What Mercedes-Benz CLA do most buyers choose?

The Mercedes-Benz CLA years with the most listings are 2025, 2026, and 2024.

These higher-volume years tend to be the easiest places to shop because you get more inventory to compare and a better chance of finding the right colour, mileage, and equipment mix. They also tend to attract more attention from shoppers, which helps explain why they remain popular used picks.

The 2021, 2022, and 2017 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
