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 facelifted version of the CLA Coupé will make its debut at the New York International Auto Show from 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.

let’s hope they’ve done away with the cheap materials. judging as this is a Mercedes for around 30K, probably not.

Really? They played a V8 soundtrack to hide that it’s a 4-pot? The future, everyone. This is just as shitty as when Ford played a V8 soundtrack over the Ecoboost Mustang when they compared it to the Boss 302... -_-

Looks better, but the headlights still make it look too tall. The LEDs should be on the bottom of the lenses.

It does not sound like an AMG V8, that actually sounded just like the current CLA45 AMG exhaust. AMG V8s are a million times more throaty, go listen to the W205 C63 exhaust.

Still frumpy. At least the tail lights and grill look better.

I can’t believe that. If 4 cylinders sounded that good, deep and throaty sounding and tuned, then no one would talk shit about them being rice and whatnot.

I would have to drive the CC but having driven the CLA the CC would really have to be worse. I bet it is not though.

They have to be tuned by AMG! I know, when I first heard it in real life going by it sounded so angry it almost makes me like the CLA45... almost .

Ford should contract AMG to do their Ecoboost exhausts....

Also that car is in park which is rev limited just imagine how it must sound past 5000k.

They should do BMWs first! BMW still hasn't figured out how to make turbos sound good. Glad I could enlighten you today to the amazing sound that is an AMG exhaust even if it's on a 4 pot!

Holy geez.....5000 THOUSAND RPMS?????? Nah I’m kidding, but holy wow. I’ve never heard one in person before, I can only imagine what YouTube will offer me for now. :p

Damn I wrote that sloppily. It’s rev limited to like 3500-4000k in park I believe, but I meant at speed and hitting 5000k+ (It redlines at 6500) it must sound insane.
