Mercedes CLA (1st Generation C117 Chassis) Story...
The first-generation Mercedes CLA on the C117 chassis brought a sharper, more compact feel to the Mercedes lineup. With its coupe-inspired styling, lower driving position, and Front Wheel Drive or 4MATIC platform depending on model, the CLA quickly became a popular choice for drivers wanting something sporty that still works as a daily car. From the CLA 180 and 200 through to the performance-focused CLA 45 AMG, the platform offers plenty of potential for fast road use.
As soon as you start pushing your CLA harder, especially on twisty roads or during track sessions, the factory seats can begin to hold you back. Through corners, it is common to feel your body shifting in the seat, forcing you to brace against the steering wheel, centre console, or door card to stay in position. This movement can interrupt your driving flow and make it harder to stay consistent when driving at a pace.
Upgrading to proper bucket seats helps unlock the CLA’s full potential. With improved lateral support and a more secure seating position, you stay planted through corners and feel more connected to the car. The result is better control, improved confidence, and a more focused driving experience, whether you are enjoying spirited road driving or occasional track days.
We’ve worked closely with our customers to create our Mercedes CLA guide.
The resulting recommendations are based on previous customer car installations.
Recommended brackets:
We recommend these pieces of installation equipment so successfully install the side-mounted bucket seats and the base-mounted sports recliners we suggest in our guide. We recommend a fixed installation with no sliding runners and a fixed back bucket seat for full motorsport or regular track day use. We recommend an adjustable fitment using sliding runners on either a bucket or reclining seat for mostly road use.
