Which Mercedes CLA versions have a manual gearbox?

In both generations the six-speed manual appears on the entry-level versions, mainly the petrol CLA 180 and 200 and some 180 d and 200 d diesels. The more powerful versions came only as automatics.

Is a manual Mercedes CLA more reliable than the automatic?

It avoids the 7G-DCT's judder complaints and that gearbox's oil changes. On the other hand the clutch and, on diesels, the dual-mass flywheel wear out: a rattle at idle or a slipping clutch needs attention.

Is there a manual Mercedes CLA with all-wheel drive or a hybrid?

No, every manual CLA is front-wheel drive with a combustion engine. 4MATIC, the AMG models and the CLA 250 e hybrid exist only with an automatic.
