Mercedes-Benz Concept CLA Class (2023)
Concept car · 2023 · Electric
A one-litre-per-100-km efficiency vision for the electric CLA.
Shown at IAA Mobility 2023, the Concept CLA Class was the forerunner of the first family of cars on the all-new Mercedes-Benz Modular Architecture (MMA). Drawing on Vision EQXX efficiency tech, it paired an 800-volt system with a new in-house drive unit for a claimed WLTP range beyond 750 km (466 miles) at around 12 kWh/100 km. Configured for rear-wheel drive, it previewed a four-model line-up: a four-door coupe, a shooting brake and two SUVs.
