About This 2017 Mercedes-Benz CLA 250

This CLA 250 comes in at 117,326 miles — a number that tells you this car has been lived in, but for a vehicle built to Mercedes-Benz engineering standards, that mileage is very manageable with proper maintenance history. The striking black exterior gives the CLA its signature aggressive, coupe-like silhouette that turns heads on the road, while the four-door layout keeps things practical for everyday use. At this price point, you're getting a legitimate luxury badge with real performance credentials, not just a nameplate.

2017 Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 Performance and Engine

Turbocharged Power in a Compact Package

Under the hood of this CLA 250 sits a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine producing 208 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque — numbers that make the car feel genuinely quick in everyday driving situations. Mercedes pairs this engine with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, which delivers fast, seamless gear changes and contributes to an efficient, engaging driving experience. The front-wheel-drive configuration keeps the car light and nimble, making it a natural fit for navigating the streets of Bloomington, the I-10, and the broader San Bernardino County freeway network. The CLA 250 is EPA-rated at around 26 mpg city and 38 mpg highway, so your fuel costs stay reasonable even with daily commuting.

Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 Features and Interior

Luxury Appointments at Every Turn

The CLA 250 trim is the gateway to the CLA lineup and it comes well-equipped from the factory. Buyers can expect features like a 7-inch COMAND infotainment display, Bluetooth connectivity, dual-zone automatic climate control, LED daytime running lights, and a sport-tuned suspension that keeps the drive feeling taut and controlled. The interior is finished with quality materials that remind you at every moment that this is a Mercedes-Benz — from the analog instrument cluster with a digital display to the multi-function steering wheel. Seating is comfortable for front occupants, with the rear seats offering enough room for two adults on shorter trips. The low roofline is a design trade-off that gives the CLA its sporty coupe profile.

Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 Reliability and Ownership

What Owners and Experts Say

The 2017 CLA 250 benefits from several years of refinement since Mercedes introduced the CLA to the U.S. market in 2014. Owners consistently praise the CLA's build quality, responsive steering, and the overall premium feel the car delivers compared to competitors at this price tier. The turbocharged 2.0-liter engine is a proven unit found across multiple Mercedes-Benz models, which also means parts availability and mechanic familiarity are not an issue. As with any used luxury vehicle, it's smart to stay current on scheduled maintenance — particularly oil changes using the correct specification oil, transmission fluid service, and brake inspections. When maintained properly, CLA 250s are known to cover high mileage without catastrophic mechanical issues. A pre-purchase inspection from an independent Mercedes-Benz-familiar mechanic is always a worthwhile step.

Always review the vehicle history report and consider an independent inspection to verify the car's service record.
