Mercedes-Benz has once again raised the bar with the launch of the all-new CLA. This sleek, sophisticated, and futuristic model isn't just a car; it’s a statement. Offering more space, intelligence, efficiency, and comfort than ever before, the CLA is set to redefine the driving experience. And with the debut of the all-electric version, Mercedes-Benz is making a bold move towards the future of mobility.

A New Age of Intelligence

At the heart of the CLA’s revolution is the groundbreaking Mercedes-Benz Operating System (MB.OS). This cutting-edge AI-enhanced system transforms every vehicle into a rolling supercomputer, capable of over-the-air updates to keep it fresh for years. Whether it's upgrading driving assistance features or integrating new apps, your CLA stays ahead of the curve without ever needing a trip to the dealership.

Adding to its high-tech appeal, the CLA is the first Mercedes-Benz to feature AI from both Microsoft and Google, bringing hyper-personalised experiences to the fourth-generation MBUX infotainment system. The futuristic MBUX Superscreen delivers stunning real-time graphics powered by the Unity Game Engine, making the interface as intuitive as a smartphone. Swiping between apps, customising folders, and accessing recently used features has never been easier.

A Personal Assistant That Understands You

The MBUX Virtual Assistant isn't just a digital helper—it’s an empathetic companion. With ChatGPT4o integration and Google Gemini-powered navigation, this AI-powered assistant doesn’t just provide directions; it understands context and emotion. Need a last-minute restaurant recommendation? Want to find the most scenic route home? The CLA has you covered.

Navigation Like Never Before

Say goodbye to guesswork with Mercedes-Benz Navigation with Electric Intelligence. Powered by Google Maps, this system not only finds the fastest routes but also plans optimal charging stops for the electric version. Plus, with MBUX Surround Navigation, drivers get a real-time 3D view of their surroundings, making every journey safer and more seamless.

Featuring a state-of-the-art 800-volt electric architecture, it can charge up to 325 km in just 10 minutes-almost as fast as refuelling a traditional car

Driving Made Effortless

Safety and convenience take centre stage with MB.DRIVE, a suite of advanced driver assistance and parking systems. From DISTRONIC Distance Assist to Lane Change Assist, the CLA helps drivers navigate with confidence. Whether you're tackling busy city streets or cruising on the motorway, the CLA’s SAE Level 2 driving assistance ensures smooth sailing.

Electrifying Performance: A Car for the Future

With an impressive range of up to 792 kilometres, the CLA 250+ is a game-changer for electric mobility. Featuring a state-of-the-art 800-volt electric architecture, it can charge up to 325 km in just 10 minutes—almost as fast as refuelling a traditional car.

The new two-speed transmission offers the best of both worlds: instant acceleration in first gear and outstanding efficiency in second gear, ensuring a thrilling yet economical ride. Meanwhile, the multi-source heat pump harnesses waste heat from the drivetrain, battery, and ambient air, making the CLA one of the most energy-efficient vehicles in its class.

For Those Who Still Love Hybrid Power

For those who aren't ready to go fully electric, the CLA will soon be available with a 48-volt hybrid drivetrain in three power levels. These models can cruise on pure electric mode at speeds of up to 100 km/h, making city driving both efficient and eco-friendly.

A Design That Commands Attention

The CLA isn’t just about cutting-edge tech; it’s a head-turner. With a GT-inspired rear, athletic proportions, and sculpted surfaces, it’s a car that exudes confidence. The illuminated star panel grille with 142 animated LED stars gives the CLA an iconic face, while the MULTIBEAM LED headlights and star-shaped taillights ensure it looks just as dazzling at night.

Inside, the minimalist floating MBUX Superscreen spans the dashboard, providing an immersive experience. The panoramic roof, standard across all models, floods the cabin with natural light, enhancing the feeling of space and luxury. And with premium materials like open-pore wood and brushed aluminium, the CLA’s interior is as refined as it is futuristic.

Conclusion: The Future Is Here

With its blend of AI-powered intelligence, breathtaking design, and groundbreaking efficiency, the all-new Mercedes-Benz CLA is more than just a car—it’s a technological masterpiece on wheels.
