In fact, it can gain up to 201 miles of range in just 10 minutes using compatible 800-volt DC fast chargers. Additionally, every CLA comes equipped with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caranddriver.com\/shopping-advice\/a60788759\/tested-best-nacs-to-ccs-adapters\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CCS-to-NACS adapter<\/a> for even more public charging flexibility.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its design reflects a careful balance of performance and practicality. The CLA is the first Mercedes-Benz in nearly a century to feature a front trunk (\u201cfrunk\u201d), offering extra space for small items.
