If you’re
looking for the extra space and practicality that estates provide, but aren't a
fan of their rigid styling, then the Mercedes CLA Shooting Brake is the car
you’re after. Off the back of Big Motoring World’s most successful month in 20 years of
trading, we look at
this revolutionary style of estate car.
Looks
The CLA
Shooting Brake is probably the most stylish estate car you’ll find anywhere. It’s
most distinguishing feature is its curvy roofline, which elegantly drops away
towards the back of the car. From
the front it looks identical to the sporty CLA saloon, but from the side, the
higher roofline and swept-back looks are clear for all to see. All models come
with twin exhausts and striking 18in alloy
wheels. The Sport versions also come with xenon headlamps, privacy glass and speed-sensitive
steering.
Interior
Inside, things
aren’t too different from the CLA coupe's front space – one of the coupe’s big
strengths. The dash remains the same, as do the seats and wheel adjustability. Most
of the car’s functions are easily controlled through the tablet-style central
screen which is glued to the dash, whilst the buttons for the stereo and
navigation controls remain the same. The cabin is fitted out with an array of
pleasant-feeling materials and finishes which add real comfort. All models get
a steering-wheel mounted gearshifter and a beautifully detailed joystick-style
lever on the centre console.
Practicality
Although in
the design of this estate car, looks and practicality have shared equal
importance, the CLA Shooting Break still does its job. The boot holds a roomy
495 litres, which is way more than you could expect from a car of this
attractiveness. If you tilt the rear seatbacks to a more upright 'cargo'
position, the space increases by another 100 litres. Up front, there's plenty
of storage space dotted around the cabin, while the electric parking brake and
steering wheel-mounted gear lever free up space for a roomier cockpit. Whilst
the rear headroom has also been improved by 40mm.
