The new CLA Shooting Brake
The lights of the city at night are reflected in the soaring glass facades of the office buildings. Turning night into day. Right in the middle of the bustle of traffic stands a vehicle whose shimmering surfaces immediately draw the attention of passers-by. Like a cut diamond, it glitters in the bright lights of the city: the new CLA Shooting Brake.
As a completely new vehicle concept in its segment, the CLA Shooting Brake is the embodiment of the idea of space as a significant factor in the way we define our specific, individual lifestyles. The Shooting Brake combines sporty and progressive styling with a level of spaciousness and flexibility that imbues our everyday life as well as our leisure activities with an ambience of modern luxury.

Clear contours and sensuous surfaces.
Even when at a standstill, the CLA Shooting Brake has an energetic, self-assured look attributable to the expressive and sporty design of its front end. A taut roof line running to the rear and an athletic tail end with a pronounced curve to the tailgate. Frameless doors that blend snugly into the harmonious design of the sides when closed. An organically recreated louvred radiator grille, plus an imposingly contoured bonnet with a V-shaped softnose: in the case of the CLA Shooting Brake it is special attributes such as these that give it a palpable and distinctive aura of athleticism. Its unquestionably powerful appearance is also impressive, characterised as it is by its low, wide expanses of window and the fascinating play of light on the surfaces of the vehicle as a function of its shape.

Freedom and exceptional comfort.
The stylish sporty flair of the exterior is transposed into the interior with the help of pronounced horizontal lines. The adoption of certain design elements, such as the repetition of the dynamic side line in the door panelling, creates a link between outside and in. High-quality materials and first-class workmanship give the 4+1-seater an air of luxury, interpreted here with a modern twist. Colour-contrasted topstitching is used to enhance the elegant sports seats, while numerous silver chrome highlights adorn the interior.

Ambient lighting with twelve different colours is available as an option. In the centre of the console is a free-standing media display unit with a standard screen diagonal of 7 inches. As an option, or in combination with COMAND Online, this display unit is available with an even wider screen diagonal of 8 inches. The new CLA Shooting Brake is also impressive inside, offering significantly more headroom and load compartment capacity than the four-door coupé model.
A sustainable vehicle philosophy.
The aerodynamically efficient lines of the CLA Shooting Brake are a manifestation of its exemplary functionality and expressive sportiness. At the same time, the precisely defined arcs of its exterior design follow an aerodynamic principle that regulates noise levels and reduces fuel consumption. A Cd value of 0.26 says it all. Great attention was also paid during the development of the CLA Shooting Brake to ensuring that only low-emission and recyclable materials are used.

Coconut fibres in the padding for the seat backrests and door panelling with a high proportion of wood fibre may not be features that are immediately visible, but they are all part of a sustainable vehicle philosophy. Further measures, too, such as the energy-efficient LED technology, innovative lightweight design techniques and efficient Euro 6-compliant engines are all hallmarks of the Mercedes-Benzphilosophy of “The best or nothing.”
A portfolio that brings together safety, comfort and time savings.
“Mercedes connect me” connects the CLA Shooting Brake with the world around it. The communications module, available as standard in selected European countries, makes it possible to use the Mercedes connect me range of Standard Services. Available services include, for example, Accident Recovery, Maintenance Management and Breakdown Management.
The optionally available Remote Online facility offers even more: Remote Retrieval of Vehicle Status, Vehicle Tracker and Remote Door Locking and Unlocking are further services available here upon request. Intelligent connections are provided as standard by the Audio 20 USB system or by the optional COMAND Online: both systems offer internet access and the use of Mercedes-Benz Apps.
The ultimate in safety.
Right from the beginning, safety was one of the priorities for the CLA Shooting Brake: the CLA Shooting Brake offers a comprehensive level of safety equipment that encompasses all four phases of Mercedes-Benz integral safety concept. Highlights include the standard COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST PLUS with partially autonomous braking and the PRE-SAFE® system, along with optional safety and assistance systems such as DISTRONIC PLUS and Lane Keeping Assist. COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST PLUS extends the functionality of COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST by the addition of autonomous braking to reduce the risk of rear-end collisions.
If the driver fails to act when a risk of collision is detected, despite the warning lamp in the instrument cluster and the intermittent audible alert, the system will automatically trigger braking. This significantly reduces the vehicle speed straight away. Depending on the relative speed, this intervention may be enough to avoid a rear-end collision with vehicles that are moving more slowly, stopping or stationary, or significantly mitigate its severity. The robust bodyshell structure with its rigid passenger compartment also contributes to the high level of safety.

Agility and ride comfort.
Right from market launch, this model will be available with a wide choice of engines, an AMG variant and a Sport model. The choice to go under the bonnet of the CLA Shooting Brake is therefore, from launch, between two 4-cylinder diesel and three 4-cylinder petrol engine variants, plus the most powerful 4-cylinder petrol engine in series production.
The fully variable all-wheel drive system 4MATIC is available as an option. Selected engine variants come with the 7G-DCT dual clutch transmission, or it is available as an option. The ECO start/stop function is fitted as standard. Offering agile driving enjoyment, exceptional ride comfort and low emissions: the CLA Shooting Brake is set to go a-hunting.
