Comprehensive review👍🏼. Would love to know your thoughts on the 250e Shooting Brake?

I would love to see the AMG 45S version of this review

Cheers, Thomas! 😎 Great review. Always appreciate a review, especially in these scary times. I have been waiting for this one since I first saw it. Really cool CLA Shooting Brake. Since there is no A-Class Estate, I call this an A-Class estate to keep myself sane, lol. I agree with you on the colour as well. I love it, especially at night in the city. The digital display is very nice. I have seen the base screens, and they are really nice as a base version. They all come with MBUX, so you are not really losing anything not getting the other screens. The Store you clicked there has Daimler's online service you get when buying the car. We can make payments for anything like parking, hotel rooms, meals, servicing, and many other digital banking possible through there. Really awesome. My theory on why the fuel economy is not the best is because of the filters that Mercedes-Benz put in there to meet EU regulations. That is my theory, and I felt that with the new GLE (not the hybrid). But I do not mind it. The brake intervention is something Mercedes-Benz has been doing for years. Even the GLK had it, and I am used to it. Their intervention system is the first I have experienced, so that is why I am okay with it and prefer it that way. In the future, Mercedes-Benz did say they plan to standardize a lot of equipment in their cars on base trims. It has improved since 2011 when I bought the GLA, but they are getting there slowly. I am okay with how they price things now, but I can kind of see why others do not. Personally, I rather have the more individualization they have now rather than rolling things up into packages, so I am not forced to get things I do not want like some other brands do. Mercedes-Benz do offer packages, but they let me choose what in that package I want and do not want. I love that. I do not want them to lower the base price, but maybe lower the options price for more common stuff like heated and cooled seats, sensors, backup and front camera by a little...maybe. But their more exclusive features like the wood trim, AMG line, colour, or wheels for example I am fine with the price they give. Cheers, Thomas! 😎 Those are my thoughts. Stay safe. Hopefully we survive this pandemic. ❤

Hi, the New Mercedes CLA 2020 is very cool sport mode l like is my favorite.

hoe does the Shooting Break Plug-in compare to the GLA plug-in? Which is more comfortable? Responsive? Thanks.

Many thanks Thomas for this video. Excellent job Autogefuh. l It’s basically an estate version of the A-Class, but it’s not as practical as a C-Class estate, nor as popular as an GLA. Sounds by the comments made by Thomas that is better to drive than an A-Class sedan. It’s a very good looking state car. Interior is not plush enough in the trim for a Mercedes Benz. BMW and Audi has superior interiors quality.

Canada needs this

Great review and a nice car :-) Thank you Thomas! I am just wandering how is the visibility in the mirror through the rear window? (Heckscheibe) because of the shooting break design, also at coupe-styled cars it would be interesting to make a comparison and show it in the future reviews if possible :-) Autobahn rules when you can accelerate to 200 (and beyond) :-D :-D Hope they will never limit it!

Great review - I really liked it! I have two questions - the important one first 1. When will the 250e version arrive and will you be testing that ? 2. How do you switch to km/l instead of L/100km in the consumption view. I have had the opportunity to try the try the 163hk/250nm, and I did not manage to find this part in the menus? In general I am very much hooked on the CLA as my next car - preferably the 250e, as I will be driving around 50km every day, and that can be done entirely electric.

Personally, I liked the design of the previous CLA shooting brake more with the LED outline on the tail lights and I don't really like the fake vents in the lower quarters of the front. They'd be fine with a fog lamp but for some reason Mercedes doesn't seem to like putting fog lamps in their cars. On a sidenote, can somebody explain why modern Mercedes (And some VW models too) have the rear view camera popped out while driving forward like at 3:46? It looks very bad from behind.

Autogefühl my sincere apologies, i watched so many of your latest reviews.. i think you missed it one one of them not this one. I watch your reviews just for this! Best part of the show, where others never mention. Thomas you should expand this further by comparing shut lines both interior exterior, use of hydraulic arms for bonnets, interior panel fixations of centre screens etc. i find that quite a few manufacturers are going for very lowball solutions now, and yet the car prices are higher then ever. Thanks again for great reviews as usual.

Good review. How was the steering wheel, it looks thin and could be uncomfortable on long trips - can it be had with heating function too? Good to see seperate climate controls. The two screens in one panel looked modern when first released but now i feel the screens work better separated. Why oh why the high-gloss black!? especially on the steering wheel buttons, the dumbest place! Exterior looks are only just ok, not great, not awful, but ok.

I thought the smaller engines were 1.3L, not 1.4L. Are they really Renault engines. This changes the game for me personally. I was looking at buying the CLA250e, but not if it’s a Renault engine underneath.

G'Day Thomas...just noting with no insult intended that the Mercedes AMG GT at the Bathurst 12 hour was described as a piece of shit with no brakes, no handling and no performance...drivers could not complete their stints and had to pit as an emergency...temperatures inside the cabin exceeded 70 degress C...this was from Australias leading drivers...nice one Mercedes!

Why is the responsiveness of the screens always so terrible? It's so dumb. The less errors you make while driving the better obviously, it should be prioritized to have a snappy screen.

Also das ist alles Geschmackssache. Aber ich finde, die Front und Heckschürzen beim aktuellen CLA und CLS sind einfach zu groß. Das sieht unmöglich aus. Die hintere Schürze reicht fast bis zum Fenster. An der Front ist alles bis zur Motorhaube aus Kunststoff. Und das ist alles billiges Plastik. Nur weil man bei Mercedes unbedingt noch ein passt Cent mehr Mage rauspressen wollte. Und das für den Preis! Das können doch andere Hersteller auch besser. Die werden nicht (ganz so) gierig. Hey vielleicht bringt Mercedes bald eine A Klasse ganz auf Plastik auf den Markt.

Dear Mr. Thomas, I am writing as part of a school project focused on career selection and would deeply appreciate hearing your feelings and advice based on your work experience. Some might think you have an easy and "cushy" job, but I do not. I say so because I have to think it can become very difficult over time to talk at length about mundane, trivial, and, arguably meaningless details such as the curvature of the leading edge of a car's hood, how many pleats the seat upholstery has when this detail is obvious to anyone blessed with vision - we should hope most drivers can see at least this well, no? And just "how nice" can a radio volume knob possibly be? Sure, some controls are more pleasant to operate than others, but still, a volume knob is ultimately a simple potentiometer, yet you succeed at making these mundane details at least modestly interesting. This, of course, is a tribute to your innate skills, and perhaps your training. By the way, do you consider what you do more aligned automotive journalism, or is it more akin to commercial acting? Since I think a career like your own would be interesting and rewarding, I'd appreciate actually knowing what your job title is and learning how one gets started along a path similar to your own. Are the pay an benefits attractive, and the work is steady? How much can one expect to earn in your field and are there schools that teach the skills you rely upon; if so, can you name several in the U.S.? Or is your job more of a self-developed skill set? In your experience, what personal traits does one need to succeed in doing the type work like you do? Thus, without (further) belaboring the point, I'd like to learn how did you personally get started and how long have you been performing your service? Do you work you on a long-term contract, say a year or longer, or are you compensated on a "fee-for-service" basis? How many reports like the one above for the CLA 250 might you perform during an average year? Finally, Are you compensated by Benz exclusively or by various automotive manufacturers, and do you do print journalism as well as video media, and, if so, where can I read some articles you have penned? Thank you, in advance, for your much awaited responses; I'd like to get started as soon as possible. Steven

Suuuuuch a beatifull car but.... WTF is going on with that led screen they have just placed on top of the dashbord shelf like they only just made it balance?! why the F not make a beatifull design around it so its incorporated into the dashbord design and maybe even shade for the sun? That and the fake exhausts is a maaaajor issue for me, it would seriously make me think twice about buying the car. There is no reason what so ever to cut these corners, not technical, not design wise and deffinately not brand wise. I could see this be done on a dacia or some such, for heavens sake not on a merc.

Very expensive and little standard equipment and also they are almost all the same photocopies With designers without character or personality, they should learn from the style of manufacturers from more than 20 years ago, with a very nice line and different from everything they do now, etc ,,.

To be honest, Mercedes has fallen behind in the design department compared to the other German brands. This looks outdated already.
