Mercedes-Benz CLA 250+ (2025)
CLA 250+ is part of Mercedes-Benz’s new all-electric CLA generation—an EV sibling to the traditional CLA sedan. Here’s what sets it apart:
- Electric Powertrain (EQ Technology): The CLA 250+ is an electric variant, delivering enhanced efficiency and zero emissions, unlike the gasoline-powered CLA 250 models people are more familiar with
- Rear-Wheel Drive with 268 hp: Under the hood (figuratively speaking), the CLA 250+ features a single rear-mounted electric motor, producing around 268 horsepower and 247 lb-ft of torque.
- Impressive Range and Charging:
- Estimated driving range up to 472 miles (on the Shooting Brake version).
- Supports ultra-fast DC charging at 320 kW, delivering up to 192 miles in just 10 minutes.
- Luxury and Tech Features:
- Comes with a panoramic sunroof, AI-powered infotainment, MBUX Superscreen, and high-end seating (Artico leather).
- Additional tech goodies include voice assistant “Hey Mercedes”, a large 14-inch screen with media and video conferencing, and advanced parking aids.
- Advanced Efficiency Design: Includes an 800-volt architecture, aerodynamic enhancements, and a two-speed gearbox for both performance and efficiency.
- Positioning: Positioned as an intelligent, efficient, and relatively affordable entry into Mercedes’ electric vehicle lineup.
Bottom Line
- CLA 250+ = a fully electric CLA model offering high efficiency, long range, cutting-edge tech, and intelligent design.
- CLA 250 (gas model) = the current gasoline-powered compact coupe, blending sporty performance and digital luxury in a more familiar setup.

Home & Destination Charging (0 → 100%)
Charging is possible by using a regular wall plug or a charging station. Public charging is always done through a charging station. How fast the EV can charge depends on the EVSE and the vehicle’s onboard charger. Availability of 1-phase/3-phase connections varies by country.

Fast Charging (10 → 80%)
Connector: Combined Charging System (CCS Combo 2). Rapid charging enables longer trips by adding as much range as possible in the shortest time. Charge power tapers significantly beyond ~80% SoC; most rapid sessions stop at or before 80%. Real-world rates depend on charger capability, the vehicle’s charging curve, temperature, and initial SoC.

1-Stop Range Definition ⚡
For vehicles without fast-charging capability, only the distance of the first stop is considered.
🚗 Driving Profile
- Begin with a fully charged battery
- Stop 1: Drive until the battery reaches 10% state-of-charge (SoC)
- Perform a 15-minute fast charge
- Stop 2: Continue driving until the battery again reaches 10% SoC
📋 Assumptions
- Driving speed, climate, and environmental conditions are based on Real Range Highway data
- No additional time required to initiate or stop the charging session
- The charging station always delivers the maximum power requested by the vehicle
- The battery is assumed to be in optimal health and condition
⚠️ Important Note : In real-world driving, it is practically impossible to replicate these conditions exactly.
This benchmark should therefore be viewed as a comparative metric, designed to evaluate vehicles under standardized conditions rather than predict exact trip distances.
