The 2027 Mercedes-Benz CLA: Three Ways to Experience the Next Generation of Mercedes-Benz

The Mercedes-Benz CLA has always offered an appealing combination of distinctive design, technology and driving dynamics. For 2027, Mercedes-Benz takes the CLA in an entirely new direction by giving drivers a choice of three electrified powertrain configurations.

Whether you prefer the flexibility of a hybrid powertrain or want to make the complete transition to electric driving, the 2027 Mercedes-Benz CLA offers a choice designed around the way you drive.

The 2027 CLA lineup includes:

• CLA 220 Hybrid
• CLA 250+ Electric
• CLA 350 4MATIC® Electric

All three share the new-generation CLA’s sleek four-door coupe design, advanced technology and modern Mercedes-Benz luxury. The biggest difference is what powers them.

2027 Mercedes-Benz CLA 220 Hybrid

For drivers who want the flexibility of gasoline power combined with electric assistance, the CLA 220 Hybrid offers a compelling middle ground.

The CLA 220 uses a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 48-volt hybrid assistance. The gasoline engine produces 188 horsepower, while the integrated electric motor can provide up to an additional 30 horsepower.

The system is paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission with the electric motor integrated into the transmission. Mercedes-Benz lists the CLA 220 Hybrid with front-wheel drive.

The result is a CLA designed to provide the familiarity and flexibility of a gasoline-powered vehicle while incorporating electrification to improve efficiency and responsiveness.

Mercedes-Benz estimates the CLA 220 Hybrid at 29 mpg city and 39 mpg highway, with a 0-to-60-mph time of approximately 7.1 seconds.

Why choose the CLA 220 Hybrid?

The CLA 220 Hybrid may be the right choice for drivers who:

• Want excellent fuel efficiency without moving to a fully electric vehicle
• Prefer the convenience of gasoline refueling
• Want electric assistance without having to plan around charging
• Drive a combination of city and highway miles
• Want to experience Mercedes-Benz electrification while retaining traditional powertrain flexibility

For many drivers, the hybrid CLA represents a comfortable transition between conventional gasoline power and a fully electric vehicle.

2027 Mercedes-Benz CLA 250+ Electric

For drivers ready to make the move to an all-electric Mercedes-Benz, the CLA 250+ Electric takes the CLA into a new generation of EV technology.

The CLA 250+ Electric uses a rear-mounted 200-kilowatt permanently excited synchronous electric motor producing 268 horsepower and 247 lb-ft of torque.

It is powered by an 85-kWh battery and features a two-speed electric transmission. Mercedes-Benz estimates the CLA 250+ Electric can travel up to 374 miles on a single charge, making it one of the most compelling choices for drivers who want long-distance EV capability.

Acceleration from 0 to 60 mph takes approximately 6.6 seconds.

Fast charging for everyday convenience

The CLA 250+ Electric is designed to make charging a natural part of everyday driving.

Mercedes-Benz lists DC fast-charging capability of up to 320 kW, with a claimed 10-to-80-percent charging time of approximately 22 minutes under appropriate charging conditions. The vehicle also uses the North American Charging Standard (NACS) connector.

For drivers who can charge at home, overnight charging can make daily EV ownership particularly convenient.

Why choose the CLA 250+ Electric?

The CLA 250+ Electric may be ideal for drivers who want:

• Up to an EPA-estimated 374 miles of electric range
• Zero tailpipe emissions during operation
• Quick DC fast charging
• Rear-wheel-drive performance
• Smooth and quiet electric acceleration
• The latest generation of Mercedes-Benz EV technology

It also demonstrates that choosing an electric vehicle doesn’t necessarily mean giving up performance or luxury.

2027 Mercedes-Benz CLA 350 4MATIC® Electric

For drivers who want the performance benefits of electric power combined with all-wheel drive, the CLA 350 4MATIC® Electric takes things a step further.

The CLA 350 4MATIC® Electric uses dual permanently synchronous electric motors producing a combined 349 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque.

Power is distributed to all four wheels through Mercedes-Benz 4MATIC® all-wheel drive.

The CLA 350 4MATIC® Electric can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in approximately 4.8 seconds, making it the performance-oriented choice among the three 2027 CLA configurations. Mercedes-Benz estimates its electric range at 312 miles.

Why choose the CLA 350 4MATIC® Electric?

The CLA 350 4MATIC® Electric is particularly appealing to drivers who want:

• 349 horsepower
• 380 lb-ft of torque
• Dual electric motors
• Mercedes-Benz 4MATIC® all-wheel drive
• Approximately 4.8-second 0-to-60-mph acceleration
• Up to an EPA-estimated 312 miles of electric range

For drivers who don’t want to compromise between electrification and performance, the CLA 350 4MATIC® Electric provides both.

Three CLA Powertrains, Three Different Ways to Drive

One of the most interesting things about the 2027 CLA is that Mercedes-Benz isn’t asking every driver to make the same choice.

Specifications and EPA estimates are subject to applicable Mercedes-Benz and EPA testing and may vary with equipment, conditions and driving habits.

A New Generation of Mercedes-Benz Technology

The powertrains are only part of what makes the 2027 CLA significant.

The new CLA introduces the fourth generation of Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX), incorporating artificial intelligence from Microsoft and Google into the vehicle’s digital experience.

Mercedes-Benz also highlights MBUX Navigation with conversational capabilities and Google Cloud’s Automotive AI Agent, bringing more natural voice interaction and intelligent navigation functionality to the CLA.

The result is a vehicle that isn’t simply electrified—it is designed around a more connected and intelligent driving experience.

Which 2027 CLA Is Right for You?

The best CLA depends on how you drive.

Choose the CLA 220 Hybrid if you want the flexibility of gasoline power with the efficiency and responsiveness of electric assistance.

Choose the CLA 250+ Electric if your priority is maximum electric range and you want a rear-wheel-drive EV with an EPA-estimated range of up to 374 miles.

Choose the CLA 350 4MATIC® Electric if you want all-wheel-drive confidence and significantly stronger performance while still enjoying the benefits of electric driving.

There isn’t one right answer for every driver—and that’s exactly what makes the 2027 CLA lineup so interesting.
