Is it not getting the same update as the A45S?

GordonGEICO

The 2023 CLA 45 in the US is getting a base price increase from $55,900 to $57,800. No other updates except some minor equipment availability.

The CLA45 came out a year after the A45... so I suspect the CLA45 refresh will come 2024.

I ordered a 2023 CLA45 AMG in June. It already arrived at the port. But they wont release it. The dealer told me that 2023 model for CLA 45 AMG is not OKed to be sold in USA yet. So I have to wait till the US gov release it.

The research I did only said it going to be pretty much the same car, But a good chance that it will have wireless CarPlay with the new MBUX.

Anyone has any idea when they would let the car out?

Eaton

2024 will be the new model with wireless Car Play.
2023 release is anyone's guess. Impossible to predict.

crester

Yup... we went thru that last year. I wouldnt expect your car anytime soon. Could be months.

Sockinatoaster

look at some of the other threads about releasing the new model year and … don’t hold your breath. All I can say is it’ll be worth the wait.

What are some challenges CLA45 are facing to government approval?

crester

There no challenge... it's just procedure. You'll get your car... but probably early spring.

CoolZero

Has anyone called a VPC to get vehicle status. Not sure if they answer such questions. I called the ph# listed on google but no one answered the call

crester

Don't do that man. It's just going to **** people off. Your car will get here when it gets here.

CoolZero

I got a call from the dealer saying that he is expecting my car to be delivered before christmass. Anyone else got their vehicle released. Looks like Mercedes finally Released the 2023 CLA 45. Anyone hear any other news?

Sockinatoaster

If you look on somewhere like Autotrader you'll know when the VPC is getting ready to release them as the dealerships will start showing "coming soon" vehicles. Hope you get it when promised.

CoolZero

Got a confirmation from the dealer. Mercedes has release the MY2023 model for CLA 45. My vehicle is getting assigned a carrier now. Anticipating having it delivered by the end of the week. More ppl should start seeing their orders getting delivered from now.

crester

That's great yours is on the way. I think the 2022's were delayed even more because Mercedes was concentrating on launching the EQ cars and the new C-class at that time.

CoolZero

Update... Picked it up on Friday. 23 CLA 45 are coming out now. I see a few in Autotrader as well. I think I am going to name it Otto

Sockinatoaster

How did you spec it out? That red looks a lot nicer than on the web site. It looked really dull in the configurator, but yours really pops.

zDingz

is rear spolier red also or black? Could you share your spec?

Sockinatoaster

Without the aero and night packages it's the smaller body colored one.

CoolZero

Yes, I was worries after looking online that the color will be dull. But I am happy that it came out very nice. Online doesn't do justice. That picture was on an overcast day as well. No night Package or Aero. below is my build

CoolZero

The rear spoiler is chrome

crester

Whut??? Regular cars have body coloured spoilers... night package cars have black spoilers.

CoolZero

Sorry sorry... My bad. Spoiler is red. Body color. LOL

Sockinatoaster

Are you sure you got what you paid for? The dynamic plus package should come with red 6-pot calipers, The pictures look like you have the standard brakes.
