earlier this year, mercedes-benz expanded its lineup with the 2014 CLA class, replacing the C-class as the german manufacturer’s premium entry level model. unveiled before NAIAS in detroit, mercedes-benz has introduced their latest four-door saloon, drawing design reference from the company’s high-end S-class. initially, the C-class range will be available in three trims; the most powerful C-200 gasoline-powered variation will deliver 184 horsepower and 250 lb-ft of torque, taking it from 0-100 km/h in just over 7 seconds.

thanks to an intelligent lightweight design concept, the new saloon boasts weight savings of up to 100 kilograms. it also will host a variety of new assistance safety systems and and a new ‘AIRMATIC’ air suspension system similar to what’s used in the S-class.
