Cla 220
I’m the new owner of a premium plus 220 CLA, however there seems to be a few features missing in this U.K. model which I’ve seen in several reviews and also in the handbook.

-The Heads Up Display is mentioned numerous times in the manual, yet doesn’t seem to feature in my mode? Is there any reason why the U.K. model omits a HUD?

-There’s seems to be less camera views when reversing, e.g views from the side and view from overhead

- There’s is no seat cooling option

-There is no automatic light that comes on overhead when you stretch across the other side of the cabin

-The LEDs seem a lot less brighter than in several video reviews?

Can anyone explain why these aren’t present in the U.K. model of the CLA, or is it just my version specifically?
 
The handbook has information on all available options, whether they’re fitted to your particular car or not.

Everything you list is not part of the UK-spec Premium Plus package, so that’s why your car doesn’t have those features.
 
Handbooks usually state very clearly that not all options listed and described are fitted to all vehicles and that specification is dependent on the country where the vehicle was purchased.
 
And to add to that HUD is usually a separate option that isn't bundled with other options. As is 360 degree view camera.

Presumably you agreed or checked the specification before ordering / purchasing?

Currently we only take HUD on AMG models. This was mainly down to problems with availability previously.

All NGCC cars (A, B, CLA, GLA) get a reversing camera in uk spec, but again were not taking 360 in the uk

Cooling seats, same thing. Gesture control, there’s currently supply issues for another year, so it’s been taken off all models.

There is a huge model simplification strategy going on at MBUK, which is for several reasons. Firstly we most commonly buy cars on PCP/CH in the uk and fixed specs are much easier to work out residuals for.

Secondly it helps with production times and clearly pricing forMBUK and they’re bulk buying option packs.

It is frustrating, as you can clearly see on the German site that a lot more is available in other markets, but it currently makes a lot more sense for them to be simplified in the UK.

A huge positive that people certainly overlook is cost. Go onto Mercedes.de and look at the cost of each individual option on their configurator. They’re a huge amount more expensive in Germany once you add each option separately

A lot more sense for MB, but as you say frustrating for their customers.
