Our friends down at Mercedes-Benz have released this video to explain to us laymen why the CLA is so aerodynamic. There are plenty of reasons, but here are a few: variable cooling air management, a low A-column, aerodynamic shape, serrated wheel spoiler, and aero-alloy wheels.

Great video for those who want to learn more about the CLA before making a buy decision.

all of this just translates to less rolling resistance, quieter ride, and better gas mileage.

Less drag = better mileage

The CLA will be one of the slickest on the road when it comes out.

it sure does especially when on the highway, best way to make use of the reduced drag.
from what i've seen driving habits go a long way to save fuel, more than reduced drag would.

I believe it, I can even feel the drag sometimes with the windows down and would even cause turbulence in the cabin. They really take in to account of how the car glides in the wind, something other manufacturers are not putting their focus on.

I'm glad that MB puts this much thought into its cars. I have heard that noise insulation is not so good in the cabin though, so I am not sure about the aerodynamics being that good for a quiet cabin. It has a big impact on fuel efficiency though, and that is a big enough plus for me.

its actually been proven that you can save more gas on long summer drives by having your windows rolled up and AC on rather than the other way around.

understanding drag can go a long way!

It makes sense since it will be gliding through the wind as you travel in to higher speeds like a bullet. I can never go in to the summer without AC.
