Mercedes-Benz CLA sedan will come as both an EV and a hybrid, and feature over-the-air updates and AI-based infotainment.

Initially, Mercedes-Benz will offer the 268-horsepower CLA 250+ with rear-wheel drive and the performance-oriented 349-horsepower CLA 350 4MATIC with all-wheel drive. That’s far more potent than the 221-horsepower four-cylinder mild hybrid driveline offered for 2025.

Mercedes-Benz CLA EV and hybrid models, featuring impressive efficiency, range, and cutting-edge technology, launching in India by 2025.

The new Mercedes-Benz CLA began its journey to the showrooms as the Concept CLA Class unveiled at IAA Mobility 2023 in Munich. Unlike many conceptual forays, Mercedes claimed the Concept CLA was pretty representative of the car it previewed, and so it has come to pass.

The new CLA also marks a change in strategy for Mercedes. Rather than have different line-ups for electric cars – badged EQ – the CLA is available as an EV with two versions and a full hybrid with a 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine and small battery. In a further twist, Mercedes has said that both petrol and EV models should be priced similarly.

It's been a long time coming, but Mercedes-Benz has fully unveiled the all-new 2026 CLA, and it was worth the wait. We've known for some time now that the model was going electric, as Mercedes as a whole is planning on going fully electric eventually,

Mercedes-Benz did something a little unusual with the CLA, and now it has something in common with the Porsche Taycan.
