2019 Mercedes CLA250

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2019 CLA250.

The 2019 Mercedes‑CLA250 is a compact luxury sedan built on Mercedes’ modular platform and powered by a four‑cylinder engine that requires a 5.9‑quart oil capacity, accepting a range of low‑viscosity synthetics—0W‑20, 0W‑30, or 0W‑40—reflecting its modern engineering tolerances. As a 2019 model, it falls within the early‑to‑mid segment of the CLA’s production run, positioning it in a period where the model’s reliability record has already shown consistent durability, meaning researchers can expect the vehicle to align with the established dependability trends of its generation.
