CLA head room

I have a 2016 CLA loaner right now and I have no head room and I am only 6 feet tallm is there a way to lower the seat. My head is practically thru the sunroof.

My sister has a 2014 CLA without the sunroof and it surprisingly has a lot of headroom (I'm 6'5). I don't know any other way to lower the seat besides the seat adjustments on the door. What I do to get more headroom when the seat doesn't go any lower, i'll put the backrest down more so that way I'm not too straight up (if that makes any sense).

I hope your not talking about the front seat....if so, there's probably a series of seat adjustment switches on the driver side door. You shouldn't have any issues sitting comfortably if you adjust these.

You should be fine, I'm 6'7"/270/lean and sat in one yesterday and had more room than the C43 Coupe. Make sure the seats are all the way down.

Front seat headroom is pretty similar for both the CLA and C43 IMHO. Are you sure you had the seats adjusted to their optimal settings in both vehicles?

Back seat headroom in the CLA is virtually nonexistent - it's a bit better in the C43 but not by much.

I'm sure. I think the pano roof is what got me. The sedan is fine. Gonna try one with the other seats soon.

I have a 15 CLA 250 4Matic and I am 6'2 235lbs and I have plenty of room in the front. Can't say the same for the backseat.
