- Mercedes-Benz CLA Shooting Brake is a stylish estate, which promises to be more practical, than before. The second generation has a slightly larger boot, and a wider opening for easier access. The 2020 Mercedes--Benz CLA Shooting Brake is also larger than the first gen car, making it more comfortable for the passengers. And it features the new MBUX infotainment system.
Starting price: 32 000 euro
As tested: 55 000 euro

Love that concept🙌🏼😍. Our next one 👌🏼😉
Bloody Fantastic Car!!!!! the previous CLA and the new Shooting break are the most good looking wagons in the market.
Love this car!
You are quite a funny guy, I subscribed 😁
Beauty!
Very good review, Marek. I own the 2018 model, and you're right about the jittery ride. Nice to see a few improvements coming through.
Great review - made me LOL at points :-)
😁
One of my fav cars
I like this particular tester in yellow....
U are the best and most objektiv car tester EVER 😘👍
Gay?
6:28 "simply clever".... where did I hear that before 😀
Š K O D A
from Your wife?
This is the only estate car I want
"Not great, not terrible" - these words are perfectly describing the whole car.
Another great, and very detailed review!
Not great, not terrible😂😂😂😂… I like that👍
I respect the Mercedes communications office for taking the time to write you an elaborate answer, that quite likely was reviewed and approved by various departments. I do hope though, that at least someone in that process thought by themselves that the resulting text was utterly ridiculous.
In their corporate seriousness I don't think they made that connection :)
'' 3,6 roentgen, not great, not terrible''
If u look up the definition for coupe, it will say 2-door with sloping roof. So I still prefer this as coupe look. Great review
A trick : you can watch series on Flixzone. I've been using them for watching lots of of movies lately.
Your video "not great, not terrible"
A good informative review. Won't be buying one as still have many years left on my CLK 280 V6 coupe.
This is my car. Thanks to your video,I just discovered some functions😅😅😅😅
You are welcome!
Not sure if it design convince me to buy one instead of regular estate. What about dashboard material? At a first glance it looks like 1990s Japanese/Korean dashboard sprayed with cheap cockpit spray(one with a lot of silicone). Maybe in reality it looks better.
Looks: For me front reminds Opel Insignia, rear end Alfa Romeo Brera.
I'll take it
I have the same car just my is classic 1.4 bensin and the same colour !!! And I love it !!! ❤❤❤ is take 7 l /100 km is just little bit small for me because I have 192 cm,but everything else is perfect !!
Nice!
Looks like a Seat Leon estate from the back but then its fitted with a Renault engine and gearbox as its a front wheel drive, so maybe more French than Spanish?
samw oppinion 😅 they copied Leon rear lights
This, or Peugeot 508 SW? What do you think?
This
it's a real pain, this seems to be a good enough car for a family, but I might be tempted more for a Superb or again a MPV
How are the front seats? I would assume, that the head rest is not adjustable, or?
Not in this AMG interior version. But you can get different, less sporty seats with a moving headrest.
I'd buy the proceed new or the cla sb used. I really like this body style. 😁
I purchased the first CLA SB on spring 2015. 220 CDI AMG. 110,000km since then, no issues at all and it is keeping a good resale value. And I’m not going to swap it with a new one since after 4 years there are no options to this car on the market yet and I don’t find the new CLA design (remarkably the taillights and the new dashboard) convincing. The new 1.9 Diesel engine is very good though.
I agree with you. I got my SB new in December 2015. I have had no problems with it. I get comment all the time about how good my car looks after 4 years. I do not like the new look of the SB and the rear end of the car is just bad, the bubble look is not appealing to me. I love the angle wing break lights I have on my SB.
i wish you had mentioned the sound insulation
Not much to talk about. Average.
Did you say, all wet behind the wheel? hahahahaha and this is why I love your channel. I like the look of this vehicle but alas it doesn't come to Canada. Well the coupe sedan thing does. 59k Canadian for the AMG 45 4matic. Does this "hunting vehicle" come in a AMG version??
I think currently we only get AMG 35 for the shooting brake, but the hatch already comes as 35 and 45.
"Progress, only on paper" Scheeeeh
I have a doubt. Could I fit 4 big pieces of luggage in the back?
Had a look today, you can fit 3 large check-in luggage in the boot. 2 long ways and 1 horizontally across the top. Not much difference than the A4 Avant I’ve been driving. The only thing I don’t like is the raised loading lip. It’s harder to load if the luggage is 30kg.
@@hoob4loob Thanks!
Sounds like you hated it before you started, not biased at all. 🤷🏼♂️
I don't know which video you were watching, but this video was balanced.
I swear, I exactly wanted to point this out. This dude hates this car and yet he makes a review about it. Pfff to negative
Looks like a Kia Proceed ! It’s not only a lot cheaper but it’s a very good car and a seven year warranty thrown in! Snob value equals Merc but the intelligent choice is the Kia
Piss on 7 years warranty, had 2 kias. There's no space to write all the issues I had with service... Got the second one because I couldnt sell the first one for a decent amount. Aold the second one... First car I had that have "big service" on 60k km... that "big servicec costs left testicle and some nore money... Also they started shooting brake concept before kia so kia copied them.
The 7 year warranty comes with very limited mileage, so it's only 7 years if you don't drive much!
Shame they haven't made a CLS shooting brake...
Better interior than GLS 2020
is this normal or amg leather packet?
AMG seats, so different upholstery.
I really really want this in the US...sad
Can I get Proceed with MB's instrument cluster? Btw. this yellow color is terrible. On the other hand great review.
Marek, I don't get it -- you have simply the absolute best car reviews on CZcams without the "Gutmenschentum" of Autogefühl. (I tried finding a translation of Gutmenschentum into Polish and into English ... this concept doesn't exist in either language apparently ... chalk it up to a feeling of moral superiority due to left-wing "do-gooder" thoughts and values ... if you have a Polish translation I'd be fascinated how it translates back into German).
Why don't you have more English views? Anyways, keep up the great work.
LOL
I found an English translation "propensity for being do-gooders". I suspect Gutmenschentum has a much deeper cultural meaning. An interesting notion. Off the top of my head I can't think of anything similar in Polish. Maybe it's because we're inherently seeing the negatives. If you ask an American "how are you?" their natural response is "fine". But Poles start telling you how hard everything around them is :-) That scene in Chernobyl series, where the guy says the radiation level is "not great, not terrible" is the essence of Slavic mentality. I'm sure there's an long German word for it.
As for my video views, most people come here from the search engine looking for specific cars, so if a car is popular/interesting the video will get many more hits. Not everyone is entertained by my cheerful personality :-)
@@MarekDrives I come here specifically because of you. You are one of very few people willing to say that "this is bad" and do honest review. Everybody else is like everything is nice/great/happy/can't be better.
I don't want to bad-talk anyone but I personally had to stop following Autogefühl because the channel takes itself too seriously, it became unbearable for me. To each their own, though.
Proceed wins! Price: quantity ratio. P.s. it looks amazing. Thanks Mercedes to get KIA notice the Shooting brake!
The Proceed looks amazing outside but it's still a Kia on the inside. Which is bad.
The kia looks good but I can't deal with that kia armrest that looks like a bin
You’re still driving a Kia…
If you compare A-Class Limousine and CLA there is a clear difference in the design. So I don't really understand the issue in the beginning.
Just two different looks for the same car, why not.
Edit: Did I just hear Kia Proceed as an alternative to Mercedes? Wow.... I mean sure, if price is your decision point, but then Mercedes is the wrong brand in the first place.
5:45 the opening trim of the shooting brake broke down
No, the camera just opened :D
@@renedeininger8985 that sistems alwallys with the same problem.
@@rubioe3067 Dude thats not a problem, it is supposed to open. It closes itself if you're driving a little faster
@@renedeininger8985 you will now! Enjoy the car!
I Iove this car☆☆
But it has a little expense
Really nice car - but you have to pay for every little thing as an option....so it is expensive!
If this was available in the United States I would be at my local dealership with my checkbook....
So you only get the sedan?
@@MarekDrives Yes, the US only gets the CLA sedan and the A-Class sedan. No hatches or shooting brakes, unfortunately.
Najlepsze: not grejt not teribil :D
If I'm not wrong these xomzs with Renault engine! Nothing from Mercedes in real?
The 1.3 petrol and 1.5 diesel are from Renault.
i wish we had this in the USA wtf!!!!
Thing is, nobody buys hatchbacks or station wagons / estate cars (a category this broadly falls into. Not sure about the right term, but I hope you know what I mean) in the US. It's either Sedan or huge SUVs.
Mercedes CLA Shooting Brake,great style design, though not very practical because of its swoopy ending lines.Interior wins in multimedia aspects but looks controversial and cheap with this piano black.I have checked from a friend's car that it feels cheap.For my personal taste and this amount of money, this interior is just nothing special with no fancy cluster or something.Parts and maintenance costs in Mercedes are expectedly high and in terms of reliability the cla generation doesn't claim good numbers.I would prefer the Subaru levorg estate instead.The only negative part of it is that it comes only in a CVT version (auto gearbox). That's from me and greetings from Greece.
Like the design but the pricing is steeeeeep.
- Tob1uss- steep? Its hella low
If i have money that will be my choice.
All front wheel drive Mercedes are built to a [low] price, hence the use of Renault engines and gearboxes!
Is that true?
@@noskyimo319 In part. 2 liter has Mercedes engine, anything below Renault. Don't know about the gearbox, but it's about the only thing I really like about it :) If not for freaking taxes based on co2 levels, I would have always chosen the C over the CLA again. I drove a C220, have a CLA 200 now. CLA just feels cheaper. I have been driving mine for 7 weeks now, and have already a crackling speaker at the front. Voice control turned off, ridiculous lane assist turned off. Automatic parking is shit. All the electronic stuff making it expensive. Looks great, but could have been 10K cheaper for the same driving experience.
The 220d uses Mercedes fantastic OM654 diesel engine and their 8 speed DCT..
I hate the high boot lip, wont make it easy to get my wheelchair in there..
I really would like to buy this car, which is my dream car. I can in 3 years
are they really calling the A Class a limousine 😶, it's even shorter and more compact than a toyota corolla 😶
There is an A Class Limousine (/Sedan depending on the market). That's Mercedes' description of a... sedan.
If it was RWD based I'd be interested. As is, too much annoying tech and not enough about the driving. I'd rather get a Kia Stinger
Sorry, but I couldn't justify the premium for this over a kia pro ceed or peugeot 508 sw
Banana on wheels
it's a triumph of marketing (over everything else). Not easy to convince people that this banana-shaped, under-windowed vehicle is stylish. Oh wait, they are not saying "stylish", they're saying it's "emotional". But if you're feeling this kind of emotion, I'd recommend taking a pill.
I have C class and premium creeking dasboard. Probably china cars have better quality.
German car, it will have nice review from Marek ....
I thought the same...
Scooper MG and after 11 mn it has actually ....
if this was a french car , Marek would say completely the opposite of what he said .
Sevan Ruben 😉
Hungarian, precisely.
113 hp in this car is a joke ... company cars are usually the entry level engines, which means in my commute I can frequently speed past the people in fancy cars like this with my silly old non-lifestyle Suzuki Swift
136 is the base version.
And yes, it doesn't sound like much.
The 220d has 190hp and 295 lb ft torque which is pretty quick...and I've achieved 68 mpg in it personally.
The Kia Proceed beats this in pretty much all areas unless you are a badge snob...cue the comments from badge snobs.
But not in the quality and interior!🤦🏻♂️
@@ShootingBraker we are no longer in the 90s or early 20s! Its obvious KIA provides a better price: quality ratio at least in the shooting brake segment. BTW I love the C class but I own a Proceed.
@@emilsrm It's a taste question. I like the CLA more, but yes the Kia is also an eyecatcher 😉.
@@emilsrm You're not objective. Mercedes chassis are better, build quality too, engines too etc. Yes it's more expensive but kias arent cheap as they used to be.
@@JohnyMcNeal yep.. KIAs aren't cheap anymore because in line with what you say, KIAs quality has improved exponentially. No doubt about the quality of Mercedes but I don't think CLA should be twice the price of Proceed today.
Mercedes has overdone it this time. Trying to be “unique” in a world where all cars look the same, they lost proportions (and common sense) here. The back is almost hideous, and the car looks disproportionate from the side. This yellow, 4-door, shooting-brake, luxury-coupe station wagon is less attractive than any current Kia model. It’s a shame because until recently Mercedes was building really good-looking cars, arguably nicer than the other two German luxury-brands.
Personal opinion
I @@captainbadger1013 it is 😃!
Why the taillights look like stickers? Ugly. MB and BMW probably has the worst designs right now.
I think the MB ones look expensive.
For me it's ugly!!
That colour is really a disaster. Have they dipt it in urine?
Quelle déception dans le design, grossier et clinquant. Aucune classe surtout a l'arrière. Mercedes avait parfaitement réussi sa gamme de génération précédente mais celle ci est vraiment ratée. Déçu.
this (chinese) tablets are terrible !! why they dont hide them like in audi&bmw
