Meet the Sleek and Refined Mercedes-Benz CLA

The new Mercedes-Benz CLA is the epitome of the luxury brand’s automotive innovation, hailed by the automaker as “the most intelligent Mercedes-Benz model to date.” Entering its third generation, the latest CLA lineup gives you more of everything – space, elegance, comfort, efficiency, and intelligence – compared to previous iterations. While currently available models boast mild-hybrid assist, fully hybrid and all-electric editions are on the horizon, too. Plus, the new statement-making design delivers the ideal blend of luxury and attitude, and we’d expect nothing less from this opulent car. Suffice it to say, you’ll stand out on the road in Atlanta, GA, when piloting a 2026 Mercedes-Benz CLA.

When you’re ready to jump into the driver’s seat of this stylish compact automobile, schedule your test drive or contact us to learn more about our lease specials at Mercedes-Benz of Atlanta South. We also invite you to stay in touch for more information on the release of the EV and hybrid variants.

Engine Performance & Specs

When you want a vehicle with multiple driving modes always ready for action, explore the new Mercedes-Benz CLA for sale. The CLA 250 Coupe – available with front-wheel drive or 4MATIC® all-wheel drive – is motivated by a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four-cylinder engine with a mild-hybrid-assist system that produces a combined 221 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. The vehicle also boasts an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission for smooth gear changes.

DYNAMIC SELECT is the drive-mode system that lets you dial in your new 2026 CLA 250 Coupe performance to match your mood and driving conditions. A tap on the console paddle lets you control shift points and throttle response to meet the needs of any drive.

The available AMG® Night Package upgrades the car’s footprint with 18-inch AMG® wheels, gloss black exterior accents, a Sport brake system, and Sport front seats, among other features. Please visit or contact the team here at Mercedes-Benz of Atlanta South to learn more about available packages for the 2026 Mercedes-Benz CLA.

As mentioned above, the CLA 250 Coupe is available with all-wheel drive – that’s where the CLA 250 4MATIC® Coupe model comes into play. You’ll get everything you love about the CLA 250, including the same 221-horsepower 2.0-liter engine, along with road-gripping AWD performance. For extra grip on the corners and added traction in slippery conditions, make sure your Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 for sale has 4MATIC® in its name.

There are also two AMG® CLA models:

  • New Mercedes-AMG® CLA 35 for sale
  • New Mercedes-AMG® CLA 45 S for sale

The former operates on an enhanced AMG® 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder engine with hybrid assist, while the latter uses a handcrafted turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder powertrain. With the first, you can expect to get 302 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. The second ups the ante with 416 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque.

We can’t wrap up the performance section without talking about the upcoming full hybrid and EV models, either. While we don’t have output numbers for the new hybrid edition yet, we do know it will come with a redesigned 1.5-liter turbocharged engine and is expected for the 2027 model year. However, we do have information for the upcoming 2026 Mercedes-Benz CLA with EQ Technology variants. Check out their specs below:
