The Future of Luxury Is Electric: Introducing the 2026 Mercedes-Benz CLA 250+

The wait is over. The all-new 2026 Mercedes-Benz CLA 250+ with EQ Technology is arriving in the United States, and it’s rewriting what you should expect from a luxury electric sedan. Starting at just $47,250 MSRP, the Mercedes-Benz Electric CLA for sale delivers class-leading range, lightning-fast charging, and the timeless elegance you expect from the three-pointed star, all in one stunning package available at your premier New Jersey Mercedes-Benz dealership, Ray Catena of Freehold.

Range That Goes the Distance

Forget range anxiety. The 2026 CLA 250+ is EPA-rated at an extraordinary 374 miles of range on a single charge, making it one of the longest-range luxury EVs at its price point. Whether you’re commuting across the metro or heading out on a weekend road trip, the CLA 250+ keeps pace with your life without demanding constant stops at a charger.

Powering that range is an 85 kWh liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery pack combined with a rear-mounted 200kW permanently excited synchronous motor delivering 268 horsepower and 247 lb-ft of torque. The result? A refined, confident 0–60 mph sprint in approximately 6.6 seconds and a top speed of 130 mph.

Charge Smarter, Not Longer

The CLA 250+ is built on Mercedes-Benz’s advanced 800-volt electrical architecture, the first in the Mercedes lineup,  enabling DC fast charging at up to 320 kW. That means you can recharge from 10 to 80 percent in as little as 22 minutes. At home, the built-in 9.6 kW onboard charger connects to any Level 2 240V outlet and replenishes a full charge overnight in under 9 hours. And with a standard NACS fast-charge port, Tesla Supercharger network compatibility comes built right in.

A Two-Speed Advantage

Most EVs use a single-speed transmission. The CLA 250+ goes further with a two-speed automatic transmission, a feature shared with vehicles like the Porsche Taycan. The added gear ratio maximizes highway efficiency and low-speed responsiveness, so the CLA 250+ doesn’t just go far, it goes far efficiently.

Next-Generation Technology Inside

Step inside and you’re greeted by the latest generation of Mercedes-Benz MBUX, an AI-powered infotainment system that learns your preferences, responds to voice commands, and keeps you connected to what matters most. The cabin is designed to feel spacious and premium, blending cutting-edge digital displays with the luxurious materials and craftsmanship that define every Mercedes-Benz.

Advanced driver-assist systems come standard, including updated safety and convenience features designed for modern driving demands.
