Coming Soon

Mercedes-Benz CLA C118 (2nd Generation)

20202026 · C118 · sedan

Bigger and more practical than C117. M260 turbo-4 (CLA 250), M139 2.0L turbo-4 in the AMG CLA 35 (302 hp) and AMG CLA 45 / 45 S (382/415 hp). MBUX dual-display dash standard. FWD standard, 4MATIC optional. The CLA Shooting Brake stays Euro-only — US gets sedan only.

Watch out: Newer generation, so failure patterns still emerging. 8G-DCT dual-clutch transmission service intervals and out-of-warranty fluid changes matter — don't trust the 'sealed for life' branding. Early-build MBUX polish issues fixed by OTA updates.

Full clubhouse — owner Garage Lineage, common problems, year-by-year notes, and product picks — is on the build list.
