Black Mercedes CLA 250 from a front three-quarter

Low Roof

Black Mercedes-Benz CLA 250

A saloon with the roofline of a coupé and the cheapest ambient-lit cabin Mercedes sells.

Mercedes invented the four-door coupé to sell a shape rather than a size, and this is where the idea now starts.

The CLA is a compact saloon with the roof pulled down and the glass shortened — frameless doors, a tail that falls away, and a cabin that lights itself in sixty-four colours after dark. All of it for a hundred and two dollars a day.

Black Mercedes CLA 250 in profile
01The roof falls from above the front seats all the way to the boot lid. That line is the entire reason this car exists.

The frameless doors are the tell. Nothing at this price has them, and they are the reason the CLA reads as the expensive small Mercedes rather than the cheap one — the glass drops when you pull the handle and seals against the roof when you shut it.

The cabin does the rest. Twin screens under a single pane, turbine vents, and lighting that runs through the fascia and the doors in whatever colour you set it to.

Nothing else at this money has frameless doors.
You notice, every time you open one.

Queries

How much does it cost to rent a Mercedes CLA 250 in Los Angeles?
The black CLA 250 is $102 a day. Five days is priced as a block rather than as five separate days, and twenty-one as another; the quote takes whichever combination is cheaper for your dates, and neither has to be asked for. Delivery to our Beverly Hills partner hotels is complimentary.
Is the back seat usable?
For two adults on a short run, yes — but the roofline costs headroom, which is the trade the shape asks for. If the back seat matters more than the profile, take the GLC.
Can I see the dates before I call?
Yes — the diary on this page is the live fleet calendar. If a date is open there, it is open.
