Mercedes-Benz CLA 200 Shooting Brake: a more affordable electric estate

Mercedes-Benz has expanded its CLA Shooting Brake electric estate lineup by introducing a new base model, the CLA 200. With a more compact battery and lower power output, this version is significantly cheaper than existing variants.

For the Business Solution Luxury and Business Solution AMG versions, the range is 514 km and 512 km, respectively.

Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes 7.6 seconds, with a top speed of 210 km/h. The electric vehicle supports fast charging at up to 200 kW. It can also tow a trailer weighing up to 1,500 kg. The boot space is 455 liters, and additional storage under the front hood allows for about 100 liters more.
