Technology in the CLA

The new Mercedes-Benz CLA offers a whole new breed of driving perfection. With a sharp sporty design rooted in luxury to high-performance features and state of the art technology, this is the vehicle of the future.

Nowhere are the CLA bells and whistles more evident than in its technological aspects, featuring LED High-Performance headlamps, hands-free access, tablet and smartphone integration and Active Brake Assist among other innovations. The car stands out as the leader in its class.

Safety

Part of Mercedes’ Intelligent Drive system, driving safety is a cornerstone of the CLA’ technology features. The industry innovative Attention Assist factors in a driver’s profile and runs it through extremely sensitive sensors to help reduce driver fatigue with alerts and adjustments to prevent driving errors. As a component of this Active Lane Keeping assures that you stay in your lane if the vehicle starts to stray, while Active Blind Spot works to detect vehicles in your blind spot to keep you moving safely.

The BAS® Plus feature consistently relies on the CLA’ stereo cameras, short, medium and long-range radar to continually scan the road for any potential accidents or cross-traffic. Additional advanced systems warn you of pedestrians or debris in your way and work with the car to apply the brakes to avoid collision. DISTRONIC PLUS® aids in automatic speed regulation and proximity control in regards to other vehicles.

To counteract dangerous weather conditions, the Crosswind Stabilization mechanism examines the car’s brake and stability systems and corrects them to protect from strong side winds while maintaining smooth, straight-line driving.

Convenience

The CLA helps to make your life easier with technology focused convenience details. Active Parking Assist uses sensors in the vehicle’s bumper to measure up potential parallel-parking spots as you pass them and can gently steer the car into the open space as you operate the brakes and gears.

Cleaning your windows is effortless with the assistance of Magic Vision Control that washes your windows without the inconvenient splash of water to disrupt your point of view. This intelligent autonomous wash system is a world first.

Mercedes benchmark hands-free access framework is also present in the CLA with the Advanced Access System that readies your car for your without you having to lift a finger.

The CLA also features state-of-the-art wireless connectivity that joins Bluetooth® phones and other enabled devices to the car’s COMAND® cockpit management and data system, allowing you easy control through a flat screen display.

To add to the driving experience at all hours of the day, Adaptive High-Beam Assist acts on a network of efficient and powerful LED headlamps to brilliantly light the way.

Eco-Friendly

The CLA isn’t just innovative in terms of safety and convenience; it is built on eco-friendly principles to enhance its optimal running. Its ECO Start/Stop system automatically shuts off the engine when it’s not in use, such as while you’re waiting at a red light, saving fuel and reducing emissions at the same time.

DISTRONIC PLUS® is a driver assistance system which combines automatic speed regulation with proximity control in relation to a vehicle traveling in front.
