Mercedes-Benz CLA: The Four-Door Coupe
The CLA is Mercedes-Benz's stylish compact four-door coupe, blending sleek design with the accessibility of the A-Class platform.
Launched in 2013, the CLA brought four-door coupe styling to Mercedes' entry-level range, sharing its platform with the A-Class but wrapping it in a sleeker, more emotional body with frameless doors and a low roofline.
The CLA offers upscale interiors, turbocharged engines, available all-wheel drive, and the high-performance AMG CLA 35 and CLA 45 versions. A practical Shooting Brake wagon variant is offered in some markets.
The CLA appeals to younger buyers wanting style and prestige at an accessible price, serving as one of the most design-led entry points into the Mercedes-Benz brand.

A gray market car is one that was never certified to meet US safety standards. Gray market imports boomed in the 1980s, a 1988 law ended owner conversions, and today these cars come in through registered importers or once they're 25 years old.
