Mercedes-Benz CLA
$45,000-$55,000
Can You Write Off Mercedes-Benz CLA?
Short answer: Partly: the CLA is a compact luxury car under the car caps.
Under 6,000 lbs GVWR it's a passenger car, so first-year depreciation is capped at roughly $20,000 with bonus depreciation for 2026, and only the business-use share counts; the 72.5¢ mileage rate is the simpler option.
Records to keep: Keep the purchase contract, the door-jamb GVWR sticker photo, and a mileage log showing business vs personal miles.
