Long range on EV	Interior is a bit plasticky
Great to drive	Tight rear passenger access
Comparably well priced	Others have a bigger boot

Quick Summary

The 2026 Mercedes-Benz CLA with EQ Technology marks the beginning of a new generation of Mercedes EVs. This sleek, four-door "coupe-saloon" sits below the C-Class and replaces the previous petrol model with a bespoke electric architecture designed for efficiency. The UK launch model, CLA 250+, features a 268bhp electric motor and an 85kWh (usable) battery, offering an impressive range of up to 484 miles and rapid charging up to 320kW, making it one of the most efficient electric cars on the market. Other versions, including a smaller battery option, a sportier all-wheel-drive model, and a mild hybrid petrol variant, are expected to join the range.

Despite its coupe-like styling, the CLA is surprisingly practical, with a 405-litre boot and a useful 'frunk' for charging cables. While rear headroom can be constrained for taller adults, the front cabin is spacious and comfortable. The driving experience prioritises refinement and efficiency, yet the CLA 250+ is responsive and enjoyable, boasting precise steering and excellent ride comfort. Its interior is dominated by the MBUX Superscreen, offering cutting-edge tech and connectivity. Competitively priced against rivals, the CLA promises strong residual values and low running costs, reinforcing its appeal as a premium electric vehicle.

Best for: Drivers seeking a long-range electric car with sophisticated design and cutting-edge technology, those who appreciate a refined and enjoyable driving experience, and buyers looking for competitive value in the premium EV segment.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising maximum rear passenger headroom, the largest possible boot opening, or those who prefer an interior with less piano-black plastic.

The Verdict

You should buy the CLA if: You're seeking a long-range electric car with sophisticated design and cutting-edge technology, appreciate a refined and enjoyable driving experience, or are looking for competitive value in the premium EV segment.

Competitive Position: The new Mercedes-Benz CLA is a landmark electric car that brings together genuine long-distance range, sophisticated design, and cutting-edge interior technology in a desirable package. While other cars may offer more passenger space or a slightly lower list price, the CLA's engineering ambition, efficiency, and premium appeal make it one of the best electric saloons on sale.
