Mercedes-Benz CLA Electric

The Mercedes-Benz CLA Electric brings the brand's compact executive style to the EV market in India, priced between ₹56 lakh and ₹64 lakh (ex-showroom). With up to 792 km of claimed range from an 85.5 kWh battery and a 221 bhp all-wheel-drive powertrain, it targets buyers who want a premium electric sedan with genuine long-range ability.

Range and Charging

Up to 792 km of claimed range comes from an 85.5 kWh lithium-ion battery, one of the highest figures in the executive segment. Fast charging is supported, with a fast-charge time of around 22 minutes listed on the specification. As with any EV, real-world range will be lower than the claim, especially on highways and in extreme weather.

Performance and Driving

A 221 bhp electric motor with 335 Nm of torque drives all four wheels through an automatic transmission, delivering refined, composed performance rather than outright aggression. Regenerative braking helps recover energy in city traffic, and disc brakes on all wheels ensure confident stopping. It is an easy, quiet executive car for both city and highway use.

Practicality and Features

Five seats and a 405-litre boot make the CLA Electric a practical daily executive sedan. Safety kit includes ABS with EBD and driver, passenger and side front airbags, while air conditioning and power steering come as standard. Eight exterior colours, from Polar White to Manufaktur Patagonia Red, allow a high degree of personalisation.

Who Should Buy It

The Mercedes-Benz CLA Electric is for premium buyers who want an executive EV with class-leading claimed range in a compact, stylish package. With three variants from ₹56.50 lakh to ₹64 lakh, it slots below Mercedes-Benz's larger EQ models. If range and badge matter more than outright cabin space, the CLA Electric is one of the strongest choices in its class.
