Mercedes CLA 118 Shooting Brake 35 AMG 4MATIC SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7G - Terrain

Is the Mercedes CLA 118 Shooting Brake 35 AMG 4MATIC SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7G also suitable for off-road use? Here usually a distinction is made between "soft-roaders" and real off-roaders. For real rough terrain it needs more than just an all-wheel drive. The SUV boom of the last 10 years has produced many models that look off-road but have limited capability to do so.

The Mercedes CLA has all-wheel drive, which means that the basic requirement is already met. Ground clearance, another important criterion, in this vehicle is 83 mm. This is definitely too low for off-road use.

The integrated 360-degree camera can also help you move forward on rough terrain and avoid damage.

Rating: The car does have all-wheel drive, but not least the lack of ground clearance indicates that a Mercedes CLA is not made for off-road use.
