EV Channels Review
The 2025 Mercedes-Benz CLA marks a significant shift for the brand's entry-level offerings, presenting a compelling EV option alongside a hybrid variant. The reviewer highlights the new MMA platform's advancements, including 800V architecture and efficient motors, aiming to rectify past criticisms of Mercedes' EV design and driving dynamics. While the CLA 250+ EQ Technology (the UK launch model) impresses with its potential for nearly 500 miles of range and a more traditional 'Benz' driving feel, concerns remain regarding its weight and pricing, which may not align with true entry-level expectations. The new MBUX OS with AI is noted as a promising but initially lacking step. The Shooting Brake variant adds practicality, but the core question remains: is this the 'people's Mercedes' EV or an expensive tech showcase?
