We’ve heard the story before about Mercedes-Benz considering the addition of a stylish estate body style to the range of the new CLA compact model, and now, sources from within the company have reaffirmed the news.
Speaking to reporters from Autonews, the unnamed Mercedes insiders said that the CLA wagon would be similar, if not identical, in style to the larger CLS Shooting Brake sharing the same curvy roofline, name and increased headroom and luggage space over its sedan counterpart.
The sources did not say whether the CLA Shooting Brake model will be offered in the States, where demand for station wagon models is much lower than in Europe.
It was also mentioned that both a rumored convertible and a lower, roadster edition of the CLA have been put “off the table”, at least for this generation of the model, but they might be added in the next iteration of the series at the end of the decade.
