Mercedes-Benz is set to raise the bar for luxury electric sedans with the 2026 CLA Electric. Built on the brand’s new MMA platform, this next-generation model combines long-range capability, ultra-fast charging, and premium comfort, making it one of the most exciting EVs in its class.
One of the CLA Electric’s standout features is its impressive driving range. Thanks to an ~85 kWh battery, it is expected to cover up to 750+ km (WLTP) on a single charge—perfect for long-distance travel. Charging is equally impressive: the 800-volt system supports 320 kW DC fast charging, adding around 325 km of range in just 10 minutes. This makes the CLA Electric highly practical for daily use and highway trips alike.
The 2026 CLA Electric will offer two variants. The 250+ rear-wheel-drive (RWD) focuses on smooth, efficient performance, while the 350 4MATIC all-wheel-drive (AWD) adds sportier handling and better traction. Both deliver the refined driving dynamics Mercedes-Benz is known for, now with the added benefits of electric power.
Inside, the cabin promises the luxury and tech Mercedes buyers expect. While final interior details are yet to be revealed, it will likely feature digital displays, advanced infotainment, and driver-assistance systems, offering comfort, convenience, and safety for both drivers and passengers.
The 2026 Mercedes CLA Electric is slated for a late-2026 launch, targeting buyers who want a stylish, high-tech electric sedan without compromising on luxury. With its fast charging, long range, and premium design, the next-gen CLA Electric positions itself as a standout choice in the growing luxury EV market.
Mercedes-Benz is clearly showing that the future of luxury sedans is electric, and the CLA Electric is shaping up to be a perfect blend of performance, technology, and elegance.
