2016 Mercedes-Benz COMAND Navigation
First things first; horsepower. The CLA is by no means known for its performance, especially when compared to other Mercedes-Benz models such as the E-Class or the SL-Class. That being said, it is still a sports car and the CLA45 has more than enough power to get you to your destination before everyone else. The 2015 redlines at 355 horsepower and, for now, is still the worlds most powerful four-cylinder production engine. For 2016, Mercedes-Benz was able to squeeze 20 more ponies out of the same turbocharged 2.0-liter engine. A four-cylinder engine pushing 400 horsepower? What a concept.
2016 | VS | 2015 |
---|---|---|
375 | HP | 355 |
4.2 Seconds | 0-60 MPH | 4.4 Seconds |
31 Highway | MPG | 31 Highway |
The new CLA45 will look slightly different than the current model. It will have a more aerodynamic hatchback styling that sort of resembles an tiny, angry, station wagon. The new design is eye-catching and will certainly give the 2016 a handling advantage.
The 2015 Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG vs 2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG standoff doesn’t end with a little more power and faster shifts. The 2016 will come equipped with all the latest in Mercedes-Benz technology including Dynamic Select, COMAND navigation, and a new standard 7-inch display with smartphone linking capabilities.
