The 2018 Mercedes-Benz CLA Coupe comes with a 208-hp 2.0L turbo 4-cylinder engine, and earns an EPA-estimated fuel economy rating of 24 mpg in the city and 37 mpg on the highway. Meanwhile, the Lexus IS 350 RWD is powered by a 311-hp 3.5L V6 engine. Although it delivers higher horsepower, it falls behind in the fuel economy department; it earns an EPA-estimated rating of just 20 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway.
The new CLA comes with rain-sensing windshield wipers, so you can drive more confidently through Sunol and Milpitas. It also features driver lumbar support and memory settings for a comfortable ride—no matter the distance. Unfortunately, none of those features are standard for the IS 350 RWD. What’s more, you’ll enjoy these refined features in a comfier cabin, as the CLA 250 offers 56 inches of front shoulder room, compared to the 55.9 inches in the IS 350 RWD.
Before any equipment add-ons, the CLA 250 and the IS 350 RWD have stark price differences. The 2018 Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 starts at $32,700 MSRP, while the 2018 Lexus IS 350 RWD starts at $41,830 MSRP. Fully equipped, the Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 starts at $41,470. The Lexus IS 350 RWD, on the other hand, starts at $44,855. Either way, you’ll save considerably by choosing the CLA 250 option, and you’ll enjoy exclusive Mercedes-Benz convenience and technology features to boot.
