The Mercedes-Benz Concept CLA Class EV has officially been unveiled, and it has an anticipated range of more than 467 miles, with an impressive energy consumption of around 12 kWh/100 kilometers (5.2 mi/kWh). It features an in-house developed drivetrain derived from the electric-drive system in the VISION EQXX that consists of an 800 V electric architecture combined with a battery with exceptional energy density.
Power comes from an ultra lightweight electric motor that makes 235 hp, complete with an electric drive unit that has an extremely high efficiency of up to 93%. All three infotainment displays in the cabin run MB.OS, which uses artificial intelligence and machine learning powered by the latest-generation chips and system-on-chips (SoCs) including a water-cooled chip from NVIDIA. Plus, it’s supported by highly advanced sensors and the Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Cloud. The massive MBUX Superscreen boasts advanced real-time graphics powered by game engine technology, similar to the VISION EQXX. There’s no word yet on if this concept will go into production.

The Concept CLA Class is the forerunner for an entirely new all-electric segment of entry-level vehicles at Mercedes-Benz. The range will comprise a total of four new models – a four-door coupe, a shooting brake and two stunning SUVs – each with significantly elevated product substance. This new model family is inspired by a generation of car buyers who want that unmistakable Mercedes-Benz feel, with more features, even greater comfort and safety and the most advanced technology,” said Ola Källenius, Chief Executive Officer, Mercedes-Benz Group AGM.
