Shooting Brake on the 2015 Mercedes-Benz CLA 250
On paper, the Shooting Brake is quite simply a roomier version of the CLA that we get on our shores. The two cars are essentially identical from the tip of the front bumper to the A-pillar, but beyond that the Shooting Brake gets a longer roofline and noticeably taller rear windows. The CLA's rakish C-pillar has been retained, and it's the main visual difference between the Shooting Brake and more traditional station wagons like the C-Class Estate.
The Shooting Brake's rear end falls in line with the aforementioned CLS thanks to a slanted hatch, elongated tail lamps and a roof-mounted spoiler. Don't let the family-friendly look fool you, the Shooting Brake still embodies the concept of form over function but the ratio has been tweaked to provide a little more of the latter.
The Shooting Brake stretches 182.2 inches long, 69.6 inches wide and 56.2 inches tall, dimensions that make it exactly the same size as its four-door counterpart. It weighs about 66 pounds more than the 3,395-pound CLA 250 coupe.
