2021 CLA's are beginning to arrive at dealerships in the Northeast USA. Looks like Keyless go is now available on the 250, but it seems random which cars have it and which don't. Also seems like keyless go is no longer standard on the CLA35, now part of the premium package. Prices have increased modestly.

I just picked up my 2021 CLA 250. The Keyless Go Package is now available and is a stand alone option priced at $800, not as part of the Premium Package. The Interior Assistant (77B) which wasn't available on the 2020s can now be added in the new model year. The Dashcam is a new option on the CLA for the 2021 model year. The only other change from last year as far as I can tell, besides a price increase, is the fact that the 64 color ambient lighting option is now standard. A few other options such as the Heads Up Display and the Adaptive Suspension are no longer available and if you order the floor mats from the factory, they only give you the front set, not the rear.

Thanks for sharing! Glad that the ambient lighting is now standard. It’s a shame, though, that the head up display isn’t offered anymore. I’m a big fan of HUDs.

There are more undocumented changes:

1. Removal of sunglasses compartment.
2. Black trim around headunit instead of chrome.
3. Touchpad button area uses new materials - plastic instead of piano gloss black.

The dash cam in your car is working? What’s the MBUX software version?

The dash cam (21U) is a $200 option on the 2021 CLA model and it also requires you to purchase the premium and multi media packages. The only thing extra you would need is a USB C memory stick that you plug into the outlet near the front cup holders and the unit records in the mp4 format. It allows you to record an individual event or a loop of continuous recording.

Yes I read about it. Just wanted to know if you got that package. I got all that with my 2020. After begging with my service advisor and salesperson and after being a customer there since 2006 they will activate that on my 2020 model on sept 15. Looking forward to it. I also will like to know what’s the software version of your 2021 CLA.

Why does it take begging and being a customer for 14 years to get a service advisor to do his/her job? Serious question.

Cause is not supposed to be done on 2020 models just yet. But I definitely understand you. It sucks.
