New Mercedes-Benz CLA Edition trim comes with a special body kit, a bunch of orange accents, and LED headlamps

The teaser reveals a bunch of cosmetic details about the car like portions of the Edition body kit, a bunch of orange accents both on the exterior and interior and more. We also get a sneak peek at the new diamond-pattern grille, the new sweptback headlamps, LED taillamps, and the multi-spoke alloy wheels among others. The car is also expected to have grown in size, in order to distinguish it from the A-Class sedan, which is currently, Mercedes' entry-level sedan model.

Mercedes-AMG CLA gets a more tech-oriented cabin with the company's MBUX infotainment system

The teaser also gives us an extended sneak-peek of the cabin as well, which has also been heavily updated and is now a lot more tech-oriented. The new-gen CLA will also come with the company AI-based MBUX infotainment system, which is already seen in the A-Class hatchback, sedan, and the B-Class minivan. This could also be one of the reasons why the Mercedes is revealing the car in CES, instead of the Detroit Auto Show.

This could include the 2.0-litre engine that develops 188 bhp in addition to AMG models - CLA 35 and CLA 45, which will come later. More details will only be revealed once the car makes its debut, so keep watching this space.
