2020 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class Trims Comparison
2020 CLA-Class trim level differences
The 2020 Mercedes-Benz CLA sedan is offered in three trim levels: CLA 250, AMG CLA 35 and AMG CLA 45. The base CLA 250 is powered by turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder (221 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque) and paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. It comes standard with front-wheel drive but is available with all-wheel drive (4Matic). The AMG CLA 35 also uses a more powerful turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (302 hp and 295 lb-ft) and is paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch as well. The CLA 45 gets the biggest power bump to its turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder (382 hp and 354 lb-ft), which is connected to an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. All-wheel drive is standard with the CLA 45.
Which 2020 CLA-Class trim does Edmunds recommend?
With the abundant standard equipment on the base CLA 250 and the long list of available options, we think it's a smart choice. It comes standard with the class-leading MBUX infotainment system and safety features, including forward collision mitigation, but you can tack on all sorts of AMG-styled exterior options and upgrades such as navigation or a surround-view camera system.
