Which CLA Estate trim should I choose?
Six everyday trims and two AMG performance versions, and the split between petrol and electric matters as much as the badge.
Image for illustration purposes only. The actual vehicle and specification may differ.
Sport
The entry point, with a 134 bhp petrol engine and front-wheel drive. It brings 18-inch aerodynamically optimised alloys in a 5 Twin Spoke design, part leather upholstery, MBUX navigation with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a fixed panoramic glass roof, a leather multifunction sports steering wheel, adaptive cruise control, climate control, front and rear parking sensors and roof rails.
Sport Executive
Adds Artico artificial leather upholstery, wireless phone charging in the front centre console, a rear centre armrest with stowage and ambient lighting. Wheels move to an 18-inch 5 Spoke alloy. A fixed towbar is available as an option, as it is on Sport.
AMG Line Executive
Adds a rear-view camera and front sports seats over Sport Executive, on 18-inch AMG 5 Spoke alloys. Still the 134 bhp petrol with front-wheel drive as the entry version. A fixed towbar remains an option.
AMG Line
The step up is mostly screen and convenience: the 14-inch MBUX Superscreen front passenger display with touch controls, plus an electrically adjustable driver's seat with memory, a hands-free tailgate and dual-zone climate control. Wheels grow to 19-inch AMG 5 Twin Spoke alloys.
AMG Line Premium
This is where the Electric range starts, with a 221 bhp rear-wheel-drive version. Compared with Sport it adds the large fixed panoramic glass sunroof, reversing camera, the drive parking assist pack with self-steering parking, wireless charging and the 14-inch passenger display, along with a heat pump, rear cross-traffic alert, privacy glass and paddle shifters. A retractable towbar is optional.
AMG Line Premium Plus
Adds multibeam LED headlamps with adaptive highbeam assist plus, a 360-degree camera version of the parking pack, a head-up display and a heated steering wheel. Wheels are 19-inch AMG Multi Spoke alloys, and the entry version is again the 221 bhp rear-wheel-drive Electric.
Then come the two AMG performance versions, both petrol and both all-wheel drive.
AMG
A 302 bhp petrol with all-wheel drive. Over AMG Line it adds MBUX augmented reality navigation, an AMG Performance steering wheel in nappa leather, the keyless go comfort pack, privacy glass with dark tinting, a heated steering wheel, traffic sign recognition and paddle shifters, on 19-inch AMG 5 Twin Spoke alloys.
AMG S
The 415 bhp version, with 0-62 mph in 4.1 seconds for the quickest CLA Estate. It adds multibeam LED headlamps, a nappa leather and microcut microfibre AMG Performance steering wheel, a 360-degree camera, head-up display, an opening panoramic roof and massaging front seats, on 19-inch AMG Cross Spoke alloys.
