JAKARTA - Mercedes-Benz has officially revealed the manifestation of the latest generation of the CLA model at the 39th Anniversary Festival in France with a hidden sticker that spreads throughout the body.

Despite being covered in camouflage stickers, the car shows a different form than the previous generation even approaching the concept version that was revealed last year.

Launching from Road & Track, Tuesday, October 15, the exterior is decorated with a goal with a three-end star logo which is the hallmark of Mercedes-Benz. In addition, the sedan has an air-intake on the lower front bumper.

The front phase adopts a similar design as the concept version with a sharper and more aggressive LED forward light from the previous generation.

The side has an arch flowing with a decoration sticker 'd'Heres' covering its body curves. For these entry-level sedans, this German manufacturer complements it with a pop-out door like the latest model.

It is estimated that the back will be equipped with a charging gate or refueling. However, it is certain that the latest generation CLA will have a choice of pure electricity (EV) or gasoline-fueled versions.

This luxury automotive manufacturer will take advantage of the Mercedes Modular Architecture (MMA) platform for the next generation of CLA which is claimed to have high flexibility so that it is suitable for adoption with gasoline and electric propulsion engines.

However, it is possible that the plug-in hybrid (PHEV) version for the latest CLA is also presented to provide many choices for customers.

The back design looks round like the previous generation with a trunk cap spoiler and a beautiful wide back light. Unfortunately, the camouflage display is not fully illuminated at the back.

The presence of camouflage in the latest generation of CLA also indicates that the sedan will soon enter the production stage. It is hoped that the EV version will match the concept version.

As an illustration, the concept is to have a 235 dk electric motor and have a distance of 750 km. With the MMA platform, the latest CLA can charge for 15 minutes to cover a distance of up to 400 km.
