How it feels to drive a 2022 Mercedes-Benz CLA

The Mercedes-Benz CLA was introduced nearly a decade ago and from the moment it arrived on the market, it attracted a lot of attention and quickly became one of the best-selling luxury vehicles in Canada and particularly in Quebec.  The province has indeed had a long-time love affair with the Mercedes-Benz CLA and if you take a bit of time to notice other vehicles on the road,  you will likely spot a lot of CLA models driving around.


There are a lot of reasons that explain the popularity of the Mercedes-Benz CLA, but it really all comes down to how you feel behind the wheel when you are driving the Mercedes-Benz four-door coupe.  The unique exterior design will certainly draw you to the CLA, but the feeling of driving the model is what will stick with you. This is good news because anyone looking for a luxury sedan might have some trouble finding the model that they want right now, but there are 2022 Mercedes-Benz CLA models in our inventory, and you could drive one home before the end of the day.  And if you do, here's what you will find.


There is a lot of punch coming from under the hood


The first thing you will notice about the 2022 Mercedes-Benz CLA is just how much power is offered. A turbocharged four-cylinder engine puts out an impressive 221 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque in base CLA models, and you can get even more power if you opt for a Mercedes-AMG CLA 35 or CLA 45. That said, you don't have to go with one of the more powerful AMG models to experience snappy accelerations and confident passing in a CLA. Having a lot of power under your right foot is one thing, but it is the way the CLA reacts when you accelerate that really differentiates the model. The CLA is quick to react with no hesitation, pushing you forward with ease. It is a lot of fun to drive a Mercedes-Benz CLA, and we guarantee you will notice that the second you get behind the wheel.


The level of comfort is worthy of the Mercedes-Benz name


Performance is one thing, but you will also appreciate just how refined and comfortable the CLA is.  For many buyers, the CLA is their first Mercedes-Benz and it is quite remarkable to see the level of refinement and quality that the engineers put into this model. It is quiet and the suspension is compliant, and driving long hours on the highway or to and from work through the city is always a soothing and enjoyable experience.


The handling is precise and sporty


The other element that stands out about the CLA is how it handles. This is a car that feels even smaller and more agile then it lets on, and it is also a very responsive car in tight corners and sharp turns. If you like a car that provides feedback and is fun to drive, you will definitely love the new CLA.


Everything feels solid and well put together


Last but not least, the 2022 Mercedes-Benz CLA gives you an immediate sense of confidence when you see the craftsmanship and quality of the materials inside. Everything feels solid and you really get the sense that you are in a different type of vehicle. There is something special about driving a Mercedes-Benz and the new CLA represents that very well.
