Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class facelift revealed

Mercedes-Benz has revealed the facelifted CLA-Class in its sedan and shooting brake avatars. The CLA sedan will be making its debut at the New York Motor Show this month. For European markets, bookings for the car will open in April, while the model will reach dealerships in July.

All models now have a diamond radiator grille in black as standard, plus a new front bumper with a silver, black or chrome trim strip. The rear bumper is optionally available with a panel incorporating a chrome or black (Night package) trim strip between the tailpipes. The tailpipes themselves sit flush into the bumper. The 'cavansite blue metallic' exterior paint shade has been added and new set of wheel designs are available as well. LED headlamps are available as a part of optional equipment as is hands-free access, which allows the boot to be opened via motion sensors in the rear bumper.

The interior has new upholstery and trim parts, as well as chrome-plated controls and an updated instrument cluster. Additionally, the cabin sports a slimmer 8-inch free-standing infotainment display as an option for the Audio 20 USB and Audio 20 CD systems.
