TEASED! Mercedes-Benz Gives Us Just A TASTE Of The All-new CLA — What Will It NEED To SUCCEED?

Early this morning, Mercedes-Benz dropped a teaser image of an all-new car. In the States we're awfully familiar with its entry-level success, the CLA-Class.

And it's getting an all-new generation, soon.

Given that Mercedes-Benz will not be attending the 2019 Detroit Auto Show (NAIAS), we're 100 percent sure it will not debut in the Motor City; however, it could make for an internet reveal and make its first appearance at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show (GIMS).

With the CLA based upon the A-Class, we're thinking that the vehicle will be largely based on that vehicle. That means all of the latest technology seen in the all-new A will appear in the CLA.

Having said that, we've got to ask: With the added competition in form of the BMW 1-Series and Audi A3, what does the CLA NEED to SUCCEED?

It no longer needs to success against the A3 or 1 Series sedan (when it comes). That's where the A-Sedan comes into play. The CLA needs to succeed where it succeeded before: attracting entry-level buyers with a stylish offering but with a higher quality interior and better ride. If the A-Sedan is any indication, this will definitely be baked into the CLA so it should advance the success of the current gen
