NEW Mercedes-Benz CLA 2026 | 1.5 4MATIC 163 HP | POV Test Drive #2707 | Joe Black

🎥 2026 Mercedes-Benz CLA 200 4MATIC (Full Hybrid) | 0-100 & Review | Joe Black The new generation of compact luxury from Mercedes is here! Meet the latest **Mercedes-Benz CLA 200 4MATIC**. It is now a "Full Hybrid" featuring a 1.5L 4-cylinder engine that generates **163 HP, plus an extra 30 HP from the electric motor**. Thanks to the new 8-speed dual-clutch transmission (8G-eDCT) and AWD system (4MATIC), this compact coupe weighs a hefty **1,770 kg**. With a starting price in Poland of *212,500 PLN* (~€49,500), it's not cheap. But do these modern hybrid systems actually save fuel when you drive dynamically? 🔥 JOE'S TEST REALITY CHECK: Mercedes claims a 0-100 km/h sprint in 7.9 seconds. *My Dragy measurement (0-100 km/h): 8.0 seconds.* ✅ (Almost perfectly accurate! The 4MATIC system provides great traction, and the electric boost eliminates turbo lag off the line). ⛽ *SHOCKING CONSUMPTION (Factory vs Reality):* The manufacturer claims this car burns just *5.2 l/100 km* in the combined cycle. During our dynamic test drive: *Joe Black Test: 13.2 l/100 km!* 😱⛽ (When you force a 1.5L engine to push nearly 1.8 tons of AWD car at high revs, the fuel consumption skyrockets. That is almost triple the factory claim!). 👇 Full specs, global prices, and competition links below! --- ⏰ VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS • 0:00 Intro: Beautiful Coupe, Shocking Consumption? • 0:10 Design: The elegant sweeping lines of the CLA • 1:10 Engine: New 1.5L Full Hybrid (163 HP + 30 HP) • 2:00 City Driving (Hybrid system & 8G-eDCT in action) • 2:58 Acceleration Test (0-100 km/h - Result: 8.0s ✅) • 3:10 Highway Drive (Stability & noise levels with 4MATIC) • 15:20 Fuel Consumption Test (Result: 13.2 l/100 km - Myth busted!) --- ⚙️ VEHICLE SPECIFICATIONS (Tested Unit) • Brand: Mercedes-Benz • Model: CLA 200 4MATIC • Production Period: *From 2025* • Manufacturing Locations: 🇭🇺 *Kecskemét* (Hungary) • 🇩🇪 *Rastatt* (Germany) • 🇨🇳 *Beijing* (China) #### 🚀 DRIVETRAIN • Hybrid Type: *Full Hybrid* • Engine: *1499 cc (4-Cylinder, Petrol)* • ICE Power: *163 HP* (120 kW) • EV Power: *30 HP* (22 kW) • Torque: *250 Nm* • Transmission: *8G-eDCT* (8-Speed Automatic) • Drive: *4MATIC* (All-Wheel Drive) #### 📊 PERFORMANCE & DIMENSIONS • 0-100 km/h (Factory): *7.9 s* • 0-100 km/h (Joe Black Test): *8.0 s* ✅ • Top Speed: *228 km/h* • Curb Weight (EU): *1,770 kg* (Heavy for its size!) • Towing Capacity (Braked): *2,000 kg* • CO2 Emissions: 119 g/km (EU6e-bis) --- 💰 PRICE OF A NEW MERCEDES CLA 200 4MATIC (2025/2026) IN 10 COUNTRIES The tested model starts at *212,500 PLN* in Poland.
