The 2019 Mercedes-Benz CLA is an enticing option if you want a luxury car but does not want to blow off your budget. It is packed with a generous amount of premium tech and the overall package really speaks of luxury.
BMW’s 2 Series has been around for a few years and the latest model is favored by a lot of car enthusiasts. Here is a comparison to see which of the two cars deserve to be on top.
Design & Style
The CLA has an attractive and poised exterior thanks to its signature diamond-block grille. The LED tail lamps and other sporty details give it an expensive appeal. The interior styling is also as impressive with the quality of the materials used for the cabin.
The simple exterior of the latest 2 Series borders on being boring. The interior styling, on the other hand, exceeds expectations. It features top-quality materials and has a sophisticated layout. The well-built cabin will make anyone feel of being inside a pricier sports coupe.
Technology & Safety
On the technology front, the CLA is equipped with the COMAND® infotainment system. What are truly impressive though are the CLA’s safety features. Aside from the Me Connect that lets the owner to remotely access some services, it also has the Attention Assist feature. It can sense when the driver feels sleepy and will activate the driver aids for a safer drive.
The 2 Series has a noticeably small infotainment screen at only 6.5 inches. The navigation system is not a standard feature but may be installed as an add-on feature. For its safety features, the 2 Series has standard driver aids that are similar with other cars in its class.
Performance
The CLA has 2 trims that are both given 2.0-liter engines. For the CLA 250, it can produce up to 208 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. The AMG® CLA 45 has a more powerful engine at 375 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque. Any of the two trims delivers a smooth and spirited drive. The brake system is easy to modulate and stays linear even when driving with a heavy traffic.
For the coupe version of the 2 Series, the 2.0liter engine can reach up to 248 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. The acceleration, braking and handling are all inspiring as the car stays composed and controllable even at high speeds.
The Bottom Line
It is tough to choose between two agile vehicles. Between the 2019 Mercedes-Benz CLA and the 2019 BMW 2 Series, the CLA is the better choice. Although the 2 Series has an impressive interior, it is not as incredible when viewed from the outside. The CLA is the winner simply because it looks more stylish and sophisticated both inside and out.
