You can go from Ahmedabad to Mumbai on one charge – that is how far the new Mercedes India CLA Electric can drive in one go.
Big news: Mercedes India brings CLA Electric
Mercedes India has shown a new car called the CLA Electric for our market.
This is a shiny electric sedan that runs only on battery, with no petrol or diesel engine.
The car promises up to 792 km driving range in lab tests called the WLTP cycle.
This number makes it one of the longest‑range electric cars planned for India.
What makes the range special
The CLA Electric uses a big battery of about 85 kWh size.
With this, Mercedes India says the CLA 250+ version can go up to 792 km on one full charge in WLTP testing.
In simple words, you can do long highway trips with fewer charging stops.
For many families, this means less “range worry” while planning vacations or city‑to‑city travel.
The car also supports very fast DC charging, with power up to around 320 kW in many markets.
Some reports say it can add about 300 to 325 km of range in around 10 minutes at a strong fast charger.
This helps you stop for a short break, charge, and then quickly get back on the road.
Design and tech that feel modern
The Mercedes India CLA Electric is built on a new MMA platform made for electric cars.
It has a smooth, aero‑friendly body to cut wind and save energy.
Outside, you get sharp LED lights and a lit‑up front grille design that make the car stand out at night.
Inside, the car is full of screens and smart features.
There is a large digital driver display and a wide central touch screen, and in some markets even a screen for the front passenger.
The car uses a new system called MB.OS with AI‑based voice help and connected services.
This means you can talk to your car, get maps, music, and charging info in a simple way.
Power, speed and safety
The CLA Electric 250+ uses a rear‑wheel‑drive electric motor.
It makes about 268 hp of power and can go from 0 to 100 km/h in about 6.7 seconds, as claimed.
The car also has a special two‑speed gearbox to give strong pull at low speed and good efficiency at high speed.
For safety, international versions come with many driver‑assist systems like lane keeping and smart cruise control.
These features help keep you, your family, and other people on the road safer on long drives.
