The 2025 Mercedes-Benz CLA is slated to be able to return 5.2 miles per kWh – among the highest efficiency levels of any EV currently on sale.

Mercedes has dropped more details of the powertrains that feature in next year’s 2026 CLA sedan and its SUV offshoots due later. EV models get single- and dual-motor options with up to 375 hp, 800-volt charging tech and an expected 466-mile range.
