Larger and more robust, the CLA EV 2026 will be the most advanced electric vehicle from Mercedes-Benz. The model will have a hybrid version 9 months after its launch.
Expected to arrive in the U.S. by the end of 2025, the Mercedes-Benz CLA EV 2026 brings a larger, more robust design to accommodate the new battery that allows the vehicle to reach 329 hp.
Considered the most advanced EV from Mercedes to date, the new CLA uses an 800-volt architecture, allowing charging speeds of up to 320 kW.
The battery powers two motors: a rear motor with 268 hp, coupled with a two-speed transmission, and an additional front motor of 107 hp that activates when the vehicle needs extra acceleration or traction.
The dual-motor model accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds, while the single-motor version reaches the same in 6.6 seconds, according to the manufacturer.
The interior of the CLA EV 2026 features three screens that span across the dashboard, including a 10.3-inch digital instrument panel, a 14-inch touchscreen in the center, and an optional similarly-sized screen for the passenger.

The infotainment system now runs a new version of MBUX, Mercedes’ multimedia system, which includes Google Maps navigation with enhanced search powered by Google’s AI, Gemini.
Passengers will be able to enjoy a panoramic roof with UV protection.
The CLA EV 2026 will offer seat options in black, brown, black with vibrant green details, black and white two-tone, and black and red two-tone.
The special launch edition features a golden finish, Tartufo brown seats with gold details, and a matte black body with black wheels and golden rims.
The hybrid version of the CLA EV 2026 is expected to be released in 2026, while the fully electric version will reach U.S. dealerships in the fall of 2025.
As an entry-level model, experts believe the new electric vehicle from Mercedes will cost less than $60,000, although the brand has not disclosed official prices.
