    The 2024 Mercedes-Benz CLA line-up will remain the same as the pre-update model, with the CLA 200, CLA 250 4Matic, AMG CLA 35 4Matic, and AMG CLA 45 S 4Matic+.

    Only the “coupe” body styles will be offered, with the shooting brake wagon axed when the current-generation was introduced locally in 2019.

    For the extra cash, Mercedes-Benz Australia has included metallic paint, a panoramic glass sunroof, electric front seats with memory, adaptive cruise control, keyless entry and push button start, as well as a surround-view camera as standard across the entire range.
