The overview
The redesigned CLA compact sedan is available in both EV and hybrid versions. The all-electric variant is available with rear- or all-wheel drive, promises a driving range close to 350 miles, and is capable of using 800-volt DC fast chargers for speedy charging. The 85-kWh battery powers two electric motors in the all-wheel-drive CLA 350 4Matic. Total system output is 349 hp. The rear-drive CLA 250+ has a 268-hp electric motor that drives the rear wheels. The hybrid version will go on sale later. Most functions, including adjusting the front-seat lumbar, are accessed through the center touchscreen, while the steering wheel controls are largely touch-capacitive 'buttons' that are annoying to use. Our testers found the interior very cramped and outward visibility challenging, especially the over-the-shoulder view. The CLA EV rides and handles well, and the all-electric powertrain is very strong.

Behind the data
Latest source update: September 11, 2026
Vehicle summaries, specifications, pricing and ratings come from Consumer Reports vehicle records. Auto Guide groups these records by model and reported generation start year.
Available years are listed explicitly. Gaps do not imply that a model was discontinued. Prices are source estimates, not live offers. No first-hand road test by Auto Guide is claimed.
