My camera went through another waterproof test and in some parts it is out of focus, I apologize for that and my hair. Special thanks for this goes to the guys at Performance BMW and Performance Mercedes. They made this video possible. Hope you like it!
hi sir, want to ask about different car audi a4 2020 if you have ever sat in it? because want to ask how you fit in there as we about same height. thank you
I understand that the cla gearbox in with lots of legs compared to bmw 235 use a better gearbox 8 speed ZF one of the best in the market, glad to hear your opinion on that issue. Yaniv Danino
by far better the bmw in real life. Went to see both. Overall quality of bmw is another level from cheap plastics in merc. I finaly bought the gran coupe....
@@ifhzu alright mate got the car two days ago I love it it's better than I thought I got the 218i msport all white with red seats it's bad ass not as much room I the boot than the A class amg but apart from that everythings better and sport modes decent as well I'm happy any way mate
If you see these cars in real, you may feel different. I sit in both cars and found Cla was not looking as flash as its look on screen. However, BMW new design was more premium feeling in my opinion. There is no doubt cla exterior is far better than 2 series.
I'm a BMW fan buy who owns a BMW m140i but I have to say as capable as I'm sure the 2 series grand coupe is it's just a pig to look at and compared to the CLA it's a no contest. Come on BMW I love my car 2019 car but a few of the 2020 cars are just things only a mother could love
i have the 2020 cla amg premium plus and it is a truly excellent all round car the interior is stunning especially at night. The ambient lighting makes it a joy to drive and turns heads wherever you go. Also the augmented reality sat nav is amazing there is nothing else out there on the market like it including the big luxury brands like Bentley and rolls Royce. You will never take a wrong exit again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I ordered the CLA in January, I was originally told there was a 6month saith for the premium. But was called at start of march as they had sourced one for me, and I'd get it in April. But then COVID hit. So I have no idea when I will get it now.
I personally have the 2020 cla and in my opinion it is BY FAR the best affordable luxury/sporty car on the market right now. Obviously the power lacks when comparing to a more engine focused car, But nonetheless you feel somewhat superior to others on the road because of the advanced tech. Beautiful looking car too.
Sam CarLegion in this climate giving them time is not an excuse. They have the money and resource to release a perfectly good looking and well proportioned car. This was clearly a rush because the A class, CLA and A3 were probably eating sales to the stale 2 series. Why on earth is a German car trying to look Korean?!
Good video, but unfortunately from the first second it was clear that you are a big fan of Mercedes and that BMW had no chance there, even if you compared the BMW 8 gran coupe.To be clear, the Mercedes looks better and maybe it is better, but it's sad that in duels like this, you see from the first second what you prefer ... it's not fair
I’m actually confused with why people think it’s so ugly and why it gets so much hate. Like I agree it’s not the best looking bmw but it still looks pretty similar to the 3 series when compared
Sam CarLegion ya like I said I can see why people don’t like it but it’s he way people have described it in the comments of almost any video of it completely destroys it
I own a BMW 220i and a CLA 200 (but the previous generation). In general (even though my cars are older) I would come up to the same consusion. Personally I prefer the CLA, it is just more fun. The BMW gives a bit more comfort. But there are also small things in the Mercedes that are just better. Either way both cars are great. If you prefer comfort go with the BMW, if you prefer sports and more precise driving go with the Mercedes. I could see the smile on the face of Sam and that's what I get when I get into the CLA (which btw. is slower than my BMW, but just feels more sporty). Next year upgrading to a C35.
In my opinion the bmw is better bc I went to go view the cla and they said a 4-6month wait and the features aren’t the best compared to the bmw the bmw it’s a 4-6week wait which is better and electronic boot and electronic seats and heated seats which in my opinion is better
@@fumiyafuse6374 It's more engaging to drive. Even if you just drive casually it gives a nicer vibe as you get a feeling of behind pushed from behind instead of being pulled from the front. And if you are skilled to can do fun things like drifting.
Didnt BMW drop charging extra subscription fees for every little option, like heated seats and such ? That is something I think gives BMW the big edge over Mercedes now. No monthly nickel and dime you to death nuisance fees.
Sam CarLegion all due respect my friend, I agree with Fay Ahmad. This is an excellent, concise and informative video, however the CLA is way above the 2 series in terms of looks (the whole reason for buying such a car in this niche segment) and even though the 2 series interior is very impressive, it is nothing compared to what the CLA offers.
What Mercedes does great is that their entry level cars feel much more special than they are. Even at first glance MB just looks more premium. Plus the interior? MB really kills it in that arena. If it came down between these two, MB no questions asked.
@@peterhammer6915 If the CLA is disgusting then that 2 series is an absolute abomination. Exterior looks oddly shaped, interior looks like it is designed by an undergrad design student using Microsoft Paint. Pure garbage
BMW build quality and material used is just so much better than merc. BMW infotainment is also touch screen too. Have test drive both and fun BMW drive better too. Rear seat I think BMW got more leg room. I guess Reviewer is also seem like pro merc more. More screen time for merc too. 🤣
My step daughter has a new Mercedes Benz GLE 250 and after all the problems with electronic systems failing their customer service is not very impressive. "It's a luxury vehicle with many extras so it's not uncommon to experience some failures " this after several attempts to rectify problems such as the failure of drivers power window. For spending in excess of $150,000 Mercedes attitude towards the customer service is unacceptable.
Yea that is unacceptable. I have owned 3 GLC cars with all the extras and none of those vehicles had problems. That GLE 250 clearly is a duff vehicle and should been taken back and replaced.
In my opinion, sloped back coupes, which they are not they're sedans, are horrible designs. Why on earth sacrifice so much headroom where normal people can't sit in the back of the car? Never would German cars have done such a stupid thing in previous eras. This style compromised form that happens now was never permitted. I don't think matte paint exteriors look good, different though they be. And I think it's time to end the shiny glossy black plastics in car interiors, those need to be matte. The BMW's interior manages to have more class than the glitzy looking Mercedes interior. But these cars lack proper space inside and definitely are built down to a price.
It's hilarious how the BMW 2 Series GC is more...benz and the CLA is more BMW? Like typically the bimmers are the ones that look sleek and sporty, it's the opposite here.
yes especially since Mercedes marketing department has done an amazing job at realizing younger people want a futuristic car. the infotainment of the a class and CLA is legit from the S class, big win for the consumers and big win for mercedes as they're sales will skyrocket
I have driven both of these cars but in better spec Mercedes was l AMG line premium plus and the BMW was M sport The BMW is for people who like to dive
Zero understanding about inches and cubic feet. I though everyone uses metric systems nowadays but was wrong. Otherwise nice comparison :) edit: haha read the comments, all BMW haters as usually crawling from their caves!
GUYS GUYS YOU ALL TALKING CLA looks better but thats because he didnt show the BLUE BMW 2 SERIES if he showed it instead of black you all gonn change your mind 100%
Please stop saying "Coope". Coupé is a french word which means "cut" and pronouces "coopay". A Coupé is a sedan that is cut, thus only has 2 doors. Brands nowadays call their lower profile sedans for "Grand Coupé" but they are still not Coupés in the real definition
The BMW is actually quite ugly while the CLA looks awesome. IMHO though the CLA is not great inside. Apart from the lovely screen it feels a bit cheap with questionable hard plastic, the seating position is not great, the noise level is so-so and the headroom in the back is really bad. I didn't think the driving experience was anything to get excited about either. Haven't tried the BMW.
