    The CLA would not compete with the i3. The i3 would compare to an electric C class. The regular CLA competes with the 2 Gran Coupe.

      That’s true, but electric drivetrains could mix up things a bit. It appears the single motor CLA has rear wheel drive, something that in combustion cars draw a pretty clear line between lower and upper middle middle class. But dimensions, wheel sizes, suspensions and so forth will probably still make all the difference.
