A Modern Classic: Introducing the 2026 Mercedes-Benz CLA
At the crossroads of sophisticated design and cutting-edge engineering sits the 2026 Mercedes-Benz CLA Base, poised as Mercedes-Benz’s most accessible sedan, delivering a unique offering to luxury compact sedan enthusiasts across Tulsa, Bixby, and Sand Springs. Proudly replacing the A-Class as the brand’s smallest sedan, the CLA establishes itself as an intoxicating blend of technological innovation and refined heritage.
This new model year maintains continuity with its predecessor's architecture, offering the well-calibrated 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 engine enhanced by a mild 48-volt hybrid system introduced in prior years. The goal is to marry spirited acceleration with impressive fuel efficiency, showcasing Mercedes-Benz’s advancement in sustainable performance without compromising the response and engagement drivers desire.
Jackie Cooper Mercedes-Benz extends an invitation to experience this model in the inviting environment of our dealership, where transparent communication and personalized service underscore every customer interaction. Visitors from communities like Jenks and Owasso find our dealership to be a bastion of trust and expertise, an extension of the brand’s deep-rooted family values, and a hub for luxury automotive excellence.
Refined Elegance: Exterior Craftsmanship and Styling
The 2026 CLA captures attention immediately with its sleek silhouette and signature Mercedes-Benz design philosophy, marrying aesthetic appeal with aerodynamic efficiency. Although unchanged from its predecessor, the exterior remains a statement piece in the compact luxury sedan segment, conveying both sportiness and sophistication to motorists throughout Bixby and Sand Springs.
Distinguished LED headlamps and taillights contribute to distinctive nighttime presence, while coupe-inspired rooflines add a dynamic edge that sets the CLA apart from traditional sedans. This design enhances the car's low drag coefficient, optimizing fuel savings and reducing road noise for a quieter cabin experience.
Wheel options and exterior colors are thoughtfully curated, providing opportunities to personalize the CLA to match the lifestyle and taste of drivers from Tulsa’s vibrant neighborhoods. The vehicle’s compact proportions and balanced stance support nimble maneuverability, a hallmark appreciated by urban drivers navigating city streets and suburban roads alike.
Elevated Driving: Powertrain and Performance Insights
Under the hood, the base CLA harnesses a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-4 that delivers a commendable 221 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque before mild hybrid augmentation. This system integrates a 48-volt mild hybrid, subtly boosting throttle response and fuel economy during everyday driving scenarios, especially noticeable in stop-and-go traffic around areas like Broken Arrow and Tulsa’s metropolitan corridors.
A 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission ensures smooth and responsive gear shifts, and a front-wheel-drive layout comes standard, providing balanced handling suitable for diverse driving conditions. For those prioritizing traction, all-wheel drive is available in higher trims, enhancing stability and control on varied road surfaces common in Oklahoma’s changing seasons.
Performance benchmarks such as a 0-60 mph sprint in approximately 5.7 seconds on AWD-equipped CLA250 models underscore the sedan’s sporty capabilities. While the base CLA focuses on accessible performance, AMG trims cater to enthusiasts seeking even more dynamic acceleration and handling precision.
