Pros & cons
Mercedes-Benz CLA 250

- Brisk everyday performance with 0–100 km/h in 6.2 s (211 hp, 350 Nm)
- 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
