Vehicle profile
The CLA 250+ with EQ Technology is Mercedes' efficiency flagship: an 800 V fastback sedan pairing an 85 kWh usable battery with up to 792 km WLTP range, 320 kW DC charging (10-80% in about 18 minutes), a standard heat pump, and a 405-litre boot plus 101-litre frunk.
Mercedes-Benz CLA works best when long-distance drivers who want the longest wltp range in the class and predictable charging matter more than headline acceleration.

Best for buyers who want class-leading range and ultra-fast 800 V charging in a premium sedan and accept rear-wheel drive and no V2L for it.
Best fits include: Long-distance drivers who want the longest WLTP range in the class, Fast-charging-first buyers — 800 V and 10-80% in about 18 minutes, and Efficiency-focused commuters.
The main caveats are these: The 792 km WLTP headline is the low-spec TEL figure — higher trims and wheels are rated 694 km; and No vehicle-to-load, and the 250+ is rear-drive only.
792 km on the WLTP cycle.
