Mercedes-Benz CLA 2025 – New technology galore
The upcoming CLA is planned at Mercedes-Benz as a replacement for the A- and B-Classes, which are being phased out. This makes the Mercedes CLA 2025 the new entry point. On the other hand, the planned scope of the CLA is virtually bursting with new technologies and design gimmicks. As the first new vehicle on Mercedes' MMA platform, the CLA is intended to set the course for the future.
This means that Mercedes is already offering an electric car with 800V technology at the beginning, which also fits a combustion engine. Equipped with the latest standard, the CLA is said to have a range of up to 750 km with an 85 kWh battery and can charge with up to 320 kW of power for short charging stops along the way.
Those who prefer a combustion engine will then get a 48V hybrid with four cylinders, one and a half liters of displacement and eight-speed automatic transmission in the new CLA. There will be no plug-in hybrid. However, the combustion version is to be launched a year later, not until 2026.
Apart from the engines and efficiency gains in the CLA, there are also numerous innovations in Mercedes' new entry-level model. Not only the eye-catching light signature in Mercedes star look, but also the infotainment is a premiere. The CLA will be the first model to feature Mercedes' new operating system and is intended to improve operation and offers, among other things, an AI-supported assistant.
The CLA is the first model in a whole new family of vehicles. GLA, GLB and also a station wagon with the CLA Shooting Break are to follow.
In any case, we are looking forward to further details and the complete design of the CLA when it is unveiled in spring 2025.
