The upcoming facelift will be a minor one that will retain the already good design of the existing model, but both the front and rear bumper gets a chrome or black stripe. We can expect some other changes also because the US-Spec CLA facelift sports a new exterior colour and alloy wheels that are said to be lighter that the current ones .

The new CLA also features new LED headlights, Active Brake Assist, and rear parking camera. However, we will have to wait a few more days to see if these features come as standard on Indian-spec CLA also.
