Interior
The interior layout, fit and finish
The interior of the CLA Shooting Brake has a serious wow factor, especially if you specify it with dual 10.3in screens (as standard, the infotainment screen is that size, but instrumentation is displayed on a 7.0in monitor).
It helps that its graphics are razor-sharp, and usability is similarly impressive. The various menus are logically laid out and you can choose between pressing the on-screen icons, scrolling with the responsive touchpads or issuing voice commands; the latter interface recognises natural speech instead of requiring you to remember specific phrases.
