With the debut of the all-new 2026 Mercedes-Benz CLA, Mercedes-Benz sets a bold tone for the future of electric driving—blending style, intelligence, and groundbreaking range. Mercedes-Benz of Los Angeles previews some of this vehicle’s best features and capabilities.

Exceptional Range, Quick Charging

The 2026 Mercedes-Benz CLA 250+ with EQ Technology delivers a remarkable maximum range of up to 792 kilometers (approximately 500 miles)* according to the WLTP cycle, placing it at the front of its class for long-distance electric mobility. That number is achieved thanks to next-generation EV engineering. Underpinning this efficiency is an 800-volt electric architecture, a newly developed 85-kWh battery with high energy density, and a two-speed transmission that smartly balances city agility with highway composure. The Mercedes-Benz CLA can recover up to 325 kilometers (over 200 miles) of range in just ten minutes of DC fast charging—perfect for spontaneous getaways or daily errands.

Smarter Than Ever: MB.OS® and MBUX®

Inside, the Mercedes-Benz CLA continues to impress. It’s the company’s first vehicle running on the new MB.OS®, an in-house operating system that powers the next-generation MBUX® infotainment system. With AI integration from Google and Microsoft and full support for over-the-air updates, it offers a new level of personalization and enables further evolution with changing times and technologies.

The optional MBUX® Superscreen™, running real-time graphics powered by the Unity Game Engine®, wraps across the dash for a seamless high-tech aesthetic. And with features like intelligent navigation via Google Maps™, proactive driver assistance, and a virtual assistant that can engage in natural conversation, the 2026 Mercedes-Benz CLA becomes your trusted travel companion.

Design That Moves You

Outside, the Mercedes-Benz CLA embodies iconic design. With a radiant illuminated star panel, star-shaped lighting, and a fastback silhouette, it captures attention with every mile. And inside, the minimalist, high-luxury cabin features recycled materials and an airy ambiance, thanks to a standard panoramic glass roof.
