With demand still strong and supply still tight months later, Mercedes-Benz is pumping up production capacity at its Vance, Ala. MBUSI facility to bring more CLAs to the showroom.
Automotive News reports 14,113 of the $30,825 entry-level premium sedan were sold in the United States during the last four months of 2013, with the most sold overall in October at 4,895 units. Additionally, 15,676 CLAs left the showroom floor from January through August of this year.
On the other side of the globe, the facility in Kecskement, Hungary that produces the CLA added a third shift in May to help meet demand the world over, having made a total of 109,266 in 2013 alone. The plant will also host production of a CLA shooting brake, a vehicle Mercedes has "no current plans" to bring over to the U.S., according to a representative.
As for how many CLAs will be leaving Vance, Daimler AG CEO Dieter Zetsche didn't specify, though he did expect "a positive reaction" to the boost in production.
