The Mercedes CLA250 features a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four engine coupled to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The engine is rated for 221 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, and can be had with front-wheel drive as standard or 4Matic all-wheel drive as an option. It's a nice step up from the engine in the A220 sedan that I reviewed.

The 2.0 Liter 4 Cylinder Turbo is a potent powertrain, with lots of torque and supremely smooth power delivery all the way to redline. The Dynamic Select switch livens up throttle and transmission response quite a bit when turned to Sport mode, though the paddle shifters never deliver especially crisp gear changes.

The second generation CLA250 has a much wider track than last year's model, by 2.5 inches in front and 2.2 inches in the back, contributing to more planted handling through bends. Between the capable chassis and the power boost over the A220, it's clear the CLA250 delivers on its promise of being the sportier entry-level Mercedes four-door.
