During the test, the CLA was recharged 40 times, each stop lasting 10 minutes, and maintained an average of about 153 km/h. Mercedes leveraged the 800V electric architecture and DC fast charging, which allowed for short intervals between charges.
The prototype used for the record had rear-wheel drive, a single motor, and a two-speed transmission, but the final version of the CLA will be offered in all-wheel-drive and dual-motor configurations.
In addition to the electric versions, the brand will also launch the model with an internal combustion engine, equipped with a new 2.0-liter gasoline engine, developed through a partnership between Geely and Renault.
