Mercedes CLA four-door Coupe spied without any camouflage

The Mercedes Benz CLA has been caught testing quite a few times; however, all of the prototypes have been masked with heavy camouflage. Now though, thanks to Der Spiegel, a German weekly news magazine, the near-production version of the CLA has been caught on camera in all its glory.

Based on the new A-Class, the baby CLS keeps most of the distinctive design elements first seen on the Concept Style Coupe revealed at the 2012 Beijing Motor Show. The front-end of the CLA looks like an exact copy of the new A-Class while the overall profile resembles its bigger sibling, the CLS.

The CLA is based on Mercedes’ new platform called the MFA – also seen in the A-Class and B-Class. It will be powered by the same range of engines that are present in the new A-Class. And as is with every Mercedes sedan, there will also be an AMG version of the CLA, which is likely to get a 2-litre turbocharged engine with about 340PS of power.
