The Mercedes-Benz CLA does not forgo on any aspect of a good vehicle. It pays close attention to interior comfort and beauty while also displaying agile handling and mighty engine options. It is most certainly tough to look past this incredible machine for its outstanding traits. Do you think the Lexus IS is a good rival of the CLA or does it need some work? Let us explore and find out more.
The Mercedes-Benz CLA’s interior is able to accommodate up to 4 passengers and a driver. It has seats at the front row that are full of space and cushioning which are really essential to support longer drives. The car rides smoothly even when maneuvering corners and bends with its agile handling. Its engine lineup that the car offers is also powerful to support its overall robust performance. The car has been redesigned this year to exude a raised sense of luxury from within its cabin.
The Lexus IS has two rows that can seat 5 people. Its space is rather on the average side with some saying it is adequate whereas others stating that there is a huge lack of it. Its cabin looks and feels posh with high-end materials being used for its surfaces. Nevertheless, its interior style does look a little dated as compared to its rivals.
The Mercedes-Benz CLA comes with several tech advancements which include 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. Safety tech is also offered with rearview camera, collision warning, attentiveness monitor, crosswind assist, auto emergency brakes, and rain-sensing wipers.
