Thanks to some lessons learned from the EQXX concept, Mercedes says that its CLA will go more than 5 miles per kWh of battery capacity. Total range achievable on a single charge of an electric car's battery makes headlines,

Mercedes-Benz intends to become a fully electric automaker someday, and the next CLA will bring that objective a little closer. To be available as both an EV and a hybrid, the next CLA will be built atop the Mercedes Modular Architecture (MMA),

Mercedes-Benz has provided early details of the powertrains that will be offered for the third-generation CLA, which is set to be the first model to be built on the Mercedes-Benz Modular Architecture (MMA).

Class lays the groundwork for the automaker’s future, while a hybrid provides a stepping stone for wary customers.

Mercedes-Benz has announced a significant decision regarding its upcoming CLA electric vehicle (EV), opting to equip it with both Tesla’s North American Charging Standard (NACS) and the Combined Charging System (CCS) plugs. This move is a strategic response to the evolving landscape of EV charging infrastructure and consumer preferences.

Single-motor rear-wheel-drive CLAs will feature a 200-kw permanently synchronous motor (PSM) in the rear with 268 hp. All-wheel drive 4Matic models will add an 80-kw motor motor to the front axle and be engaged during acceleration or when slip is detected. Both motors feature silicon carbide inverters.

Mercedes-Benz already has numerous electric cars on the market, but neither the converted combustion engines nor the models based on a purely electric architecture have been a success. With the upcoming CLA,

While in Germany at Mercedes’ Sindelfingen factory, InsideEVs learned that it will actually come with both NACS and CCS charging ports—a very unique proposition. If that’s not unusual enough, the two charging ports will be located on the right side of the car, stacked one on top of the other under the same charging port door.

Next-gen Mercedes-Benz CLA will be underpinned by the German luxury car giant's MMA platform and newly developed engine.

The subcompact luxury sedan will come in internal-combustion and electric versions with technical upgrades to enhance efficiency, and we've got all the details.
