Pros & cons
Mercedes-Benz CLA 250
- Efficient for its class: 6.9 L/100 km helps keep fuel costs in check

- Seats 5 with a usable 370 L trunk for small‑family needs and weekend bags
- At a 36,000 price point, it represents good value in its segment
- 370 L trunk can feel tight if you regularly carry bulky cargo
