This new model is the first of an all-new family of cars, heralding a new chapter for the entry segment at Mercedes-Benz. The CLA is designed to set new standards in range, efficiency, and charging speed, offering customers a choice between an advanced electric drivetrain and a high-tech electrified combustion engine. While the car is still a camouflaged prototype, Ola Källenius will reveal the headlight design in the video:
With the CLA, we are ushering in a new era at Mercedes Benz. We will substantially elevate every
aspect of what our customers can expect from a Mercedes in this segment. The modular platform
allows for maximum flexibility: We can offer the CLA in both a state-of-the-art electric drivetrain
version and a hybrid electrified combustion engine version. And our operating system, MB.OS,
will make it into the most intelligent car we’ve ever built.
Ola Källenius
Chairman of the Board of Management of Mercedes-Benz Group AG
The electric version of the CLA incorporates technology from the EQXX concept into series production. The next-generation electric drivetrain unit was developed by Mercedes Benz, ensuring high performance and efficiency. Thanks to a two-speed transmission, sporty performance and efficiency are in perfect balance.
The CLA will also be available with a newly-developed high-tech hybrid combustion engine. This engine, part of the MMA vehicle family, utilizes 48V technology combined with a new electrified transmission to deliver a highly efficient and enjoyable driving experience.
The 2025 CLA will be the first vehicle to feature the new Mercedes Benz Operating System (MB.OS), which includes the AI-powered MBUX Virtual Assistant. This system enhances the car-driver relationship with natural, intuitive interaction and proactive support.
