Exterior design
Step inside and the CLA Electric feels like a digital sanctuary, debuting Mercedes’ fourth-generation MBUX infotainment system, built on the new MB.OS software.
Interior

Seat comfort
First driving impression is one of extraordinary refinement. Performance, while not overtly aggressive, is delivered with quintessential Mercedes smoothness and progression.
Driving impression

Ride and handling
CLA Electric stands out with its cutting-edge tech and remarkable efficiency.
