The Mercedes-Benz CLA is the first of the company’s new electric line-up. It’s based on a brand-new electric platform, the Mercedes Modular Architecture (MMA), and yet it now follows the existing combustion car model names rather than the EQ prefix.
The CLA is a four-door coupé that sits in the A-class bracket, the entry-level of the Mercedes lineup, which also includes the standard A-class hatchback and the GLA compact SUV. While this is not the first A-class to be electrified – there is still an EQA SUV model – this saloon model marks a distinct change from the premium focus of its electric models.
