最近国外网站发布了一段下一代奔驰CLA级车型在路口等红灯的视频。虽然该车进行了伪装，但这段视频还是展示了车辆侧面轮廓。为了掩盖真实的车身造型，奔驰在车身上加装了伪装。引擎盖上的伪装表明该车的车头进行了改款，变得更顺滑。同时，行李箱盖和后轮拱也进行了改款。由于伪装面积很大，因此无法准确判断升级后的外观。据传，新一代CLA将采用类似CLS的快背风格尾部造型，这将使这辆轿车更具吸引力。车厢内布局与A级车更为接近，这主要是由于这两款车共享奔驰最新的前驱平台。这也意味着该车的数字仪表群和信息娱乐系统显示屏很可能也采用10.25英寸显示屏。另外，新车还将提供驾驶员辅助技术，让车辆具备半自动行驶能力。新一代CLA的动力系统也将与A级车共享。欧版车型将提供五种汽油引擎和四种柴油引擎，未来还将推出动力更强的AMG版本。而美版车的动力选择更少，顶级款CLA45功率将超过400马力。
Next-Gen Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class Spied In Traffic
A new spy video catches the upcoming replacement for the Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class while the driver waits for a red light to change. The short stop provides a great view of the sedan's profile – even if there is a lot of camouflage on it.
Mercedes installs body cladding onto this test mule that conceals what the little sedan really looks like. The bulbous stuff on the hood means that the front end is like sleeker than the way the appearance here. The same is true for the trunk and possibly the rear fenders, too. So much camouflage makes it hard to draw any accurate conclusions about the updated design.
Rumors suggest the new CLA would have a fastback-style tail that would take cues from the latest CLS, which should make the little sedan quite attractive.
Inside, the new CLA will likely have more in common with the latest A-Class, though, because the two vehicles will share Mercedes' latest front-wheel-drive platform. This will mean that the little sedan will likely be available with tech like a pair of 10.25-inch screens for the digital instrument panel and infotainment displays. There will also probably be a full suite of driver assistance tech that would give a modicum of semi-autonomous capability.
The CLA will also share powertrains with the new A-Class. For Europeans, this will mean choosing from five gasoline and four diesel engines, and there will be even more powertrain options for the AMG variants. Looking at the existing CLA in the U.S, Americans will probably have far fewer mills to pick from. Eventually the range-topping CLA45 will pack over 400 horsepower.
