2025 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class EV Spy Shots and Video

Mercedes-Benz has been spotted testing a compact electric sedan with coupe-like styling.

The car is likely to be the planned electric version of the next generation CLA class, according to which auto car It will be previewed in concept form at the 2023 Munich Auto Show in September, ahead of its market launch in early 2025. The timing points to a US launch for the 2025 or 2026 model year.

The upcoming CLA class, and other members of Mercedes’ next-generation compact family, will ride on a newly developed platform called MMA (Mercedes Modular Architecture). The platform will support both hybrid and fully electric powertrains and will be the last platform designed for Mercedes’ petrol engines. Mercedes’ future platform will be all-electric as the automaker prepares. Fully electrified by 2030.

Mercedes says its MMA platform will likely yield the first models around 2025, making it the next CLA class. This platform will eventually be used for all Mercedes models up to the C-Class segment. In addition to this, Mercedes will have the MB.EA platform for mid- and heavy-duty models, AMG.EA for AMG’s high-performance models and the Van.EA platform for light commercial vehicles.

According to Autocar, the next CLA class will offer a choice of electric or mild-hybrid powertrains. I don’t think there will be a plug-in hybrid.

The prototype is heavily camouflaged, but the styling cues are similar to the theme of current Mercedes, but will likely be influenced by last year’s Mercedes.

EVs based on the MMA platform are expected to have an 800-volt electrical system, which will enable fast charging. The battery capacity is expected to reach up to 100kwh.

It’s not clear what the electric CLA class will be called, but if Mercedes sticks with its current naming practice, the sedan could be called EQA.

This ties in with rumors that Mercedes will soon discontinue his EQ brand.
