I dont know why there isnt C class version of CLA, if you know what I mean... CLS is too big but for some people CLA is too small, especially in the back so I dont get it why there isnt something like Audi A5 size

I always thought it was looking at Matt,but we never saw footage of his face straight on while driving. Today he pulls it off TURNS IT AROUND and shows us the telemetry time. So it's used to film the instrument cluster on the move 👍 Every day is a skool day.
This makes the C63 pretty pointless. Want a bigger car, go for the E class or an SUV type. If the C63 has the same engine they will still be ridiculously expensive.

I really like these new designs incomparison to even the S class and even C class. I like how the front nose has an angle that goes down to the front fascia and has the right length from the driver seat area or cockpit area. The front wheels just sit in between in the center between the front and windshield. It just looks nice. Compared to the really enlongated nose generally that Mercedes has on former Sedans. I hope they further use this design on other models. What do you guys think?
Same I really like this design, but most aren’t like this because they have V8 engines and they’re larger which makes them have to increase the size of the front
Remember when the amg gtr’s front end, especially with the panamericana grille was exclusive to the amg gtr? Good times, now it’s practically on any new mercedes.
Mr Guy ah, but when the amg gtr came out, it was the first street car to bear that grille. Then the year after they start slapping it on every other amg car. And now, not only did they make the grille common, but they also took the whole front end design and slapped it on other inferior cars such as this one here. The new e 53 coupe is basically a copy and paste of the amg gtr’s front end.
Hey Matt, I really enjoy your overview-giving reviews! But there‘s one thing I‘d be happy seeing in the reviews as well: That is a short review of the cars‘ stereo-system! (not necessarily functionality in the infotainment system but rather actual subjective sound-performance)
i feel like he has to be sponsored by samsung if he replaced his s10.. s10 doesn't need to be replaced yet. i used to be a samsung fanboi but lately apples been killing it.
@tom lewis samsung>apple until samsung followed suit with the iphone X price tag of $1000 also samsung kept following apple with getting rid of the headphone jack. if theyre going to keep copying apple then may as well just get an iphone. however with apple releasing the SE im sure android oems & samsung will cheapen their phones too. so while ill say right now that apple is better. 2021 is when we can see their response to the SE. so apple being better may not last too long unless samsung fucks 2021 up like they did 2020.
I got gla45 hatch not boy racer but for the massive room in the back when I fold my seats down . If your 5.6 you can sleep in back on an angle . Can't do that with 4 door car . Carry longer bigger loads . Great for shopping as well . way more practical for me .
@@Manuel-me1yi Make up your mind... All these cars belong to different segments. You're talking about sport compact sedan, super full size sedan, and a supercar...
@John Gilroy so the first aerodynamics pack has canards and a little spoiler in the pictures but the improved aerodynamics pack only has a wing🤷♂️. I dont know if they forgot to edit it in or you have to combine them
Great idea to split the youtube video timebar into named sections. Never seen this in a youtube video, excellent work, that makes it easier to review the sections you're particular keen on. Thumbs very up!!
Amg really knows how to make a good car.... This one perfect for car enthusiasts.. I agree with matt... People should buy it... If ur not a guy car thing its a really practical car left a side the headroom at the back.... But its still a the best car in market... Congratulations AMG!
For a car enthusiast maybe but not perfect for a true petrolhead: Exhaust: fake Cabin exhaust noise: fake Front and rear spoilers: fake Difuser: fake Air intakes (left): fake All wheel drive: fake Wheigt: As hell (coming from a hatch) A car made for young and rich enthusiasts to post really good pictures and stories.
@@eventusvantos2770 The exhaust you see aren't connected to the whole system, are just a peace of metal. The sound you hear inside is intensifyed from the speakers. The mini-rear spoiler is ridicolous to be functional (the same with the little difuser). Many air intakes aren't functional, only aesthetics, and the "AWD" system may work well but i personally prefer the sensation from a rwd. But for me the worst part is that weights as much as a 2010s Sedan. Same conclusion. A "wanabe" petrolhead car.
@@martiisbertgelabert569 so? That doesn't make it fake. Its there for one design since you can't really curve the exhaust pipe itself into that curvy shape and two so that it acts as protection for the main exhaust pipe. That's like saying the metal lid of a led pencil that covers the eraser lid is fake. And again amplification isn't fake. Its making it louder. Its not making a fake sound. So that's not fake. Bmw on the other hand fakes sound through speakers. And they are functional. On the track they will make significant difference. And their main function is for styling to make it look more sporty "Aren't functional, only aesthetics" Way to contradict yourself! Aesthetics IS the function! And you can send most of the power to the rear wheels so that it behaves like a rwd car. That doesn't make it fake. That makes ti variable not fake. And so what if it weighs a lot. It makes up for it in its power and clever tech to help it feel agile and fun to drive and that's all that matters So it is a petrolhead car. No wannabe at all.
@@eventusvantos2770 That's the point, the function of many parts that use to be there to improve the performance are only to seem like a sportscar, and needs a lot of tech to feel like one. I don't like this car becouse represents the end of the analogic sportscar. I'm sure ir perfoms pretty well, but would not be my way if i had the cash and i would go for a sportscar. A lightweigt machine under the control of the driver vs a powerfull mole that calculates all for you and goes brum. Thanks, i won't keep it.
@@aao7785 sadly you are right. They are missing out then. A lot of fun, no matter what car it is. Even a slow momentum car can be fun. And a lot of good learnings made on the track that can be helpful even in normal driving for the average driver. In my case as an average driver, my wife gave me a first track experience for a 40th birthday present. Opened up a can of whoop ass. Good safe adrenaline on a modest budget.
Its not confusing at all if you look into. Cars have 5 core models, ABCES. SUVs fall under the G line and all start with GL, after that comes the model line, for example the GLA Class (GL for SUV and the A for its model line). Coupes are CL and roadsters are SL.
@@StrangerHappened its really not confusing. The CLA is the coupe version of the A Class, idk whats hard about that. The GLA Is the SUV version of the A Class and so on and so forth.
@@godlyweirdo It's confusing because they have their own cars competing in categories, specifically sedans. Like this car competes with AMG C63. Or for example, you have the E class coupe that has a starting price like the CLS coupe. To a normal consumer who wants a Mercedes I think it'd be a little confusing. IMO I think having C, E, S, & maybe CLS for sedans makes sense, they all start farther apart in price and the different upgrades closes the gap
Arguably the upgraded brakes actually don't make the car stop any faster(shorter braking distance) but rather helps with brake fade. Modern brakes today are already so good even on most normal cars. Maybe there's an idea for a "challenge" video here?
This second generation AMG CLA looks like it has gotten feedback from the first gen customers and made this car really fun. The drift mode isn't just a gimmick, it appears they have spend a bit of time tuning the car's behavior so it is actually great fun to drive in the twisties. The engine loves to rev, that's a welcoming feature especially in the turbo era. The interior quality is vastly improved. I think this car just looks really sharp even the normal CLA looks pretty good. It's gonna steal sales away from both Audi and BMW that's for sure. Now, i think the model 3 can be an even faster car... but should I cross shop a Tesla with Mercedes?
Mr. Meeseeks Nope, 3.2 for the Model 3 if you compare the perf models of the A class vs Model 3? If not, put the slowest one SR+ (0-62 in 5.6s) up against the A180 (8.8s) 😝

15:13 Mat replaced his Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus with a Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018). What a Samsung geek Mat is
i feel like he has to be sponsored by samsung if he replaced his s10.. s10 doesn't need to be replaced yet.
i used to be a samsung fanboi but lately apples been killing it.
@tom lewis samsung>apple until samsung followed suit with the iphone X price tag of $1000
also samsung kept following apple with getting rid of the headphone jack.
if theyre going to keep copying apple then may as well just get an iphone.
however with apple releasing the SE im sure android oems & samsung will cheapen their phones too. so while ill say right now that apple is better. 2021 is when we can see their response to the SE. so apple being better may not last too long unless samsung fucks 2021 up like they did 2020.
Skilled Driver + a Masterpiece Machine = Perfection
I got gla45 hatch not boy racer but for the massive room in the back when I fold my seats down . If your 5.6 you can sleep in back on an angle . Can't do that with 4 door car . Carry longer bigger loads . Great for shopping as well . way more practical for me .
Matt rages at fake exhaust
Matt: so what exactly happened
I fkn hate fake exhaust when u pay so much for a car. I prefer M5 exhaust or Nissan GTRs exhausts
Joel David Waterslide lover Those cars cost way more...
@@Manuel-me1yi
Make up your mind...
All these cars belong to different segments.
You're talking about sport compact sedan, super full size sedan, and a supercar...
This cla is something 🔥
Looks amazing, I have the A 35 atm but want this one next
10:55 There's actually also an aero pack with a big fixed spoiler
It's not available in the UK. Nor is the heads up display. I hate MB for that
9:52 “And that weird face that just Keep staring at you like, Nehhhhhh~”
You can actually have an improved aerodynamics pack with a wing similar to the a45s wing. Or at least in germany
@John Gilroy no i dont think they give u ducks
@@xIcarus227 i dont know if i love or hate you
@John Gilroy so the first aerodynamics pack has canards and a little spoiler in the pictures but the improved aerodynamics pack only has a wing🤷♂️. I dont know if they forgot to edit it in or you have to combine them
I'll be seeing these soon in Bradford...
You’re right about that. It will smoke the rs3 though
Sports Man 100% true 😂.
😂😂😂
Ik man, they always get things the easy way 😂
Rayeedhz it ok it loses value the minute it comes out of the show room
A stunning car! AMG never disappoints!!
It’s actually pretty good looking for using the new styling unlike the new e class
Great idea to split the youtube video timebar into named sections. Never seen this in a youtube video, excellent work, that makes it easier to review the sections you're particular keen on. Thumbs very up!!
Mercedes: let's make a new car
BMW: hold my beer
Hold my patrol
Me get into a Nissan patrol with 1000 up now hold my beer
What beer would be from bmw
We love carwow 2 seconds in and the three of use are here
Best looking AMG at the moment imo!
C63 would like to have a talk with you
@@thegreatafrican3367 so would the GT
I prefer the current CLA and CLS designs compared to the C and E class respectively.
I'm blown away at this "little" 2.0T performance. Unreal.
It looks like you’re drifting around every corner that thing is insane
Man this car looks freaking great. If I had the money I'd definitely buy one, meanwhile I'll be waiting for used prices to come down.
Matt: uploads video
Me: likes without seeing it knowing it's gonna be excellent.
Amg really knows how to make a good car.... This one perfect for car enthusiasts.. I agree with matt... People should buy it... If ur not a guy car thing its a really practical car left a side the headroom at the back.... But its still a the best car in market... Congratulations AMG!
For a car enthusiast maybe but not perfect for a true petrolhead:
Exhaust: fake
Cabin exhaust noise: fake
Front and rear spoilers: fake
Difuser: fake
Air intakes (left): fake
All wheel drive: fake
Wheigt: As hell (coming from a hatch)
A car made for young and rich enthusiasts to post really good pictures and stories.
@@martiisbertgelabert569 how are they fake????
@@eventusvantos2770 The exhaust you see aren't connected to the whole system, are just a peace of metal. The sound you hear inside is intensifyed from the speakers. The mini-rear spoiler is ridicolous to be functional (the same with the little difuser). Many air intakes aren't functional, only aesthetics, and the "AWD" system may work well but i personally prefer the sensation from a rwd. But for me the worst part is that weights as much as a 2010s Sedan.
Same conclusion. A "wanabe" petrolhead car.
@@martiisbertgelabert569 so? That doesn't make it fake. Its there for one design since you can't really curve the exhaust pipe itself into that curvy shape and two so that it acts as protection for the main exhaust pipe. That's like saying the metal lid of a led pencil that covers the eraser lid is fake.
And again amplification isn't fake. Its making it louder. Its not making a fake sound. So that's not fake. Bmw on the other hand fakes sound through speakers.
And they are functional. On the track they will make significant difference. And their main function is for styling to make it look more sporty
"Aren't functional, only aesthetics"
Way to contradict yourself! Aesthetics IS the function!
And you can send most of the power to the rear wheels so that it behaves like a rwd car. That doesn't make it fake. That makes ti variable not fake.
And so what if it weighs a lot. It makes up for it in its power and clever tech to help it feel agile and fun to drive and that's all that matters
So it is a petrolhead car. No wannabe at all.
@@eventusvantos2770 That's the point, the function of many parts that use to be there to improve the performance are only to seem like a sportscar, and needs a lot of tech to feel like one. I don't like this car becouse represents the end of the analogic sportscar. I'm sure ir perfoms pretty well, but would not be my way if i had the cash and i would go for a sportscar. A lightweigt machine under the control of the driver vs a powerfull mole that calculates all for you and goes brum. Thanks, i won't keep it.
Today my boss give me a ride in his CLA 45 Amg and man it was a blast. Its pretty quick, got a hard pull from it lol
Looks much better than the previous CLA45!
Might not need the extra cylinders but I sure as hell want it for the sound! Don’t jump on that train Mat.. The C63 needs a V8
TheM275 absolutely, theses 4 cylinders turbo engines sounds sad to be honest. Performance is amazing but where is the emotion??
cCcMamaw get the old a45 then if sound is your thing. More fun than a C63S on track
@@kdkd693 no average person really takes their cars on track
@@aao7785 sadly you are right. They are missing out then. A lot of fun, no matter what car it is. Even a slow momentum car can be fun. And a lot of good learnings made on the track that can be helpful even in normal driving for the average driver.
In my case as an average driver, my wife gave me a first track experience for a 40th birthday present. Opened up a can of whoop ass. Good safe adrenaline on a modest budget.
@@aao7785 no average person buys a full model amg
"If i buy you a drink , will you show me your crumb crevice?" " I think i'm going to get pepper sprayed !"
Mercedes models really confuse me. I started having a look at their range and there are so many trims and versions I got lost.
it's actually more confusing than Porsche which is an achievement
Its not confusing at all if you look into. Cars have 5 core models, ABCES. SUVs fall under the G line and all start with GL, after that comes the model line, for example the GLA Class (GL for SUV and the A for its model line). Coupes are CL and roadsters are SL.
@@godlyweirdo Still confusing. This CLA from the video comes from A-class but is bigger so it should be B- or C-class.
@@StrangerHappened its really not confusing. The CLA is the coupe version of the A Class, idk whats hard about that. The GLA Is the SUV version of the A Class and so on and so forth.
@@godlyweirdo It's confusing because they have their own cars competing in categories, specifically sedans. Like this car competes with AMG C63. Or for example, you have the E class coupe that has a starting price like the CLS coupe. To a normal consumer who wants a Mercedes I think it'd be a little confusing. IMO I think having C, E, S, & maybe CLS for sedans makes sense, they all start farther apart in price and the different upgrades closes the gap
Arguably the upgraded brakes actually don't make the car stop any faster(shorter braking distance) but rather helps with brake fade.
Modern brakes today are already so good even on most normal cars.
Maybe there's an idea for a "challenge" video here?
I am a doctor and saw one in the parking lot at work, I was thinking about what new car to get and after watching this, I'm def gonna get this
This second generation AMG CLA looks like it has gotten feedback from the first gen customers and made this car really fun.
The drift mode isn't just a gimmick, it appears they have spend a bit of time tuning the car's behavior so it is actually great fun to drive in the twisties.
The engine loves to rev, that's a welcoming feature especially in the turbo era.
The interior quality is vastly improved.
I think this car just looks really sharp even the normal CLA looks pretty good.
It's gonna steal sales away from both Audi and BMW that's for sure.
Now, i think the model 3 can be an even faster car... but should I cross shop a Tesla with Mercedes?
James B i did, Model 3 won. Previous car was A45. No regrets
Ken Dibble model 3 is slower to 60 in 5.6 seconds compared to 3.7
Mr. Meeseeks Nope, 3.2 for the Model 3 if you compare the perf models of the A class vs Model 3?
If not, put the slowest one SR+ (0-62 in 5.6s) up against the A180 (8.8s) 😝
im in love with that thing, i need one
10:51 thats wrong. There is a aero+ package with a wing 😉
This car has the aero plus package
Dian Van Der Merwe no, it has normal aero package. This one has: www.mercedes-benz.de/passengercars/mercedes-benz-cars/car-configurator.html/configuration/CCci/DE/de/de_DE__1183541__AU-671_GC-426_LE-L_LU-149_MJ-801_PC-B26-DN2-P60-PAA-PBF-U59-U62_PS-012%23-960%23-B15%23_SA-01U-02B-08U-09U-14U-16U-17U-20U-213-243-250-256-258-270-286-287-294-310-345-351-355-362-365-367-440-446-458-475-486-513-51U-537-543-549-580-632-70B-772-776-79B-7U3-840-859-877-897-916-927-961-969-B59-L6K-R01-RSZ-U01-U10-U19-U26-U55-U60-U70-U88-U94_SC-029-084-085-0V7-1B3-2U8-3U6-502-51B-6P5-7B4-8U6-8U8-998-B09-B10-K14-K31-K37-R5E/wheels
@@martinkarnutsch Looks better with that wing than the boot lip spoiler.
Wing looks so out of place tho, rather opt for the bootlid spoiler.
Oh okay cool
This vid is not even a day old and already 600k+ views! That’s called ‘cornering the market’ 👏👏
Damm this car has got the best look in all the Mercedes
10:00 if you want more space in the back there’s also the cooler CLA45 shooting break estate version
It’s a cool wagon, so here in the US we don’t get it bcuz of our stupid crossover obsession.
That's a LOT of power from a 2.0 Liter 4 banger.
Introducing the more grown up car..... Now let's go into drift mode 😂
Blown away. Never liked the CLA but this has changed my mind
Matt is best he experience at honest exposing cars
Matt, I need a couple of Carwow pants with the "Stick of truth" legend printed on front 😁
You could sell thousands of those
