Innovation Electrified: Exploring the All-New Electric CLA-Class Tech Features

Electric CLA-Class Tech Features 

Here at Mercedes-Benz of Scottsdale, we eagerly await the arrival of a vehicle poised to redefine the compact luxury segment: the all-new electric CLA-Class. This innovative, all-electric sedan represents not just a step, but a significant leap forward in automotive technology. Designed from the ground up for the electric age, the CLA promises a compelling blend of performance, efficiency, and, notably, a suite of advanced electric CLA-Class tech features that will captivate even the most discerning drivers. 



A Digital Dashboard for the Modern Age 

At the heart of the electric CLA-Class experience lies the completely new Mercedes-Benz Operating System (MB.OS), which underpins the fourth-generation MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience). This sophisticated multimedia system incorporates voice control and leverages the power of artificial intelligence to create an intuitive and personalized driving environment. Furthermore, for those seeking an even more immersive digital landscape, an optional MBUX Superscreen will be available, transforming the dashboard into a stunning visual display. Complementing this visual feast is the available Burmester® 3D Surround Sound System, complete with optional Dolby Atmos®, promising an auditory experience as captivating as the visuals.

The new electric CLA-Class technology extends beyond infotainment to encompass a comprehensive suite of intelligent driver assistance systems, now collectively known as MB.DRIVE. These systems are designed to provide an extra layer of confidence and convenience on every journey. Indeed, an extensive array of available features falls under the MB.DRIVE umbrella, including MB.DRIVE ASSIST, MB.DRIVE ASSIST PLUS, MB.DRIVE PARKING ASSIST, and MB.DRIVE PARKING ASSIST 360.

Performance Redefined for the Electric Era 

The impressive electric CLA-Class tech features are matched by its potent electric powertrain. This Mercedes-Benz CLA EV boasts an advanced 800-volt electric architecture, a design philosophy directly inspired by the groundbreaking VISION EQXX concept vehicle. This architecture allows for impressive DC fast charging capabilities of up to 320 kW and supports an 85 kWh lithium-ion battery. Consequently, both the rear-wheel drive CLA 250+ and the 4MATIC® all-wheel drive CLA 350 will offer exhilarating performance. 

Key performance highlights include: 

  • A potent permanently excited synchronous motor on the rear axle (CLA 250+) and an additional front motor/EDU (CLA 350 4MATIC®). 
  • The CLA 250+ generates 268 hp and 247 lb-ft of torque, achieving 0-60 mph in 6.6 seconds. 
  • The CLA 350 4MATIC® delivers 349 hp and 380 lb-ft of torque, accelerating from 0-60 mph in a brisk 4.8 seconds. 
  • An advanced electric drive unit featuring a high-efficiency two-speed transmission. 

Moreover, preliminary estimates suggest impressive driving ranges of 694–792 km (250+) and 672–771 km (350 4MATIC®) based on the WLTP European cycle. Furthermore, at compatible 800-volt DC fast-charging stations, the CLA has the potential to add approximately 201 miles of range for the 250+ and 195 miles for the 350 4MATIC® in just ten minutes. For convenient charging at home, the Mercedes-Benz Wallbox is an ideal solution. Additionally, the CLA-Class EV breaks new ground as the first Mercedes-Benz in nearly a century to offer a practical “frunk,” providing extra cargo space for smaller items.
