Stuttgart/Metzingen. The second generation of the mid-range SUV from Mercedes-Benz goes by the name of GLC and represents a big step forward on several fronts: On a technical level the new SUV clearly makes its mark with the excellent standard of safety that is a brand hallmark, featuring state-of-the-art assistance systems and outstanding energy efficiency. Fuel consumption has been cut by up to 19 percent in comparison to the previous model. At the same time, the AIR BODY CONTROL multi-chamber air suspension that is without parallel in this segment, the extended range of DYNAMIC SELECT dynamic transmission modes and the 4MATIC permanent all-wheel drive increase not only the ride comfort, but also the vehicle's sporty agility – whatever surface it is driving on. Visually, the body follows the clear and sensual design idiom which was demonstrated so successfully by the GLC Coupé showcar concept in the spring, and which serves as the standard for future SUV families.

2017 Mercedes CLA Facelift press release
1. Daimler Communications, 70546 Stuttgart, Germany
Mercedes-Benz – A Daimler Brand
The new Mercedes-Benz CLA and CLA Shooting Brake
Update for a designer gem
Stuttgart. The sporty, expressive design of the CLA and CLA Shooting Brake is
now being honed still further in a facelift involving new bumpers, a diamond
radiator grille in black as standard and new light-alloy wheels. The interior also
benefits from numerous enhancements,among them new seat covers and trim parts,
as well as chrome-plated controls. LED High Performance headlamps, HANDS-
FREE ACCESS and further possibilities for integrating smartphones into the control
system are all options that serve to enhance safety and comfort.
The new efficiency champion is the CLA 180 d BlueEFFICIENCY Edition with an
output of 80 kW (109 hp) and CO2 emissions from as low as 89 g/km. The
Mercedes-AMGCLA 45 4MATIC Coupé and Shooting Brake models now feature
even more dynamic styling and a further upgraded interior. With a peak performance
of 280 kW (381 hp) and maximum torque of 475 Nm they are among the most
powerful vehicles in their segment.
The facelifted version of the CLA Coupé will make its debut at the New York
International Auto Show (25 March to 3 April 2016), while the modified CLA
Shooting Brake will be launched to the public on the occasion of the awards
ceremony for the Laureus World Sports Awards in Berlin on 17/18 April 2016. Both
models will be available to order from April and will land in dealerships in July
2016.
Their sporty proportions and powerful, dynamic design language characterised by
sensuously rounded contours make the CLA and CLA Shooting Brake quite
unmistakable. In addition, the CLA Shooting Brake offers a concept that is unique in
this class of vehicle: while certain styling elements, such as frameless windows, give
the car the character of a coupé, it also offers the versatility and practicality of an
estate car.

Mercedes-Benz – A Daimler Brand
Page 2In undertaking the facelift modifications, the Mercedes-Benz designers have subtly
honed the distinctive look of the CLA and CLA Shooting Brake. All models now
have a diamond radiator grille in black as standard, plus a new front bumper with a
silver, black or chrome trim strip. The rear bumper is optionally available with a
panel incorporating a trim strip in chrome or black (Night package) between the
tailpipes. The tailpipe trim panels themselves are now integrated flush into the
bumper. This adds visual width to the vehicle and ensures a superior high-quality
appearance thanks to even and narrow gaps where the panels join.
There is a new paintwork shade, cavansite blue metallic. The range of available
wheels has also been significantly extended. There is now a choice of five 45.7 cm
(18-inch) light-alloy wheels, all in all, including one in a new 5-twin-spoke design in
conjunction with the AMG Line. This is available in two colours (painted black or
titanium grey, with a high-sheen finish).
Both the CLA and the CLA Shooting Brake already previously included the latest
generation of assistance and safety systems that are,in some cases,only now
gradually being introduced in the other model series. Among these are,for example,
Active Brake Assist as standard (known until now as COLLISION PREVENTION
ASSIST PLUS),which is able to trigger autonomous braking as a means of reducing
the danger of rear-end collisions, as well as the transmission mode selection function
DYNAMIC SELECT. With this system the vehicle characteristics can be adjusted at
the touch of a button, as the system modifies the engine, transmission and steering at
the driver's behest. The ambient lighting system, which can be individualised by
setting any one of twelve colour moods, has been part of the specification since the
start.
The interior: slimmer display, newtrim parts, chrome-plated controls
The interior also benefits from features such as new seat covers and trim parts, as
well as chrome-plated controls. The highlight here is a much slimmer-looking
freestanding 20.3 cm (8-inch) media display with a new-style glass cover. This is
available as an option for the Audio 20 USB and Audio 20 CD systems. The new-
style dials and red needles in the instrument cluster make it easier to read the
instruments.
Meticulous attention to detail is also evident from the silver chrome finish to the
controls and to the fascia and switches in the doors for the electrically adjustable
seats,as well as from the chrome surround to the stowage compartment in the centre
console.

Page 3New trim elements in sail-look finish, matt black ash wood (in conjunction with
Exclusive package),black DINAMICA microfibre (optional in conjunction with
AMG Line) or aluminium with honeycomb grain, serve to liven up the interior.
There is also a revised range of seat covers: for the Exclusive package (optional
extra) there is a new leather upholstery option in sahara beige/black, while the Urban
equipment line is now available with a combination of ARTICO man-made
leather/Maringá fabric in crystal grey or black. Customers opting for black can
choose between designs with white or blue highlights.
The equipment features: LED High Performance headlamps as an option
Both the CLA and the CLA Shooting Brake are optionally fitted with LED High
Performance headlamps. Their colour temperature is closer to that of daylight than
xenon headlamps, for example. This is more restful to the eyes and therefore
provides relief to the driver at night. The 34-watt LED low-beam headlamps also
have very low energy consumption – around 60 percent less than xenon and around
70 percent less than halogen.
The low-beam headlamps use LED projection technology, while the main-beam
headlamps use LED reflection technology. Direction indicators, daytime running
lamps and position lights are in the form of multifunctional fibre-optic cables, which
are also used for the "Coming Home" function. As all lights use LED technology,
there is never a need to change a bulb over the entire service life of the vehicle.
The optional LED High Performance headlamps are combined here with tail lights
with automatic intensity control. These reduce the dazzling effect for vehicles
following. The multi-level functionality regulates the brightness of the brake lights
and direction indicators in three stages (Day/Night-time driving/Night-time
stationary).
Loading becomes easier with the HANDS-FREE ACCESS option. This system
allows the boot lid or tailgate to be opened (CLA and CLA Shooting Brake) and
even closed (CLA Shooting Brake) without any physical contact. All it takes is a
motion of the foot in the area of the rear bumper. HANDS-FREE ACCESS is now
included as part of the KEYLESS-GO Comfort package.
A trailer coupling is now available in conjunction with the AMG Line, too. Like the
CLA Shooting Brake,the CLA now also features a coat hook on the grab handle
above each rear side window.

Page 4The enhanced Smartphone Integration system (optional extra) allows the integration
and voice-operated control of iPhones®
and Android smartphones via Apple
CarPlay®
and Android Auto™ respectively. Selected functions can be operated using
the vehicle controls, thus allowing safe use even while on the move.
By comparison with the existing Convenience Telephony option, the Universal
Telephony package includes a universal smartphone cradle and two charging cables
with Lightning or Micro USB connectors. The connection to the LTE-compatible
exterior aerial is made via induction.
Drive system: Newefficiency champion from 89 g CO2/km
The new efficiency champion is the CLA 180 d BlueEFFICIENCY Edition with
an output of 80 kW(109 hp), which is available with manual transmission only.
A series of consumption-reducing measures and the vehicle's exemplary
aerodynamics mean that its fuel consumption according to NEDC is a mere 3.5/3.6
l/100 km (figures for CLA/CLA Shooting Brake). CO2 emissions stand at 89/94
g/km.
The new CLA 220 4MATIC expands the choice for fans of all-wheel drive. Its four-
cylinder petrol engine, with a displacement of 1991 cc,delivers an output of
135 kW(184 hp) and is paired as standard with the 7G-DCT.
New to the range of engines for the CLA Shooting Brake is also the CLA 180
BlueEFFICIENCY Edition with a 1595 cc four-cylinder petrol engine and an output
of 90 kW(122 hp). Its consumption according to NEDC is 5.5 l/100 km. This engine
has only been available until now for the Coupé.

Latest AMG design language and improved aerodynamics: CLA 45 4MATIC
"Avant-garde meets Driving Performance"is the motto for the Mercedes-AMG
models CLA 45 4MATIC and CLA 45 4MATIC Shooting Brake. These two cars
offer a unique combination of a fascinatingly sporty driving experience, extravagant
design and maximum individuality, while also benefiting from the facelift
modifications. Some items that were previously options, such as the LED High
Performance headlamps, now come as standard. The twin louvre in the radiator grille
is finished in silver chrome.
The aerodynamics have been further improved and the Cd value reduced,all to the
benefit of the driving dynamics and stability. In the case of the Coupé for example,
the design of the AMG spoiler lip on the boot lid is new. Further exterior features of
the facelift include the AMG front apron in a new A-wing design with front splitter
inserts in matt titanium grey and high-gloss black flics. The latter also help to
improve the flow of cooling air. New at the rear is the design of the diffuser insert,
with four vertical fins. An AMG Aerodynamics package is now available as an
optional extra. This comprises a larger front splitter, additional flics, a black AMG
spoiler lip at the rear plus spoiler lips over the simulated air outlets on either side at
the back.

Mercedes-Benz – A Daimler Brand
Page 7Two attractive light-alloy wheels join the range: the standard specification includes
45.7 cm (18-inch) AMG ten-spoke wheels painted titanium grey or black and with a
high-sheen finish, with 235/40 R 18 tyres on 8.0 J x 18 ET 48. Available as an
option are 48.3 cm (19-inch) AMG cross-spoke light-alloy wheels with 235/35 R 19
tyres on 8 J x 19 ET 48. Here,too, there are two colour variants, with matt black or
titanium grey paintwork, in each case with a high-sheen rim flange.
The interior has been similarly upgraded. The instrument panel is upholstered as
standard in ARTICO man-made leather, as are the beltlines. Both are given an
exclusive finishing touch of red contrasting topstitching. The trim element represents
a further highlight: this features a matt printed finish, although the essential structure
still has a polished surface that bears the AMG logo. It is available in black/red
(standard) or in black/silver (in conjunction with the Exclusive package). Also new
is the optional AMG DINAMICA Cockpit package with a trim element in
DINAMICA and a DINAMICA Performance steering wheel. The ignition key and
the E-Select selector lever each bear an AMG emblem.
With a peak performance of 280 kW(381 hp) and maximum torque of 475 Nm, the
Mercedes-AMGCLA 45 4MATIC Coupé and Shooting Brake are among the most
powerful vehicles in their segment, accelerating from rest to 100 km/h in just
4.2/4.3 seconds (figures for Coupé/Shooting Brake). At the same time, fuel
consumption of just 6.9 litres for every 100 kilometres (NEDC combined) underlines
the trailblazing standards of efficiency achieved by Mercedes-AMG.
Extensive modifications undertaken by Mercedes-AMGlast September had already
added to the fun at the wheel and emotive appeal of both CLA models. Along with
the more powerful engine, the new features included the AMG DYNAMIC SELECT
transmission modes as standard, plus the shorter gear ratios of the AMG
SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7-speed sports transmission. A mechanical differential lock is
available in conjunction with the Dynamic Plus package (optional extra).
Did you knowthat...
…the CLA and CLA Shooting Brake are the fourth and fifth members of the
Mercedes-Benz family of compact cars? And what a successfulfamily it is: in 2015,
sales of the A- and B-Class,the CLA, the CLA Shooting Brake and the GLA
reached 582,531 – the highest figure ever for the compact models and representing
an increase of 25.8% over 2014.

Mercedes-Benz – A Daimler Brand
Page 9...on sale in the USA since 2013, the CLA is the first compact car to be marketed
there by Mercedes-Benz. As the new entry-level model there, it has proved hugely
successful, with sales of 29,643 units (2015: +8.3% vs. 2014) making the USA the
single most important market for the CLA in 2015.
…the introduction of the compact models has noticeably broadened the appeal of the
Mercedes-Benz brand to younger drivers? The average age of European drivers of
the current A-Class generation is, for example, now around 13 years younger than
for the preceding model series.
…more than four million compact cars from Mercedes-Benz have already been
delivered to customers?
…the model series is built at the company's production facility at Kecskémet in
Hungary? Production of the compact four-door Coupé started in January 2013; that
of the CLA Shooting Brake in January 2015. Since the facility opened in 2012 a total
of 500,000 vehicles have already left the production line of the Kecskémet plant,
which also produces the B-Class.
...as far as its technology is concerned,the AMG 2.0-litre turbo unit is related to the
4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine in the Mercedes-AMGGT that delivers up to 375 kW
(510 hp).
... the four-cylinder turbo engine has already received the renowned "Engine of the
Year Award"twice? The AMG unit won the award in the category for engines with a
displacement of 1.8 - 2.0 litres in both 2014 and 2015. The independent experts were
impressed by the trailblazing engineering and outstanding characteristics of this
high-end four-cylinder unit.
