Whether your grad just finished high school or college, a new Mercedes-Benz model can help them tackle the road ahead. A new vehicle offers a great way to explore the world, cultivate responsibility, commute to work, and more.

Here's what we recommend for your new grads:

2018 Mercedes-Benz CLA Coupe  

The 2018 CLA Coupe is perfect for young drivers due to its manageable size; safety features; suite of technologies; and sleek, luxurious vibe. Your graduate will enjoy a driving experience like no other. This four-door "coupe" is more stylish than a traditional sedan but offers versatility that regular coupes can only dream of (including a usable back seat). The CLA is a car for those who believe luxury shouldn’t mean excess.

The 2018 CLA Coupe houses a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine which produces 208 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. It's mated to a seven-speed dual clutch automated transmission, making the CLA Coupe fuel-friendly and with the exciting drive-feel of a manual but with the comfort of an automatic. Key features include an 8.0-inch display screen, dual-zone automatic climate control, adaptive braking technology, power front seats, split-folding rear seats, ambient interior lighting, Bluetooth®, and a USB interface. Technology features that your grad will appreciate include a harman/kardon® audio system, navigation, Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ compatibility, and an in-car Wi-Fi hotspot.

The 2018 CLA Coupe makes it easy for grads to have a celebratory adventure with its innovative technology, powerful performance, and luxurious presence.    

2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA

If your grad would prefer the look and handling of a larger vehicle, be sure to view the 2018 GLA (pictured at top). Stylish, powerful, and with engineering you can feel, the GLA is a great choice for grads who like to do it all. The base model uses a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, which produces 208 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. Standard front-wheel drive or optional all-wheel drive bring the performance of this luxurious SUV up to the next level.     

Apart from providing excellent performance and handling, the 2018 GLA continues its reputation as one of the most versatile and appealing vehicles around. Key safety features include anti-lock brakes, stability and traction controls, eight airbags, and adaptive braking technology (including hill-start assist, automatic brake drying, and brake hold). Technology features that are necessary on any drive include an infotainment system with an 8.0-inch display screen and rotary controller, Bluetooth®, a six-speaker audio system, and HD Radio®. 

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA has been specially designed to keep your grad (and their passengers) safe, connected, and entertained, no matter where the road may lead.
