About The 2026 Mercedes-Benz CLA Lease

The 2026 Mercedes-Benz CLA is advertised at $479 a month for 24 months on the CLA 250 trim (MSRP $44,100), with $4,453 due at signing and 10,000 miles a year. The CLA starts at $42,750 MSRP with a dealer invoice of about $42,750 for the CLA 250. It's offered in 6 trims: CLA 250 ($42,750), CLA 250 4MATIC ($44,750), CLA 250+ w/ EQ Technology ($47,250), CLA 350 4MATIC w/ EQ Technology ($49,800), AMG CLA 35 ($56,600), AMG CLA 45 S ($67,550). Advertised lease payments assume a selling price near MSRP, so negotiating the price toward invoice lowers your payment. Closing the full $0 gap would cut about $0 a month.

Lease Terms To Check Before You Sign

  • 10,000 miles per year

    Extra miles cost $0.25 each at turn-in. If you drive more, ask for a higher-mileage version now; it is cheaper than paying overage later.

  • $4,453 due at signing

    A $0-down version would raise the payment by about $173/mo, and keeps your cash safe if the vehicle is totaled early.

  • Regional pricing

    Lease programs vary by region. Other areas often have a different payment, so confirm with a dealer near your ZIP.

  1. 1Advertised lease payment. Manufacturer-advertised closed-end lease for the 2026 Mercedes-Benz CLA CLA 250 (MSRP $44,100), offered through participating dealers on approved credit; not all customers qualify. $4,453 total due at signing. 24 monthly payments of $479 (first due at signing) total $11,496. No security deposit. 10,000 mi/yr; $0.25/mi over. Excludes taxes, title, license, registration, and dealer fees. Offer expires November 2, 2026. Payment and terms are set by the manufacturer and participating dealers. AutoFinder is not a lessor, does not set pricing, and is not a party to any lease. Sourced from mbusa.com on October 12, 2026.
  2. 2Effective monthly cost. AutoFinder calculation: $4,453 due at signing plus the remaining 23 payments of $479 ($15,470 total), divided by 24 months. Excludes taxes, title, registration, and any excess mileage or wear charges. For comparison only.
  3. 3MSRP and invoice price. MSRP is the manufacturer's suggested retail price for the trim shown and may exclude destination charges, options, and dealer-installed accessories. Invoice prices are estimates of dealer cost from AutoFinder's vehicle data provider and do not reflect holdbacks, incentives, or regional pricing. Potential savings is MSRP minus estimated invoice. Dealers set the actual selling price.
  4. 4Estimated lease payment by trim. AutoFinder estimate made by scaling the advertised CLA 250 payment by each trim's starting MSRP. This is not an offer from any manufacturer, lender, or dealer. Actual payments depend on residual value, money factor, incentives, credit approval, and dealer pricing, and exclude taxes and fees.
  5. 5Finance payment estimate. AutoFinder calculated $785 per month by financing $39,647 (the advertised MSRP less $4,453 down) over 60 months at 7% APR with $0 applied for a trade-in. These are AutoFinder's assumptions. This is not an offer of credit, not a quote from any lender, and not based on your credit history; your actual rate, term, and payment will differ. Excludes taxes, title, license, registration, and dealer fees.
  6. 6Typical lease and deal rating. Median ($567/mo) and range ($370–$685/mo) of estimated lease payments across CLA listings AutoFinder tracks. The deal rating compares the advertised payment to that median and is for comparison only.
