Trunk dimensions Mercedes-Benz CLA

The trunk of the Mercedes Benz CLA Coupé 2013 offers a volume of about 16.6 cu ft, which can be expanded up to 47.7 cu ft by folding down the rear seats.

The rear bench is split 60:40, allowing flexibility when transporting larger items. The interior is designed with high-quality materials, featuring clean lines and modern finishes.

Trunk dimensions vary within the model range but are generally compact and sporty. The loading edge is relatively high, which makes loading more difficult, but the shape of the trunk is well usable.

Practical details such as tie-down hooks and thoughtful interior lighting increase functionality. Overall, the trunk offers a balanced combination of style and practicality typical for a coupe of this class.

Model Information

The Mercedes Benz CLA Coupé is a compact luxury vehicle known for its sporty design and innovative technology. The latest series of the CLA Coupé combines elegance with dynamic driving performance and state-of-the-art assistance systems.

With a length of about 4.69 meters and a width of 1.83 meters, the vehicle presents an appealing presence on the road. The CLA Coupé targets buyers who value style and driving pleasure without sacrificing comfort and functionality.

Variants of the Same Series

Within the CLA lineup, there are several variants that differ in design and functionality. Besides the CLA Coupé, the CLA Sedan is also available, offering a more traditional body style. This sedan has a larger trunk and a different target audience.

Additionally, there is the CLA Shooting Brake, which combines coupe design with wagon functionality. Buyers should be aware that trunk volumes and overall usability can differ significantly between these variants.

Model Year Differences

The first generation of the CLA Coupé was introduced in 2013, and since then there have been several model refreshes and update cycles. The most significant changes affecting body dimensions and trunk volume occurred in 2019 with the introduction of the second generation.

This brought improved aerodynamics and slightly altered dimensions that optimized trunk functionality. Future model years may bring further adjustments, which have not yet been officially confirmed.

Direct Competitors

In the same price class and size, the CLA Coupé competes with models like the Audi A3 Coupé and the BMW 2 Series Coupé. The Audi A3 Coupé offers a trunk volume of about 15 cu ft, making it somewhat less spacious than the CLA.

The BMW 2 Series Coupé has a comparable volume of around 13.8 cu ft. These differences in trunk volume can be decisive for buyers who prioritize maximum cargo capacity.

More Affordable Alternatives

For buyers seeking similar trunk dimensions but with a smaller budget, models like the Ford Focus or Volkswagen Golf could be considered. The Ford Focus offers a trunk volume of about 13.2 cu ft, while the Volkswagen Golf comes to about 13.4 cu ft.

Both models provide a good combination of functionality and value for money but are not comparable to the CLA Coupé in terms of features and luxury level.

Trunk Volume

The Mercedes‑Benz CLA Coupé 2025 offers a trunk volume of 17.9 cu ft (manufacturer specification). This is 20.48% larger than the average car. Measured against the total vehicle volume (L×W×H/2), the trunk accounts for about 7.9% — 1.5 percentage points more than average.

Everyday impact: 17.9 cu ft is a convincing figure for a compact premium coupe. Shopping bags, several medium-sized or two to three large suitcases, as well as sports equipment, can generally be transported without problems.

However, this number only reflects volume — how practical the cargo space actually is depends on steps, trunk shape, and opening.

Vehicle Size and Parking Friendliness

The exterior dimensions are 185.8 in length, 73.2 in width, and 57.9 in height. Compared to an average car, the CLA Coupé is 6.3 in longer, 0.4 in wider, and 3.9 in lower (-6.1%).

Compared to a “normal” parking space, the vehicle is 11 in shorter and 25.6 in narrower.

In practice, this means parking in standard parking spots is usually easier than with longer vehicles; there is noticeable space to the boundaries if the car is centered. The low height can be advantageous in tight underground garages but reduces headroom inside.

Trunk Usability and Flexibility

The raw volume is above average, but crucial for everyday use are the opening, loading edge, shape, and possibly foldable rear seats. Since the CLA has a coupe silhouette, it is expected that the roofline is flatter — this increases sportiness but can limit usable interior height in the trunk and the loading opening.

Practical consequences:

Volume is sufficient for vacation luggage, large shopping trips, and sports equipment; bulky, very tall items might be tight.
The flatter body makes storing tall items more difficult than in high-bodied wagons or SUVs.
Foldable rear seats (if available) are helpful for longer items — for coupe models, it’s worth checking seat split and pass-through opening.

General Model Information

Familiarity: The CLA Coupé is an established Mercedes‑Benz model in the compact premium class, appealing to buyers who want coupe-like lines combined with a practical trunk.

Special Features / Characteristics: Sporty, low silhouette with still generous trunk volume of 17.9 cu ft. Lower height looks sporty and can benefit driving dynamics and aerodynamics but limits interior height.

Price-Performance Ratio: As a premium vehicle, the CLA typically offers a mix of design, driving comfort, and equipment. The above-average trunk volume increases everyday usability within the segment and improves practicality compared to many competitors with similar body styles.

Competitor Models: BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé, Audi A3 Sedan, models from the compact premium segment (depending on equipment and engine, other sedans/sport coupes may also be considered).
