The Mercedes CLA offers great EV specs for an average price

Mercedes-Benz unveiled the 2026–2027 CLA electric sedan, bringing long-range EV tech to a more affordable compact luxury segment.

The CLA250 Plus offers rear-wheel drive, 268 horsepower, an 85 kWh battery, and an EPA-estimated 374 miles of range.

The CLA350 4Matic adds dual motors, 349 horsepower, and quicker acceleration, with slightly less range.

Both trims use 800V architecture and can charge from 10% to 80% in about 22 minutes.

The cabin also gets more space, updated MB.OS software, the MBUX interface, and optional tech-focused packages.
