After replacing the heavy plastic body armor with camo skin earlier this year, prototypes of the second generation Mercedes-Benz CLA have now adopted different lighting units at the front.

Expected to be used by higher spec models of the compact four-door coupe, the projector headlights have an integrated LED strip that serves as a DRL function.

Elsewhere, the car sports and updated design all around while keeping its signature sloping roofline that will differentiate it from the first-ever Mercedes-Benz A-Class Sedan.

Fewer changes are expected inside, as the two cars will likely share the dual-screen layout that will take center stage even in the entry-level versions, ambient lighting available in a variety of colors, revised trim and higher quality plastics all around.

Underpinned by the same architecture as the new A-Class hatchback and Sedan, which is the starting point for the next B-Class, GLA and GLB too, the 2019 Mercedes-Benz CLA will be offered with an assortment of gasoline and, at least outside North America, with diesel engines as well.

Thrill seekers will have to look at the AMG CLA 35 that will use the same powertrain as the AMG A35, while the AMG 45 variant will live on, too, with over 400PS (394hp / 295kW) produced by a new turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine.

In addition to the second-gen CLA, the spy video shows the all-new B-Class, too. The third generation of the compact MPV will arrive to take on the BMW 2-Series Active and Grand Tourer with almost identical equipment levels as its new compact siblings and most of their engines, sans for the AMG derivatives.
