CLA-SS OF ITS OWN

Mercedes drives into the EV field confidently with its new CLA, with 462 miles before it requires a charge and a large display housing all the tech you need
-
The world of electric vehicles is progressing at a rapid pace and this car - the new Mercedes CLA - is hoping to be at the forefront of that. On paper, the CLA looks like it could be the ideal EV to combat range anxiety, but is that really the case? We've tested it to see what it's like.
WHAT'S NEW?
It sits atop a brand new platform, and while it does launch with an electric powertrain, Mercedes has also introduced a hybrid. That dedicated platform allows the CLA to bring both powertrains, widening its appeal.
The tech is sharper and newer, too, thanks to the help from both Microsoft and Google, and it is all housed in a super-large display.
WHAT'S UNDER THE BONNET?
