Before the Mercedes-Benz Concept Style Coupe was introduced at the Beijing Motor Show, famous pop star Jessie J took to the stage to perform her hit song “Domino.” What's the connection? Well, an “avant garde” artist was appropriate to introduce an “avant garde” concept car, says Dieter Zetsche- Mercedes Chairman of the Board. “I hope you’ll agree that was a tremendous performance for a tremendous car,” Zestche said before embracing the pop star.
The Concept Style Coupe gives us an early look at the new Mercedes compact four-door coupe. Zetsche confirmed today that the new model, previously referred to as the “baby CLS”, will be called the CLA-Class when it reaches production in the not-to-distant future.
Engine: 2 liter 4-cylinder
HP: 211 hp
HP/Liter: 105.5 hp per liter
The Powerful 2.0-litre version petrol engine generation with 155 kW combined with the 4MATIC all-wheel drive system and the 7G-DCT dual clutch automatic transmission. Among the highlights of the four-cylinder engine are its direct-injection system with exhaust gas turbocharging, an enhanced combustion system and extended stratification ranges for lean-burn operation using fast-acting injectors for the multiple fuel injections, and multi-spark ignition according to need.
“This Concept Style Coupe is expressive and powerful in its design. We are staking our claim very clearly here. This is the model against which sporty vehicles in the executive segment will have to measure themselves in future. The almost production-standard Concept Style Coupe sets a new benchmark for avantgarde design in the executive segment”, emphasized Gorden Wagener, Head of Design at Mercedes-Benz. “Its breathtaking proportions, sinewy fluid surfaces and sculptural lines are the physical expression of our dynamic design idiom.” - Dr Dieter Zetsche, Head of Mercedes-Benz Cars.
