The sports versions of the Mercedes A-Class, CLA and GLA come with an AMG body kit, a Mercedes sports edition badge, carbon fiber mirror covers, a black hub and valve cap as well as a stainless steel sports pedal. Apart from a renewed look on the outside along with a few minor added features, the new sports editions of the A-Class, CLA and GLA do not come with any variations under their hood.
