Slightly confused......spends 8 minutes saying there’s hardly any difference the 2 then compares the a class to a Toyota Corolla and recommends the CLA!! 😂
I was really hoping to get an A250 or A220 sedan, but opted for a Stinger. Maybe I can get an A45s/CLA45s in a few years when it depreciates to like 50%
Malusi Mvundla told my friend to buy a CLA AMG spec so then she can look like she’s got a CLS without having to waste a shit ton of money. The CLS is a rip-off in my opinion though, that’s why I would rather have a CLA.
Besides the frameless windows, don't know how you missed that the A-Class sedan has its rear number plate on its boot lid whereas the the CLA has it on the bumper.
I purchased the cla and I am in love with the sportiness of the look, and it is also super fast, too. The downside of some mercedes is the rattling of the engine, which MB leads you to think this is normal. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase.🇺🇲🚘

The fact that this was filmed in Cape Town makes me miss South Africa so much. I love this amazing country which is blessed with so many natural gifts.
3:03 watching this video in 2024 is so insane when you consider the prices of these car today. 4 years ago they were in the 500s, today they’re in the 800s.
There’s lots of differences between them, I had a 70 plate A class swapped it for a 21 plate CLA. Best decision ever, though the CLA petrol is heavy on fuel. Looks stunning, defo head turner.
I'd get the more practical sedan but in black, and put the 40k saving towards worthwhile etras like multibeam LED headlights (18k) the big display (10k) the factory towbar (11k) and advanced sound upgrade (4k). Oh and I checked and the A sedan is a larger car than the w203 C class of the early 2000's.
You should have worn black T-shirt while driving black Car and White Tshirt while driving the white one. It would have helped the viewers better and also had been a better promotion.
Wonderful, two more pointless Mercs. Now we wait for the A-Class 4-door coupé, BLC sedan, CLA sportback, CLB active urban hybrid, ABCLS hybrid and BS shooting door back coupé.
Cla looks better, I think it's the nicest of all mercs. However, living in a city center with a tight underground parking space I opted for the A class sedan.
Went for the A200 Sedan in Portugal. The CLA looks just a little bit better but with a great spec (and I specked the hell out of mine) you're looking at a 10.000€ price difference. Yes the base difference is around 8000€ but the optional are also more expensive on the CLA (paint, for instance). Could not justify the money difference, so happy with the choice for now. Transitional car either way
I actually prefer the rear of the CLA. Specially from the side. The A class looks like there is chopped a piece of the rear. Looks unfinished. But to each his own :)
I’ve got the CLA 220 AMG PREMIUM PLUS, but the A class does look smart, premium plus is a must for me, when the headlights come on at night it looks like the kit car
They look very different from the back. The track on the CLA is wider also. Stop exaggerating. Also most manufacturers with cars on the same platforms have similar interiors. What's the big hooha here?
@@elmonyopi1577 All the German carmakers. In fact bmw interiors even look the same across every single model 1 to 7 series. Audi has done the same. The Q7 has the same as the Q8 and the same as the A8 and the same as the A6.
My 2015 CLA-250 sport has 130,000miles with zero problems and I abuse the hell out of it by driving it on sport/manual mode all the time literally everyday I spent 300$ in gas monthly driving it that way lol
I have been wondering about this ever since I saw there would be an A-class sedan. I think I have an old german magazine which already wrote about an A-class sedan. I figured this ended up being the CLA though. Thank you Thank you Thank you
They are different cars for different audiences. The A class has more back passenger space and headroom., the CLA sacrifices that for a coupe look. I think the A class is the perfect small saloon.
I want a video on the AMG A35 as well as I want races between it, the golf r, the new BMW M135i, the Audi S3, the Focus RS or St anything it can complete with as a entry level performance car.
It's surprisingly solid inside, actually, and feels far more premium than the Audi. Having looked at both, there's not much competition if you want a more premium feeling car. The Merc wins it.
Please can you do a video of the new Mazda 3 sedan vs the Subaru Impreza? Pricing-wise the top-spec Impreza sits right in between the top two trims of the Mazda, making it quite an interesting choice for buyers when considering which each of the three offers.
Previous generation of the CLA was pretty ugly. All the porpocions were wrong. The new one is better but still a bit off. Very long and with huge overhangs. For me the A sedan has a better design. The fact of being shorter helps.
Rediculous. Just rediculous. I mean, when you think about it, the sedan version of the A class IS the CLA. Because, when you want a sedan version of a hatchback, which would be a smaller compact executive car, in the drawing board, it's the CLA. He even just said right now dimension wise the these things are the same so I obviously don't see the need of am A class sedan. When the CLA already exists. Good video🔥🔥
Why compete with other brand when u can compete with yourself..that way, now customer will compare both Merc and decide to buy either one, rather than comparing it with a BMW.. I think they are trying to play with the mindset this way...
@@jillashakthi5337 they ARE playing with people's minds when they do that especially in brand...But it's annoying when they have the exact same class of car selling them side by side..trying to make even more money
The most important difference in my opinion is that CLA is made in Hungary and the A classe is made in Germany . Personally I have some doubts about the quality materials and painting on CLA
I don't believe my luck. Just today morning, I was wondering which one suits me the best as they are so identical and similarly priced to each other and you've got me sorted. But don't you think most people won't care about the CLA's exterior styling and hence spending that extra bunch of money on it is pointless?
I love the CLA and always would. but i wud buy the A class. As for convenience and for getting family members to sit comfortably at the back... having said that. I won't be buying either of them. Bcuz i can't afford it lol
So you spent this whole video basically saying that you couldn’t tell the difference between the CLA and A-class? But then choose the more expensive one? 🤔 I’m a bit confused
I don't get what's with all the emphasis on style and looks. The rear seat space is exactly what drives most people to buy the sedan. Or throw in a bit more and get the shooting brake. If you don't care for features, definitely go for C-class or the new 3 series.
You forgot to point out that the the sedan looks so stumpy at the rear, the CLA is much better proportioned, I know as I spent so long Looking at both with my father who was buoying one. He was going to take the sedan because the CLA was not released but we had seen pictures and had decided to wait, as soon as the CLA hit the showroom it was a no brainer!
For real? Like.......the easiest and the pivotal difference is that the A is a 3-box car with a straight roofline while the CLA is the coupe with the sloping roofline and you don't see that as the major difference for Merc bringing in the A sedan? Damn, son.
And they are infested with Renault engines... That's not something to brag about! (No wonder the SRS system malfunctioned -LOL) At least the 2.0L petrol and diesel variants still have true German engineered, Mercedes Benz "harts" - not French rubbish! So much for the "premium" price tag... Mercedes have to be careful with their new cross-breeds, the stupid X-Class already showed that the buying public don't want to be taken for a "cheap" ride.
@@martinsonnleitner7911 the CLA 200 here and the A200 come with a turbocharged 1.3 litre engine producing 120kW made by renault...dont let the new naming confuse you.200 or 300 does not reflect engine size anymore...the higher the number the more power it generates.Most people dont know that Daimler started an alliance with Renault-Nissan far back in 2010..The X class is just a Navara with an interior of a Merc..now i understand its frustating people who buy a premium brand only to find out that the engine is from a less premium brand but that is just what it is....
Really... if you are going to review the differences then you need to pay attention. What you missed. Seats are different Standard features of A Saloon vs CLA Coupe styling vs saloon styling Frameless windows as someone pointed out. Bumper difference Massive difference in boot lids. So to conclude. If you are a young family and need that extra space in the rear then the saloon would be best or better still if you are a family that still loves the coupe lines but need a 4dr then go for the CLA. So that you know, both cars have a place in the market. Hope you do a better job next time.
They’re different cars. Compare the a class sedan to the cla 250 you’ll see the difference. Different chassy and engine power. The cla creates no wind noise and has adaptive dampers whereas the a class Doesnt.

All the subtle details of the CLA makes it that much more than the A class
Me reading subtitle to subtle.
Cla gets independent suspension at the back A class gets torsion bar suspension.
Torsion beam for more than 500ooo rands👎
If you choose the AMG package you get independent suspension. At least in Europe.

that’s super! If they offer that for with the A200 1.3 engine I’m happy
One of the biggest differences for me is the seat headrests. Front and back
I prefer CLA because the looks
The A-class is much prettier i would have that one
I prefer a little more rear headroom since it's already considered below average on both cars.
I so love the cla its so beautiful and those curves calculated vwry nicely
The S3 starts to look like great value in sedan form, and let's be honest while the Merc looks nice the quality will not be as tight as the Audi
It's surprisingly solid inside, actually, and feels far more premium than the Audi. Having looked at both, there's not much competition if you want a more premium feeling car. The Merc wins it.
Audi more premium? I don’t think so. Why are there so many audi fanboys everywhere.

Getting CLA soon SOOOOOON
Every poll ive seen people say a sedan is better looking
The CLA in the video has no climatised seats. The button for it is missing in both cars. You didn’t show the trunk space which is bigger for the CLA.

Yes it is, the new facelift version. It actually already released at the end of 2019 but more known as a 2020 version.

So that you know, both cars have a place in the market. Hope you do a better job next time.
What if I’m just married but don’t have kids yet should I get a C class coupe ?
They’re different cars. Compare the a class sedan to the cla 250 you’ll see the difference. Different chassy and engine power. The cla creates no wind noise and has adaptive dampers whereas the a class Doesnt.
