The CLA Electric features a sleek, coupe-like silhouette with aerodynamic lines that not only enhance its visual appeal but also contribute to efficiency. The front fascia showcases a distinctive closed grille with an illuminated star pattern and slim LED headlamps with integrated DRLs, giving the EV a futuristic presence on the road.
Inside, the cabin blends luxury with tech-forward design. A wide digital display spans the dashboard, combining the infotainment and driver’s instrument cluster. The CLA Electric also offers features such as a 14-inch touchscreen infotainment system powered by Mercedes’ MB.OS, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and a panoramic glass roof that adds an airy ambiance to the interior.
For comfort and convenience, the CLA Electric comes with ventilated and massaging front seats, wireless phone charging, and AR-based navigation. On the safety front, the sedan is equipped with Level 2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System), a 360-degree camera, electronic stability control, hill hold assist, and parking sensors. Notably, the model has earned a five-star Euro NCAP safety rating, highlighting its strong crash protection credentials.
Under the hood, the CLA Electric 250+ is powered by a single 85.5 kWh battery pack paired with a rear-mounted electric motor producing around 272 PS and 335 Nm of torque. The EV accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in approximately 6.7 seconds.
What truly sets this EV apart is its claimed driving range of up to 792 km (WLTP), which is one of the highest in its segment and significantly higher than many rivals. This range figure underscores Mercedes-Benz’s focus on energy efficiency and real-world usability.
How Long Do Electric Car Batteries Last
The CLA Electric also uses an 800-volt electrical architecture, supporting fast DC charging. According to Mercedes-Benz, the system can add a substantial amount of range in a short time, making long-distance travel more convenient.

Once launched, the CLA Electric will compete with EVs like the BYD Seal and Kia EV6 in the premium electric sedan space.
