The first of two pure-electric Mercedes CLA models, the CLA200 electric kicks off at $72,200, before on-road costs.
Standard equipment includes heated power front seats, synthetic leather trim, a fixed panoramic glass roof, ambient lighting, ‘high performance’ LED headlights, keyless entry and start, park assist, 18-inch alloys and metallic paint. And the AI-powered assistant integrates ChatGPT, Google Gemini and Bing technologies.
Above that, the CLA200 electric’s spec is largely the same as its hybrid counterpart, which means AMG Line elements including different (still 18-inch rims), sports seats, synthetic leather and synthetic suede trim, a multi-function sports steering wheel, carbon-grain aluminium trim pieces, AMG body styling and what Merc refers to as ‘a sporty engine sound’ driven through the audio system.
In an impressive feat of aero fine-tuning Mercedes-Benz design and engineering teams have managed to make an already slippery car even more efficient with this new CLA dropping the car’s drag-coefficient from 0.23 to an amazing 0.21.
The sloping, coupe-style profile remains as a CLA signature, complete with frameless doors, flush door handles and aero wheels. And for Latin buffs the interior treatment is minimus extremus with screens dominating the front part of the stripped back cabin.
The CLA200 electric is powered by an in-house developed permanently excited synchronous motor driving the rear wheels through a two-speed transmission. Outputs are 165kW/335Nm.
Official combined cycle energy use for the CLA200 electric is 14.4kWh/100km with a range of 470km.
The new CLA hasn’t been assessed by ANCAP although its sister organisation, Euro NCAP, awarded it a maximum five-star rating in 2025 with mega high scores across the board for occupant and pedestrian protection as well as driver assist systems.
The CLA is covered by Mercedes-Benz Australia’s five-year/unlimited km warranty with roadside assistance included. On top of that, there’s an eight-year/160,000km warranty on the drive battery in electric models. Hybrid and electric variants have the same 12 month, 25,000km recommended service interval.
