Two Sedans with some similarities, but otherwise different in most aspects such as the model year, starting price, market segment, horsepower, fuel economy, and ground shadow size. First of all, the 2013 Ford Fusion is priced $10,150 lower compared to the base MSRP of the 2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class, which is newer by three model years. Also, the 2016 CLA-Class has a more powerful engine than the 2013 Fusion, but it gets 3 more miles on a gallon of fuel. In addition, the Fusion has a slightly larger body than the CLA-Class. Among similarities are the body structure, height, and maximum occupancy.
