2026 Mercedes-Benz CLA Delivers 325km Range in 10 Minutes

Electric driving anxiety disappears when you can add 325 kilometres to your range during a quick coffee break. The all-new 2026 Mercedes-Benz CLA transforms electric mobility with charging technology that works on your schedule, not the other way around.

This 10-minute charging capability changes how you approach electric vehicle ownership. Instead of structuring your day around lengthy charging sessions, you gain the freedom to drive spontaneously while your CLA powers up faster than you can complete a restaurant order.

800-Volt Architecture Delivers Real Speed

The CLA's 800-volt electrical system powers charging speeds that surpass most electric vehicles currently available. With DC fast charging reaching up to 320 kW, the technology delivers energy at rates that make traditional charging feel outdated.

Your CLA uses a new generation battery with 85 kWh usable capacity, featuring silicon-oxide anodes that boost energy density by 20 percent over conventional designs. This concentrated energy storage works with the high-voltage system to create charging sessions that feel more like refueling than waiting.

The CLA 250+ with EQ Technology gains between 285-325 kilometres of WLTP range during a 10-minute session at compatible 500-amp DC stations. Your CLA 350 4MATIC with EQ Technology achieves 275-315 kilometres in the same timeframe, proving that all-wheel-drive performance doesn't compromise charging efficiency.

Practical Range for Real Driving

Consider what 325 kilometres provides in everyday terms. You can drive from Montreal to Quebec City, tour the Eastern Townships, or reach Ottawa with range remaining – all from a 10-minute charging stop.

The CLA 250+ offers up to 792 kilometres of total WLTP range on a full charge, while the 349-hp CLA 350 4MATIC provides 672-771 kilometres. These figures translate to genuine long-distance capability that rivals conventional vehicles while delivering the instant response and quiet operation that define electric performance.

Your daily commute becomes effortless with this range capacity. Weekend getaways require minimal planning, as the CLA's efficiency and charging speed create flexibility that adapts to your routine rather than constraining it.

Smart System Manages Everything

Mercedes-Benz Operating System (MB.OS) handles the charging experience beyond simply plugging in. The system's Navigation with Electric Intelligence automatically plans optimal routes including necessary charging stops, calculating factors like topography, weather conditions, and your driving patterns for efficient travel.

Google Maps integration provides real-time charging station information, including availability and pricing, directly through the 14-inch central display. The system reserves charging spots at Mercedes-Benz charging hubs 15 minutes before your arrival, eliminating wait times.

Battery preconditioning activates automatically during navigation to charging stations, bringing the battery to optimal temperature for maximum charging speeds. This thermal management ensures you achieve those 10-minute charging sessions consistently, regardless of weather conditions.

Power Without Compromise

The CLA 250+ produces 268 hp and 247 lb-ft of torque through its rear-wheel-drive configuration, accelerating from 0-60 mph in an estimated 6.6 seconds. The two-speed transmission optimizes both city efficiency and highway performance, contributing to the vehicle's range capabilities.

The CLA 350 4MATIC delivers 349 hp and 380 lb-ft through its dual-motor all-wheel-drive system. This variant achieves 0-60 mph in just 4.8 seconds while maintaining the same fast-charging capabilities that define the lineup.

Both models use a multi-source heat pump as standard equipment, drawing waste heat from the drivetrain and battery to minimize energy consumption for cabin heating. This efficiency focus maintains your range across seasons while preserving comfort.

Electric Driving Redefined

The 2026 Mercedes-Benz CLA eliminates traditional electric vehicle barriers through 10-minute charging sessions that add hundreds of kilometres. Your driving experience feels unrestricted.

Your relationship with electric mobility shifts from careful planning to spontaneous exploration. The CLA provides confidence to take that unexpected detour, accept the last-minute invitation, or simply drive for pleasure – knowing that your next charge is both quick and convenient.
