I don't believe that KIA/ Hyundai / Genesis reports complete drag coefficients.
There brochures report identical Cds across all optional equipment, which wouldn't occur in the real world.
And different tunnels produce different numbers.
I'd relegate the 'Drag Queen' values to some special case They're not cross-wind averaged, as would be the case for the maker's coefficients.
I suspect that we'll never obtain all the data we'd like for the CLA.
We 'fully' discussed the CLA here at the AERO Forum nine years ago.

CLA has 0.22(180 BE) and 0.23(180), CLS C218 has 0.26, but CLS has wide tires, no flat bottom etc.
If we compare just body shape ,do you think CLS has better Cd from CLA, for example if we put narrow tires, flat bottom etc maybe CLS will have even better Cd then CLA?
I ask this because CLA is short, rear roofline looks to stubby, rear window+trunk slope is too steep,this can cause flow separation or too steep slope induce low pressure at rear window+trunk.
CLS is longer, more streamlined siluetthe,rear end slope is not so steep.
