TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Mercedes-Benz CLA

Mercedes-Benz CLA Real Gas Mileage: Pros
YearComment
2014 The German luxury car manufacturers have been achieving some shockingly good fuel economy figures in the last few years. To these we can add the CLA250's EPA ratings of 26 mpg city and 38 mpg highway. To do better in a car with 208-horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, you need a hybrid or a diesel. Mercedes-Benz's own C250, with a less powerful engine, manages only 22/31. As does the Acura TSX. Among likely competitors, the 180-horsepower BMW 320i comes closest to matching the CLA, with 24/36. see full Mercedes-Benz CLA review
