Introducing the Mercedes-Benz CLA Electric
Making its worldwide debut, the Mercedes-Benz CLA Electric delivers cutting-edge luxury and athletic performance in a compact package. With accessible pricing for a car of this nature, it is a standout contender in the Coupé/Shooting Brake segments, and is one of the most intelligent vehicles Mercedes-Benz has ever produced.
While range anxiety is common among first-time and repeat EV buyers, the CLA Electric fosters peace of mind with an exceptional maximum range complementing its breathtaking design. Furthermore, an expansive selection of advanced technologies deliver an ever-connected driving experience that keeps you comfortable, entertained, and forever in-love.

Design and Practicality
The Mercedes-Benz CLA Electric does not force you to choose between comfort, performance, and distinctiveness. Instead, you receive all of the above, with features like new sport seats offering a multi-faceted design. Sport seats boast adjustable head restraints making automatic adjustments via kinetic movement, resulting in greater comfort and safety, while uninterrupted layers combine the seat surface with side bolsters, establishing design congruence.
The CLA Electric's two-tiered centre console also features new trim, with wood, aluminium, or natural fibre finishes available. A standard panoramic roof enriches these features by supplying the interior with a more open, comfortable feel.
On the exterior, the fully illuminated front design makes a striking first impression with its dynamic lighting sequences during locking and unlocking. Drivers prioritising sporty curb appeal can find what they are looking for with raised hood sections (power domes), aggressive shark-nose front, and frameless doors, but there is more.
Mercedes-Benz does not bookend the CLA Electric's rear with any old LED tailights. Instead, star-shaped LED rear lights, connected by a full-width light bar, make a style statement instead of blending in.
Technology and Safety
You will be greeted by a large 14-inch central touchscreen and convenient 10.3-inch digital instrument cluster when you step inside the CLA Electric, both of which seamlessly integrate navigation that is newly based on Google Maps data. Tech-oriented drivers can opt for an available 14-inch touchscreen, which, along with the other two displays, forms the MBUX Superscreen, simplifying use with larger icons, facial recognition, and more.
The enhanced Mercedes-Benz operating system gives drivers the chance to activate additional driving assistance systems too, even retrospectively. Later discovered you want a feature that you did not specify as part of your factory build? You are able to purchase and activate certain technologies remotely, without ever visiting a retailer. These packages include semi-autonomous features, such as MB.DRIVE PARKING ASSIST, which searches for spots and automatically parks.
Mercedes-Benz does not stop here when optimising the CLA Electric's safety and convenience either. MB.DRIVE ASSIST provides automatic steering and lane-change capabilities, and optional multibeam headlights with three-pointed-star daytime running lights enhance visibility at night and day, respectively.
Engines and Performance
Mercedes-Benz turns range anxiety into driving confidence with the CLA Electric’s 484-mile maximum range. Exterior features such as flush-mounted door handles and an optimised rear diffuser enhance aerodynamics, helping form the extensive range. Additionally, its 276bhp output strikes an ideal balance between spirited and comfortable daily driving.
If you remain concerned about getting caught off-guard with a low charge, rest assured knowing that Mercedes-Benz’s permanent active range monitoring provides helpful display alerts, allowing you to reach your destination with a pre-selected charge level.
Charging
The CLA Electric's lightning-fast charging fills in the blanks of electric driving. Mercedes-Benz has equipped the CLA BEV with 800-volt charging architecture accommodating today’s quickest and most-efficient chargers.
Using an ultrafast public 320kW charger, you are able to recharge the car's battery from 10 to 80 percent in as little as 22 minutes, while home charging using a dedicated wallbox sees a complete recharge take seven hours, allowing you to start each day as fresh as the preceding one.
