MB is officially dropping its EQ brand

Many of the concept EQXX elements were carried over to the CLA


I guess we need a new forum?

Let's don't overwork the admins, they have a lot on their plate already

Blame MB, for coming out so many models. Dealerships also kept complaining there are too many models I think.

This new CLA is exciting, different and I think it deserves a forum asap.

They also showed the production headlights (first video, timestamp: 2:54 mark) Pretty much expected to have the star shaped headlights.

I heard the engine is not even a Mercedes engine

We will find out eventually but one of them is pure electric so EV.

Premiere in 6 hours

Pretty much what you expect. Boring designs nowadays.

looks similar to the concept

i like it

although I like the EQS more, it's ahead of time

It runs MB OS, curious about how different that operating system is to MBUX.

What do you think about the new CLA?
This site features images of the previous CLA and the new model.
Please take a look.

I like the C118 more but I need to see the new one in person to decide.

Did you know the pre-facelift headlight and taillight design was very similar to the Q60 which because MB partnered with Nissan at once.

Thank you for your reply.
I like the styling of the CLA because it is not flashy. The face looks a bit complicated and busy.

You're welcome.

You mean you don't like the new CLA?

Ich finde das Styling des CLA großartig.
Das Aussehen ist neu, daher wird es einige Zeit dauern, sich daran zu gewöhnen.
Ich war überrascht, als der W210 und der W203 mit ihren runden Scheinwerfern angekündigt wurden, aber ich finde den innovativen Designansatz von Mercedes großartig.

Oh! Sorry. I wrote in German.
I'm Japanese. I translated it into German using a translation software.

It's going to take some time to get used to it.
Like when the W210 and W203 were released with round headlights.
Mercedes' innovative approach to design is commendable.

no worries, I should learn German since these are German cars after all.
Thank you for sharing your opinion.
