Mercedes Benz showcased the CLA Concept at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025, in India. Now the brand has revealed a few details about it, which you must check out.

Mercedes is also bucking the traditional method of introducing a new platform as an ICE vehicle and then wedging the design into an EV platform. Instead, the company is going “EV first,” launching the CLA as an EV first and then later as an internal combustion with a mild hybrid in 2026.

The new EV CLA introduces a host of thrilling and advanced features, thus taking to fight to the other established German EVs.

The new-generation Mercedes-AMG CLA45 will follow its Benz sibling and go electric, with more than 370kW and active aero to feature.

The CLA's two-speed gearbox adds cost, but Mercedes told The Drive that the investment is worth it, especially at highway speeds.
