MERCEDES-BENZ CLA
Long-range electric four-door coupé tests its mettle on UK roads
TESTER’S NOTE
Several A-Class iterations ago I drove some Merc engineers on the Fosse Way, which is famous for body-disturbing bumps typical of our roads, to show their car could have used more UK development. They agreed. The effect is smaller now, but it’s still detectable.

The new Mercedes CLA is already becoming familiar. We’ve been seeing positive reviews from foreign parts since mid-year and, as you read this, the company is in its fifth week of selling the model in the UK, having been anxious to reduce a very solid backlog of orders – a problem more EV sellers doubtless wish they had.
