Driving the 2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA 220d AMG Sport Coupe is an experience that blends sportiness with comfort, thanks to its dynamic design and refined features. Here's a breakdown of what it's like: 1. Performance Engine and Power: The 2.1L diesel engine with 177 hp gives you a solid amount of power. It's not the fastest car in the segment, but it's more than capable of offering brisk acceleration, especially at highway speeds. With 7G-DCT (dual-clutch transmission), gear changes are smooth and quick, which adds to the overall responsive driving experience. Acceleration: It has a 0-60 mph time of around 7.5 seconds, which gives it a sporty feel without being overly aggressive. It feels eager off the line but isn't as raw as a full-on AMG model. Torque Delivery: Diesel engines excel in low-end torque, so the CLA 220d feels strong from the get-go, making overtaking and city driving effortless. 2. Handling AMG Sport Suspension: The suspension is sportier than the standard CLA models, so you'll notice firmer ride quality, especially on uneven or bumpy roads. The ride isn't overly harsh but can be firm for daily driving. On smoother roads, it excels, providing excellent stability and a sense of connectedness to the road. Steering: The steering is well-weighted and precise, offering good feedback. It feels agile and responsive, particularly when navigating through tight corners. While not as direct as a full AMG model, it still gives you a sporty feel.
