The Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class is a series of subcompact executive car manufactured by Mercedes-Benz since 2013. The first generation was a four-door fastback sedan based on the platform of the W176 A-Class and W246 B-Class compact cars, marketed as a four-door coupé. In 2015, Mercedes-Benz expanded the CLA family to include the Shooting Brake, a station wagon configuration. As the V177 A-Class sedan took its place as the budget-conscious sedan, the second generation got longer and wider than the W205 C-Class.
