近日，外媒曝光了一组奔驰新一代CLA的路试谍照。据悉新车是基于MFA平台所打造，新车在空间方面有可能增大。新车或将定位于奔驰A级之上。此外新车预计将作为2020款车型于明年上市。虽然该车的车身进行了重度伪装，但仍能看出这辆2020款CLA“小型CLS”的样子。与A级轿车相比，该车采用了更具侵略性车顶，更具运动感C柱，整车看起来更像一辆四门轿跑车。毋庸多言，这两款车车均采用奔驰第二代MFA2平台。其引擎室可容纳更多涡轮增压四缸汽油和柴油引擎。而下一代奔驰-AMG推出的A45功率将达到400马力，成为一辆高性能火箭。同时，新车有望提供全轮驱动，而不再像现行版那样只有前轮驱动一种驱动方式。至于与引擎搭配的变速器，据传高功率版本将提供九速双离合器变速器。第二代CLA内部将提供新的MBUX信息娱乐系统，因此内装的高科技范儿将强过外装。预计新车将于明年发布并将作为2020款车型上市。
Say Hello To The New Mercedes CLA In First Spy Shots
We are now bringing you the first spyshots of the second-generation CLA. While we're not necessarily expecting output segregation, as is the case with the CLS and its Affalterbach big brother, we're expecting the 2020 CLA to land as a more lavish proposal compared to the four-door version of the new A-Class.
Even with the heavy cladding and camouflage covering the test car, we can see the "baby CLS" image of the 2020 Mercedes-Benz CLA. Compared to the A-Class Sedan, the model we have here comes with a more aggressive roofline, while the sportier C-pillars bring a four-door coupe image.
Nevertheless, both compact models will be underpinned by the second generation of the three-pointed star's MFA2 (Modular Front Architecture) platform.
The engine compartment will be populated by a wide variety of turbo-fours, so both diesel and gas aficionados will have their needs catered to.
And with the next-gen A45 set to go past the 400 hp border, the Mercedes-AMG incarnation of the new CLA will be a rocket. Hopefully, the all-wheel-drive hardware coming on the new generation of the platform will no longer feel as front-wheel-drive biased as that of the current car.
In the transmission department, the rumor mill talks about the high-power versions being offered with a nine-speed double-clutch unit.
The second-generation CLA will be gifted with the new MBUX infotainment system, so the cabin should feel just as modern as the exterior.
You can expect the newcomer to land next year, with this set to hit the market as a 2020 model.
