These past few days have been pretty busy for our spy photographers. Just yesterday, they were able to catch two of Jaguar's up and coming models, and today they're bringing us images of the upcoming Mercedes CLA in light camouflage doing some testing around the Nurburgring.

The future Mercedes CLA, also known as the CLC->ke2725 until recently, can be easily described as a baby CLS->ke539. The model will be built on the new A-Class->ke452 platform - hence the name - and will be offered with the same engine line-up as the A-Class, but with the luxury level offered in the CLS. It will be offered in front-wheel-drive configuration as standard and with both petrol and diesel engines. While Mercedes->ke187 has confirmed anything just yet, we expect to see a line-up including both the 1.6 and 2.0 liter petrol engines with power going up to 211 HP. The diesel line-up's top version will be the 170 HP A 220 CDI. An AMG version will also be offered and rumors say it will get a 335 HP turbocharged 2.0-liter unit.

The new Mercedes CLA will make its official debut in 2013.
