The Mercedes-Benz CLA makes it a point to set its priorities straight and it does it effortlessly. It is able to offer much more than just cabin comfort and space, but also moves on to project reliable performance and nimble handling as well. Does its rival, the Acura ILX have enough to beat the CLA or does it need to work on some improvements of its own? Let us learn more about these 2 vehicles.
The Mercedes-Benz CLA has an interior that can support 4 passengers and a driver. Its seats at the front row are supple and spacious which are great at supporting farther distances. The car moves peacefully regardless of terrain, thanks to its agile handling and responsive acceleration. This year’s edition has the CLA looking vibrant internally with expensive materials seen adorning its surfaces and sides. Overall, the car has the all-encompassing package to offer to its owner.
The Acura ILX comes with two rows to accommodate 5 people on its leather upholstered seats. Its front row offers heat function as well as power adjustments. Space is ample on the front row but its back row is slightly cramped. Its cabin in overall looks just average with plenty of hard plastics that do not look opulent as one would expect of vehicles in its class.
The Mercedes-Benz CLA sees quite a number of tech advances equipped inside starting with its MBUX system which is more user-friendly, 7-inch digital cluster with a screen, Apple/Android platform compatibility, HD radio, a total of 5 USB ports, and Bluetooth® connectivity. The safety aspect of the car is also pretty apparent with a rearview camera, collision warning, attentiveness monitor, crosswind assist, auto emergency brakes, and rain-sensing wipers.
The Acura ILX offers tech devices like a 5-inch display, 1 USB port, 6 speakers, Siri Eyes, and Bluetooth® connectivity. For safety, the car comes with lane assist and warning, emergency brakes, collision warning and mitigation, cruise control, parking camera, and departure mitigation.
The Mercedes-Benz CLA can easily make 221 horsepower through a 2L turbocharged engine with 4 cylinders on a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic. It offers good mileage of 25 mpg for cities and 35 mpg while on highways.
The Acura ILX gets 201 horsepower through its 2.4L engine with 4 cylinders and its mileage fetches 24 mpg and 34 mpg for cities and highways respectively.
The Mercedes-Benz CLA does not fall short on any aspect of the car which makes it highly intriguing as both a powerful and comfortable machine. The revamped edition this year looks stunning not just from the inside but from the outside as well. The CLA makes it possible for anyone to ride in both comfort and style at all times.
