The 2019 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class is a compact luxury car with finesse. Its low price is justified in its small footprint and interior, but it still looks great.

Pros
Striking design
Responsive powertrains
Comfortable front seats
Good infotainment with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto added
Confident ride

Cons
Almost nonexistent rear seat
Price tag gets crazy quickly
Unforgiving ride
Hard to enter and exit
Busy transmission
