Overview

The 2024 Mercedes-AMG CLA35 makes for an excellent contender in the compact luxury sedan class. With a single trim on offer, the Mercedes-AMG CLA35 has a base MSRP of $51,000, competing directly with the 2024 Audi S3, the 2024 Cadillac CT4-V, and the Alfa Romeo Giulia. Only a 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 engine is offered, mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Together, they produce 302 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 4.4 seconds, the AMG CLA35 maintains a combined fuel economy of 29 MPG. Mercedes offers the AMG CLA35 in 12 stunning colors, with the Hyper Blue being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

The Mercedes-AMG CLA35 offers a fun package in the compact luxury sedan segment. The CLA35 gets its power from a 2-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine which produces more than 300 horsepower. Mercedes has replaced the previous 7-speed automatic transmission with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The rear seats lack space which is expected from a car in this segment. It is not a practical choice and you can look for the regular Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class makes more sense for those who want better practicality. But the 2024 Mercedes-AMG CLA35 is a great option for those who want a performance-oriented compact luxury sedan.
