Is the Mercedes-Benz CLA powerful enough for highway driving?

In overseas markets, the third-generation CLA is available with a 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine (M252) featuring 48V mild-hybrid technology. It produces 134 hp in the CLA 180 and 161 hp in the CLA 200 . These variants are not available in Malaysia . For buyers considering the Mercedes-Benz CLA, that matters because it affects how easy the car is to live with, whether for commuting, family use, long-distance driving or ownership costs. The useful way to read this is not as an isolated specification, but as a clue to how the car will feel in real daily use.
