CLA concept 2026 unveiled

https://electrek.co/2023/09/03/merce...-weve-awaited/

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.

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

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.

Q60 front: https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/62oAA...fP/s-l1200.jpg
Q60 rear: https://performancespeedshop.com/cdn...2518&width=533

C118 PFL front: https://images.hgmsites.net/med/2021...00765857_m.jpg

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.

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.
