How many Mercedes-Benz CLA are left in New Zealand?
Uncommon 1 in 1,594 on the road Built 2013-2026 Sold new in New Zealand
Updated from the NZTA Motor Vehicle Register, counted as at 31 August 2026. Recounted every month.
A low, swoopy four-door launched in 2013 on the front-drive A-Class platform, sold as a small coupe-styled companion to the CLS. Mercedes made much of how slippery its shape was through the air. A Shooting Brake wagon followed, and the CLA45 AMG put a very powerful 2.0-litre turbo four and four-wheel drive under the same skin.
