The all-new Mercedes-Benz CLA Shooting Brake – the first electric Mercedes Benz available as an estate – is now available to order in the UK.
Following the launch of the Mercedes-Benz CLA saloon, initially the CLA Shooting Brake is available as an electric model in two configurations: the CLA 250+ and CLA 350 4MATIC.
The Mercedes-Benz CLA 250+ has an electric driving range of up to 469 miles, with the CLA 350 4MATIC offering a range of up to 451 miles. Both have a maximum DC charging speed of 320 kW.
The all-electric CLA 250+ and CLA 350 4MATIC are equipped with an 85 kWh high-voltage battery and a 200 kW (272 hp) electric drive unit (EDU) mounted on the rear-axle. Developed entirely in-house by Mercedes-Benz, the EDU features a two-speed transmission: first gear allows the CLA to accelerate quickly from a standstill and deliver the best possible efficiency in urban environments, while second gear ensures high efficiency – and therefore outstanding range and long distance comfort – at consistent motorway speeds.
The CLA 350 4MATIC is equipped with an additional 80 kW (109 hp) EDU on the front axle. This electric motor is only activated when additional power or traction from the front axle is needed. The Disconnect Unit (DCU) quickly decouples this electric motor under low load, reducing front axle losses by up to 90 percent.
The all-new CLA Shooting Brake has up to 1,290 litres of luggage space, plus the 101-litre ‘frunk’.
Every CLA is equipped with a 14-inch centre display with smartphone integration and an integrated video camera. From launch the MBUX Superscreen, which adds a second 14-inch display for the front-seat passenger, is equipped as standard from AMG Line Premium specification upwards.
Optional equipment includes a tow bar with ESP trailer stabilisation (£950) and a direct current charging system (£850), which enables owners to charge their CLA Shooting Brake at 400-volt DC charging stations.
Available in Sport, Sport Executive, AMG Line Executive, AMG Line Premium and AMG Line Premium Plus specifications, deliveries will commence in Q1 2026 with prices starting from £47,750.
