When Mercedes-Benz first unveiled the CLA more than a decade ago, it offered a glimpse of its ambitions. Fast-forward to today and the three-pointed star has lifted the covers of its newest generation model. Rather fittingly it also suggests where the brand is headed to next.
The all-new Mercedes-Benz CLA isn’t just a car; it’s a glimpse into the future of intelligent, sustainable luxury. With its advanced technology, efficient performance, and stunning design, the CLA sets a new standard for what a modern luxury vehicle can be. It’s a bold step forward for Mercedes-Benz and a promise of more innovations to come.
Grand Debut
Unveiled at an exclusive world premiere in Rome, this groundbreaking model redefines the future of driving, combining cutting-edge technology, extraordinary design, and an unwavering commitment to sustainability. The all-new CLA stands as a testament to Mercedes-Benz’s leadership in innovation. Designed with groundbreaking technology and a focus on efficiency, the new CLA is the most intelligent series production car the brand has ever created.
At the heart of the CLA’s technological advancements is the proprietary AI-enhanced Mercedes-Benz Operating System (MB.OS), which integrates AI from both Microsoft and Google. This next-generation system powers the new MBUX infotainment, offering a personalised, intuitive interaction between driver and vehicle.
For those looking to embrace the electric age, the all-new CLA will also be available in an all-electric variant, featuring an innovative 800-volt electric architecture and next-gen battery technology. This new setup dramatically reduces charging times, with the CLA 250+ being able to recharge up to 325 km in just 10 minutes. The vehicle also boasts a remarkable range of up to 792 km on a full charge, making it as practical as it is high-tech.
A Sustainable Vision
Sustainability is at the core of the new CLA’s design and development. The all-electric version of the CLA boasts a lower carbon footprint by 40% compared to its non-electrified predecessor. This is possible through the use of recycled materials across the vehicle.
This commitment to sustainability also extends to CO₂-saving measures throughout the entire supply chain. This ensures the CLA has a lower environmental impact from production to use. In terms of design, the all-new model introduces a new design era for Mercedes-Benz, featuring iconic and recognisable design elements.
From the illuminated radiator grille to the star-shaped daytime running lights, the CLA exudes a sense of modern luxury. Inside, the CLA offers a refined and minimalist interior that draws inspiration from the Zen garden philosophy. Inside, the MBUX Superscreen, a floating, full-width display sits at centrestage, blending aesthetics with cutting-edge technology to deliver an intuitive and futuristic driving experience.
