2019 Mercedes-Benz CLA vs. 2019 Lexus IS

Are you looking to purchase a car from top brands like Lexus and Mercedes-Benz? It is always advisable to consider options falling under the same class, and in this post, we will compare the likes of the 2019 Lexus IS and the 2019 Mercedes-Benz CLA. After reading this comparison, you will get to know why CLA is a recommended choice.

Design & Style

The 2019 Lexus IS is a 5-seater model with exceptionally spacious front seats. However, the rear seats do not offer as much space as you would like. It comes with standard synthetic leather upholstery, and the interior exhibits elegant styling. There’s a mix of soft-touch points and cheap surfaces, and there are no upgrades available.

The Mercedes-Benz CLA can comfortably accommodate up to 5 people with a decent amount of support in both the rows. The seats are quite cozy and you can feel the comfort, while on an extended trip. The outward visibility is great for drivers, and the interior quality is upscale. Optional upgrades include authentic leather seats and ash matte wood trim.

Technology & Safety

The infotainment system of the 2019 Lexus IS is critically acclaimed for its substandard features. The Remote-touch mouse-like controller and standard rotary knob are not easy to use. You may get distracted driving while trying to use it. Other features include Scout GPS Link, USB ports and 7-inch display. The vehicle comes with Safety System+ Suite, including automatic high beams, high-speed adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist and lane departure warning.

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz CLA comes with an intuitive infotainment system, featuring HD Radio, *Bluetooth®, dual USB port and 8-inch display. Push-button start, ambient lighting, climate control, dual-zone automatic climate control, a rearview camera, automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, rain-sensing windshield wipers, active brake assist, driver drowsiness monitoring and automatic emergency braking. Interior upgrades include adaptive cruise control, satellite radio, Wi-Fi hot spot, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

Performance

The 2019 Lexus IS comes in 4 configurations, with the base model is a turbo-four cylinder engine with 241 HP and rear-wheel drive. If you are a spirited driver, the 2019 Mercedes-Benz CLA offers quick acceleration with a 4-cylinder engine that takes authority the moment you hit the roads.

The Bottom Line

Mercedes-Benz CLA offers refined cabin, comfortable seats and a smooth ride than most rivals. There are many attributes that make the base model appealing for car shoppers. You will be thrilled with amazing driving dynamics and smoother acceleration. Lexus IS is also a good choice, but it fails to stand out in this luxury small car segment. With CLA, you have an easy-to-use infotainment system and a more refined powertrain.
