Between coupe and sedan
With the Mercedes CLA can kill two birds with one stone: While the CLA is in Europe to address all four-door coupes friends, he plays in China and the U.S. also the role of a notchback A-Class. The 1.40 meter tall Beijing-study gave an indication of the size, with 4.64 meters, the CLA would be 35 centimeters longer than the new A-Class and outstripping a C-class sedan. Eye-catching details of the Elf King, in addition to the sloping roofline, particularly wing-shaped rear lights, a relatively small trunk opening due. The massive front grille with a central star is known of the new A-Class and is reminiscent of models like the SLK. Overall, in direct comparison, however, that the Beijing study is very close to the standard model.
