Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class

Historically established in Germany, the Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class is a compact luxury executive car first introduced in 2013 as a four-door coupe. While the brand originates from the prestigious automotive legacy of Daimler-Benz in Germany, the CLA model is primarily manufactured at the Kecskemét plant in Hungary, with additional production facilities for local markets in Beijing, China, and Samut Prakan, Thailand.

The brand is owned by Mercedes-Benz Group AG, which was formerly known as Daimler AG. The company underwent a major corporate restructuring in 2022, focusing exclusively on luxury passenger cars and vans. As of 2026, the company remains a global leader in high-end automotive engineering, headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany. The CLA-Class represents the entry point into the brand's luxury sedan lineup, leveraging cutting-edge technology and aerodynamic design.
