The ground clearance compared to other Mercedes-Benz models
In the grand tapestry of Mercedes-Benz models, the CLA's ground clearance presents an intriguing narrative. Clustered amidst the brand's sprawling portfolio, the CLA, with its 99mm clearance, finds itself in a delicate dance with others. It stands shoulder to shoulder with its brethren, the CLA Coupé and CLA Shooting Brake, both also boasting a 99mm ground clearance. Yet, when the gaze shifts towards the more off-road inclined members of the family, such as the lofty Mercedes-Benz GLS and the G-Class, with their towering 215mm and 270mm respectively, the CLA's urbanite credentials are firmly cemented. This places the CLA in a unique position, straddling the realms of sleek urban mobility and the hint of adventure that higher clearances whisper of.
