeking more performance will want to check out the AMG grades as these offer up to 416 hp.<\/p>\n<p>Pricing information for the 2024 CLA-Class will be announced closer to the market launch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mercedes-Benz is in the process of implementing mid-cycle updates to its compact range, and the latest to receive an update is the CLA-Class.
