2022 Mercedes-Benz CLA vs. 2022 Kia Stinger

The 2022 Mercedes-Benz CLA has been made to entice car buyers in Huntington who are looking for a ride for a group of friends and a small family who has been wanting to catch up for lost time. It is modern and sleek inside, as well as sporty outside.

When it comes to the 2022 Kia Stinger, expect poised ride handling as well as a user-friendly infotainment interface. This one is roomy but has no major changes when compared to the 2020 edition.

Design & Style

Stylish to look at and sporty in all exterior aspects, the 2022 Mercedes-Benz CLA truly knows how to impress in this aspect. At the back of the second row is a considerable amount of space to carry enough of your suitcases. There are five seats in total, all comfortable and accommodating to provide the needs of all users of various shapes, ages, and sizes.

The 2022 Stinger, on the other hand, is also made to seat up to five passengers. Front seats are comfortable as they are well-padded and supportive. There is an abundance of headroom and legroom in the cabin as well. The backseats are great in terms of roominess and is enough to accommodate up to three adults. It comes standard with heated front seats and leather upholstery, metallic accents, and soft-plastic surfaces. It is not as high-end as that of the CLA when it comes to interior quality, though.

Technology & Safety

Technology wise, the 2022 CLA has the makings of a user-friendly infotainment interface. It carries the MBUX with simple layouts to match the needs of users. Aside from the Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and HD radio, this ride has other features to take note of. It is blessed with a seven-inch touch screen, Bluetooth®, panoramic sunroof, proximity keyless entry, push-button start, and the dual-zone automatic climate control. Safety features for the ride include the rearview camera, automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, driver drowsiness monitoring, crosswind assist, and forward collision warning.

For the 2022 Kia Stinger, it is blessed to have the UVO infotainment system with a seven-inch touch screen display. This is favored for displaying sharp graphics and using simple menu layouts. The problem with this is that it slowly responds to inputs. Other standard inclusions are six speakers, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, two USB ports, Bluetooth®, satellite and HD radios, and a smartphone charging pad. It falls short when it comes to safety aids since it only has the rear cross traffic alert, rear parking sensors, rearview camera, and blind spot monitoring.

Performance

The 2022 CLA models are gifted with four-cylinder turbocharged engines, starting from the base variant that can produce up to 221 horsepower. Other variants include the 302hp and 382hp for the CLA 35 and CLA 45, respectively.

The Kia’s twin-turbo V6, on the other hand, can only generate up to 365 horsepower. There is a turbo-four version too. This one can put out up to 255 horsepower. These engines are not as impressive as those found in the CLA.

The Bottom Line

When looking for a ride that can accommodate five passengers, you will never go wrong with the 2022 Mercedes-Benz CLA. It is definitely better than the 2022 Kia Stinger in all aspects.
