Why it stands out

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA stands out as a compact luxury car that blends style, comfort, and everyday practicality. It was introduced for the 2016 model year as Mercedes-Benz’s second crack at the compact SUV market, and it proved to be much more successful than the GLK it replaced. The CLA’s appeal comes from its sleeker shape, which gives it a more polished look while also improving rear-seat space and cargo room. It is not meant for hardcore off-road use; instead, it focuses on on-road comfort and refinement, which are central to its character.

The model line-up was small, but it still offered a useful spread of choices. In Canada, 4Matic all-wheel drive was standard from the start, and the base GLC 300 used a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine with 241 horsepower. A plug-in hybrid version was also available, and the AMG GLC 43 added a twin-turbo 3.0-litre V6 with 362 horsepower. The GLC Coupe joined the range in 2017, and in 2018 the AMG GLC 63 S models arrived for both body types with a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 generating 503 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque.

A mid-life update for the 2020 model year brought revised engines with a marginal increase in power and fuel economy for the GLC 300, GLC 350e and AMG GLC 43. It also added a new front bumper, grille and headlights, along with an updated touchscreen infotainment system, new steering wheel designs and improved voice control. The already comprehensive driver-assistance suite was expanded as well. Buyers looking at a used 2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA will find a premium-feeling vehicle with strong comfort and practicality, though reliability is not its strongest suit and some owners have reported suspension, electrical, piston and cylinder issues.
