Mercedes-Benz is getting ready to bring the all-new CLA to India. After its global debut in Europe last year, the third-generation Mercedes CLA will finally arrive in India this April. This time, it will be launched as a fully electric sedan.

The Mercedes CLA Electric will sit in the premium C-segment and is expected to be one of the most advanced electric cars from a luxury European brand.

First-Ever CLA Electric with Fast Charging Tech

The new CLA Electric is built on an 800-volt electric platform. This allows ultra-fast charging and makes daily driving more convenient. Mercedes has focused on offering long range along with quick charging times.

Globally, the CLA Electric is available in three versions - CLA 200, CLA 250+, and CLA 350 4MATIC.
