Base Powertrain Performance
Whether you purchase the 2017 Audi A3 or the 2017 Mercedes-Benz CLA, you can look forward to a standard turbocharged 2.0L inline-four engine under the hood, along with a dual-clutch automatic transmission and the option of all-wheel drive. With the quattro® all-wheel drive setup on the Audi A3, this powertrain sends out a total of 220 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. The Mercedes-Benz CLA's turbocharged four-cylinder engine, on the other hand, is unable to top 208 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque.
Standard Features
Both of these small luxury sedans feature seating for up to five passengers, both models roll in on 17-inch wheels, and both even come standard with features like Bluetooth®, power adjustable front seats and lumbar support, dual-zone automatic climate control, and an advanced multimedia system with an abundance of entertainment and information features. However, the Audi A3 stands apart because, unlike the Mercedes-Benz CLA, it is equipped with additional luxury amenities, such as standard leather upholstery, a panoramic sunroof, rear parking sensors, and more.
Affordability
In addition to all of the aforementioned advantages, the 2017 Audi A3 is also a more affordable option than the 2017 Mercedes-Benz CLA:
- Audi A3 - MSRP from $31,200 to $34,200
- Mercedes-Benz CLA - MSRP from $32,400 to $34,400
