2024 Mercedes Benz CLA 250, AMG 35S, and 45S Unveiled With New Look and Increased Power

The refreshed 2024 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class range has been revealed, featuring an updated look, improved technology, and powertrain upgrades. The updated models will go on sale in the US later this year, with pricing to be announced closer to their arrival.

The entry-level models in the range include the front-wheel-drive CLA 250 and the all-wheel-drive CLA 250 4Matic. Both models continue to use a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 221 horsepower. The powertrain has been updated with a 48-volt electrical system and a belt-driven starter-generator that produces an additional 13 horsepower for smooth driving when the start-stop system turns off the engine.

The vehicles feature an updated nose with a redesigned front fascia and a star pattern for the mesh in the center grille. The headlights have new graphics inside the lamps. At the back, the designers have tweaked the diffuser. The refreshed CLA 250 models will be available in the new colors Hyper Blue and Starling Blue, and there will be three additional wheel designs.

Inside, the vehicles come standard with 10.25-inch screens for the instrument cluster and infotainment display. The MBUX software has new Classic, Sporty, and Discreet display styles. The steering wheel is covered in Nappa leather and a heated version is an option. The updated cabin trim choices include a dark carbon-look material, open-pore brown linden wood, or brown microfiber. The optional Burmester stereo has been updated with Dolby Atmos functionality.

The CLA’s AMG lineup includes the 35 and 45 S models. The 35 also gains a 48-volt electrical system and belt-driven starter-generator. The turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine continues to produce 302 horsepower. It now connects to an eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox, rather than the current seven-cog setup.

The 45 S now produces 416 horsepower, an increase from the previous 382 horsepower. Torque also increases to 369 pound-feet, up from 354. Mercedes has not changed the estimated time for acceleration to 60 miles per hour, which remains at 4.0 seconds.

The AMG models also receive a new front fascia. The headlights and taillights have revised graphics. The 45 S is available with the AMG Aerodynamics Package Plus, which includes a fixed rear spoiler. Inside, the new upholstery options include a mix of Sage Grey and Black MB-Tex or an optional combination of Red and Black leather. Open-pore brown linden wood trim is also available. An updated steering wheel has two stacked spokes at the 3 and 9 o’clock positions.
