The 2022 Mercedes-Benz CLA is a ride with perfectly great attributes that you would definitely love in a luxury ride. Car buyers in Huntington favor it even more because it has been designed elegantly and has all the modern touches of a luxury car. It also has powerful engines to match its sporty look.
In the case of the 2022 Audi A5, it still is one of the most undisputable when it comes to overall cabin elegance. Zippy powertrains await its riders too.
Design & Style
The CLA is configured with five seats that can accommodate a family with growing children. The front seats are perfect for adults with the driver finding his comfortable position in that area too. The upper tether was designed for the middle seat. Interior quality wise, this ride has an abundance of premium materials that make it more stylish.
For the 2022 Audi A5, it is noticeable that there is not much cargo space in it. Its seating configurations can differ depending on the model that you will purchase. The cabriolet accommodates four while the Sportback seats five. While it is easy to find a comfortable driving position in this ride, the rear seats are a bit cramped up.
Technology & Safety
The 2022 CLA is blessed to have the Mercedes-Benz User Experience infotainment system with a seven-inch touch screen display. This has simple menu layouts which makes it straightforward to use. It also has a touchpad controller for easier access to commands on the interface. Other functionalities include Bluetooth®, HD Radio, five USB ports, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay. Driver aids for the ride include rearview camera, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, crosswind assist, and driver drowsiness monitoring.
The 2022 Audi A5, on the other hand, has the MIB infotainment system. The system is fitted with a large 10.1-inch touch screen and is responsive to user inputs. It has an intuitive interface but it may take some learning curve getting used to the setup. It supports Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and has two USB ports, Bluetooth®, HD radio, and a 10-speaker audio. It falls short in terms of driver aids since it only has a rearview camera, lane departure warning, Audi Pre Sense Front, and Audi Pre-Sense Basic.
Performance
All CLA models come with turbo-fours. The base version delivers up to a maximum of 221 horsepower, while the CLA 35 gives a power out for 302 horses. The CLA 45, meanwhile, delivers 382 horsepower. All of these are strong engines that any luxury car driver can choose from.
The 2022 A5 is now equipped with a new base engine which yields 261 horsepower (13hp more than the previous 248 horsepower for its predecessor). This attempt is not good enough though since it does not defeat the numbers for the CLA.
The Bottom Line
Search no further if you are looking for the ride that your family needs. The 2022 Mercedes-Benz CLA is a better choice over the A5.
