The Mercedes-Benz CLA has not been discontinued. It is an imported model, and the currently available versions are the 2019 and 2018 models. There are a total of 11 models in the Mercedes-Benz CLA series currently on sale, featuring two engine options: 1.6T and 2.0T, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. Below is an extended introduction to the model: 1. Exterior Design: The new-generation Mercedes-Benz CLA features a single horizontal star-pattern grille at the front, with redesigned irregular polygonal headlights on both sides, resembling the style of the new A-Class. In terms of dimensions, the new-generation model measures 4693mm in length, 1830mm in width, and 1413mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2699mm. 2. Rear Design: The new-generation Mercedes-Benz CLA adopts a new inverted triangular design for the taillights, which extend to the rear tailgate, giving the rear a wider appearance and a closer resemblance to the new CLS. In detail, the rearview camera is hidden, and the Mercedes emblem automatically tilts at a certain angle when reversing. 3. Interior Design: The new-generation Mercedes-Benz CLA shares the same interior design as the A-Class, featuring dual 10.25-inch LCD screens, air vents styled similarly to the new CLS, a new three-spoke multifunction steering wheel, frameless doors, and extensive orange stitching on the door panels, center console, and seats, enhancing its youthful and fashionable appeal. Additionally, the new model is equipped with the latest MBUX human-machine interaction system. 4. Powertrain: The new-generation Mercedes-Benz CLA is built on Mercedes-Benz's second-generation MFA2 platform and shares the same powertrain as the overseas version of the A-Class. It is powered by a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power output of 165kW (224PS) and a peak torque of 350N·m, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

I've been keeping up with the latest news about the Mercedes-Benz CLA. As far as I know, Mercedes is indeed planning to discontinue the CLA model, mainly because the brand is consolidating its lineup and introducing the new CLE series as its replacement. There are several reasons for this discontinuation: Mercedes is reducing traditional fuel-powered models to align with its electrification strategy while also complying with stricter EU emission regulations. Model aging is another issue—the CLA, launched in 2013, hasn't seen major updates in nearly a decade, leading to declining customer demand. Mercedes wants to focus its resources on more fuel-efficient and intelligent electric versions. Future maintenance shouldn't be a major concern, as parts supply will continue for a few more years. The resale value of used CLAs might dip slightly, but they're still worth driving. I think car enthusiasts could consider buying the new CLE or waiting for Mercedes' EQ electric series to stay trendy and up-to-date.

What is the equivalent of Euro 5 emission standard in China?

China's National 5 emission standard, also known as the fifth phase of the national motor vehicle emission standard, has been implemented nationwide since January 1, 2017. The emission control level of the National 5 standard is equivalent to the Euro 5 emission standard implemented in Europe, which the European Union has been enforcing since 2009. The National 5 standard imposes stricter limits on motor vehicle emissions such as nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter compared to the National 4 standard. Below is the timeline for the implementation of emission standards: 1. National 1 standard, implemented nationwide on July 1, 2001, mainly imposed restrictions on carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and particulate emissions. 2. National 2 standard, implemented nationwide on July 1, 2004, required a 30% reduction in carbon monoxide and a 55% reduction in hydrocarbons and carbon oxides. 3. National 3 standard, implemented nationwide on July 1, 2007, required a 40% reduction in total pollutant emissions compared to National 2. 4. National 4 standard, implemented nationwide on July 1, 2010, required a 50% to 60% reduction compared to National 3. 5. National 5 standard, implemented nationwide on January 1, 2018, required a 25% reduction in nitrogen oxide emissions compared to National 4. 6. National 6 standard, with National 6a implemented nationwide on July 1, 2020, and National 6b implemented nationwide on July 1, 2023.

Can expired engine oil be used?

Expired engine oil cannot be used. Here is more information about engine oil: 1. Engine oil absorbs moisture, undergoes chemical and physical changes, reducing its lubrication, cooling, sealing, and anti-corrosion effects. Additionally, deteriorated engine oil can produce impurities that clog oil passages. 2. Engine oil serves to lubricate and reduce friction in the engine, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption. 3. Engine oil consists of two parts: base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its basic properties, while additives compensate for and improve any deficiencies in the base oil's performance, imparting new characteristics, making them an essential part of lubricating oil.

How to Quickly Remove Ice from Car Windows?

Here are some methods to quickly remove ice from car windows: 1. Use warm air to defrost the ice. Simply blowing warm air for a while will melt the ice on the glass. 2. Use a glass ice scraper or a hard plastic scraper. A glass ice scraper is more convenient and faster, and it doesn’t freeze your hands. When there is snow or ice on the glass, use a plastic scraper or glass ice scraper to remove it. However, be careful not to scratch the glass while removing the ice and snow. Do not scrape back and forth; instead, push in the same direction. 3. There is a type of spray de-icer available on the market. It is a high-speed anti-ice spray concentrate specifically designed to defrost frozen car windows and windshield wipers. It does not damage the car’s surface and can prevent ice from forming again.

How to Use the Mercedes-Benz Wiper?

Mercedes-Benz's wiper is controlled by the lever on the left side of the steering wheel, and the usage method is the same as that of cars where the wiper is controlled by the lever on the right side. To make the nozzle spray water, you need to press the button at the top of the lever. Many models under Mercedes-Benz adopt the column shifter design. Many American cars prefer to use the column shifter design, where the gear shift lever is located on the right side of the steering wheel. Below are the daily maintenance methods for the wiper: 1. When using the wiper to remove dust from the windshield on a sunny day, be sure to spray glass water and avoid dry wiping. 2. If there are other stubborn and hard contaminants on the glass, they should be cleaned manually. 3. When lifting the wiper blade during car washing or daily cleaning, gently return it when putting it back. 4. In winter, use an ice scraper to remove ice debris from the windshield surface before using the wiper to avoid increasing the burden on the wiper.

What Role Does Engine Oil Play in an Engine?

Here are the specific functions of engine oil in an engine: 1. Reduce Wear: The engine is composed of many precision components. Engine oil forms an oil film on these sliding surfaces, separating the relatively sliding parts and reducing wear. 2. Maintain Cleanliness: Good engine oil can carry carbon deposits, sludge, and worn metal particles from engine components back to the oil tank through circulation, flushing away dirt generated on the working surfaces of the parts via the flow of the lubricating oil. 3. Cooling: Engine oil can carry heat back to the oil tank and then dissipate it into the air, helping the radiator cool the engine. 4. Shock Absorption: When the pressure at the engine cylinder port rises sharply, suddenly increasing the load on the piston, piston pin, connecting rod, and crankshaft bearings, this load is transmitted and lubricated through the bearings, cushioning the impact load. 5. Sealing and Leak Prevention: Engine oil forms a sealing ring between the piston rings and the piston, reducing gas leakage and preventing external contaminants from entering. 6. Rust and Corrosion Prevention: Lubricating oil can adhere to the surfaces of parts, preventing contact with water, air, acidic substances, and harmful gases.
