Range, efficiency, quality and great design. That is what this car needs to make it. Mercedes has got find a way to get back to producing quality in EVERY product they make, not just the most expensive ones.
@@timmkruger4551 It's a Mercedes, so you're looking at the wrong brand for it to be cheap. EVs are not cheap by nature. Totally unrealistic expectation.
Honestly, as a current owner of a CLA, I have to say - is this the ‘luxury strategy’? I want new car and i just don’t know what to choose from mb. I want an EV sedan that’s larger than the CLA, so I went for a test drive with the EQE, and I honestly don’t see why I should choose it over a Tesla. It doesn’t even have a front trunk, costs twice as much, is slower and less efficient. An electric premium? In my country, I only have two cars to choose from. The E-Class hybrid, with a 370L trunk - are you kidding me? So with this luxury strategy, all I’m seeing is the price tag without any added value - in fact, I often see even less value for luxury price. And bring back real buttons on the steering wheel! Good luck.
Don't worry, this next gen electric CLA is gonna be all that you ever wanted. The EQE that you HAVE wasn't designed to be an all electric car to start with . Be patient, you're gonna love the next gen mercedes cars :)
remember this upcoming CLA model will have ultra efficient cell to pack battery design from EQXX amazing concept with atleast 45% higher pack level energy density compared with EQS battery pack(ultra light weight f1 inspired packaging and casing tech and design) edit:i was wrong it still uses modular pack according to MB
@@davidfujkk8018 I am not talking about efficienty of new CLA, i hope will be good but i am talking about price vs value vs competitors in current mb stocks.
@fdsafsfdsafsad believe me 2026 cla will be the most advanced technological EV and ice vehicle mankind has ever seen . it will have most efficient both electric drive unit with 2 speed transmission(200 kw=268 hp) and mild hybrid 1.5 liter i4 internal combustion engine that will be called m252( 160 kw=214 hp) along side with it's amazing drag coefficient , it will be the most efficient ev on sale(better than both lucid air pure and model 3 LR RWD).also ice version will feature an efficient mild hybrid system but at the same time efficieny of a full plug in hybrid model because of it's drag co efficient and thermal effiency of it's inhouse developed FAME ice.and best in class head room,leg room and trunk capacity.
If you want good cars, make them more in the direction of 2007 to 2016, which were the beautiful models, and now they are okay and there is no soul to them anymore, then they were great and the cars had a soul.
Fully agree, 2013 A-Class is still my love, no problem, it runs now 195‘000km. But it´s time for zero emission cars, time is ready, some products too. This CLA I hope too, but Iˋm a bit anxious about the coming price tag…
EQ line up will be dead in early 2028,they will offer an electric version of their whole lineup,meaning we will see 2028 S class with combustion engine and full electric version(possibly with 500 wh/kg upcoming 2027 CATL all solid battery cells) along side each other with the same S class's beautiful design. And EQS will be gone in 2028, i have to admit that its a very smart decision indeed . and remember this upcoming CLA model will have ultra efficient cell to pack battery design from EQXX amazing concept with atleast 45% higher pack level energy density compared with EQS battery pack(ultra light weight f1 inspired packaging and casing tech and design).
@@dennis.lc8407 while the shape might look like a CLA, the front and back headlights seem to look totally like an EQ / EV car.. im 100% sure that there is a big LED strip at the front and in my opinion, the lED lights look silly, way to friendly and playful... the CLA back then was marketed as a sharp looking predator, youthfoul looking car for the younger audience... i guess with the new cla this era will finally end... thats why i will not buy one and i drive cla for over 8 years now... i soon switch to CLE...
How are you able to see the design? Dou you got some X-Ray eyes the world should know about? I just see a typical CLA silhoutte and thats it. The wrap is designed in a way that a human eye is losing track of dimensions. So a normal person is not able the see the design lines. Nevertheless the car looks bold
I don’t think taking MB logo literally as headlight is a good design. It feels flat and less dynamic. Only in graphic design we do this, not automobile design. The star just feels static compared to a fluid line.
CO2 regulations. Brands have to hit an average CO2 over all the cars they sell in the EU (and UK) of around 95g/km, A v8 would be around 300g/km. The V8s they already offer on GTs, G-Wagons etc are about as many as they can already sell without going over the average.
The CEO don't make those decisions himself. He uses input from the CTO, engineering, R&D, marketing team, and if it's a big change the board of directors might have to vote about it.
Superfast charging with 800 Volt, low electric power consumption, brandnew software system. This sounds like a perfect touring car for me. Great job. Want to have it.
Unless this sells for less than 50K for a decent edition, this is DOA. Probably has option lists spanning a couple thousand bucks for basic features the competition has as standard. Edit: just saw the headlight reveal. Are these guys serious? They get excited about the DRL being a little star?
Sooo... How fast does it charge? How far do you get with one charge? And how efficient is the "from the ground up developed new power train with the two-speed transmission"?? This video answered basically no questions while don't being very interesting at all. On the other hand it says "New prototype" in the title. So is this the CLA they are going to sell on which they are working right now?
I'm absolutely thrilled with my CLA Shooting Brake! It's an amazing car, but I've been eagerly anticipating an electric version. Unfortunately, my needs have changed, and I now require a 7-seater. I recently test drove the EQB 300, and while it's incredibly comfortable, the range left me wanting more. Now, I'm excitedly looking forward to the EQB's successor, expected around 2026! I can't wait to see how it's evolved and, most importantly, what kind of range it will offer. Hopefully, it'll be the perfect electric 7-seater I've been dreaming of!
Wish Mercedes revamps its interior design and instrument layout. My Dad's 190E, 260E and C280 had really classy and timeless design. Hyundai already admitted that focus groups want buttons and knobs and not just one or two displays.
The headlights are very clean.. I like the design. Let's see if Mercedes has really been able to bring down the charging times to be closer to refueling gas cars... That's the biggest obstacle to electric cars IMO.. the range extender version would be a nice add.
People charge at home over night and can go at least 400km or so the next day. It's quite rare for most people to go further than that more than a few times a year.
Mercedes neeeds to focus on improving their interior build and material quality. At the moment it's very poor and even worse than some mainstream brands. Also, they need to start making the tech standard. Having to pay for radar cruise, 360 cameras etc is unacceptable while basic Chinese cars have it standard and it works well.
im expecting a very subdued uninspiring design with higher price that will further deepen the weak sales in europe and no amount of tarrifs on chinese cars will save them until they will actually start listneing to customers and stop cutting the corner on quality ... they can very easily slip into vw way and that will not be fun for shareholders and board members
For the Mercedes-Benz CLA, the battery's origin can vary depending on the specific model and production batch. For the most accurate information, contacting Mercedes-Benz customer service or your local dealer is recommended.
Why at Chinese prices? That’s unfair The Chinese are cheaper cause they’re crappy cars that won’t last With Mercedes you get a better car and you pay more
Hopefully, the launch of the electric CLA will restart a new era of electric vehicle design and tech at Mercedes Benz. The current EQ lineup is luxurious (I test drove an EQS580 for a weekend). Comfortable interior, lots of tech- but the shape/exterior design and interior packaging did leave a lot to be desired. Hopefully the 2nd era will show a return to more familiar exterior design, large ranges (>400mi), fast charging times....and a return of some interior HVAC/infotainment tactile buttons!
An electric motor does not need to exploit a narrow rpm range for the best torque. However, at high rpm, overheating occurs. A two-speed automatic transmission, like in the Porsche Taycan, can solve this problem and make it quieter.
Hello! A two-speed transmission is a type of gearbox that offers two distinct gear ratios. It allows a vehicle to switch between two gears, typically one for lower speeds and one for higher speeds. This type of transmission can be found in various applications, including electric vehicles, bicycles, and some specialized machinery. In the context of electric vehicles, a two-speed transmission can help optimize performance and efficiency by providing a lower gear for better acceleration and a higher gear for improved top speed and energy efficiency. This can enhance the driving experience by balancing power and efficiency more effectively than a single-speed transmission.
Tell me why do the headlights look so similar to a Smart #1 ? This is unheard of for a "luxury car maker" to make such cheap and Chinese looking headlights resembling the new generation of Smart cars. What a disappointment.
Dear MB. I've been a huge fan of your cars since the 80s. But competition is getting fierce. This generation of your line up is the last chance maintain some level of presence in China. Do not mess it up by putting in cheap, thin materials, hard plastics, and LEDs. Don't race to the bottom. Let the Chinese cars compete amongst themselves. If you continue to cut costs in the interior (something that became especially noticeable starting with W212), you will lose.
I'm a big Mercedes fan.... But the new C300 I had delivered from new drove terrible. This was due to the soft suspension. Felt unsafe to drive. On the DE Autobahns it bounced around and very hard to control, even hitting the front bump stops under hard breaking. On the derestricted A7 kassel section on the bends it felt so dangerous to drive. Many issues with turbo oil return leakages. (LONG STORY) Today I got the car back with the correct suspension. It now handles ok. I can't believe Mercedes delivered a car with the incorrect suspension. Not to the spec, which I'm sure the German TÜV would like to know about. Even the Mercedes dealer said the part number didn't match their data on the screen. After lots of emails and heated phone calls they changed the suspension. Crazy situation. I would Mercedes to personally apologise to me for 14 months of total stress and 42k km of stress driving. I should work for Mercedes as a test driver.... I did.
We miss the old Mercedes quality. I guess the Swedes can't do this job. Where and why was the legendary CLS discontinued? And last G wagon with combust, really.
Wow… first feature is the headlight. Welcome to Audi? ;) Joking aside, looking forward to the BEV Plattform. And hope that you expand it quickly also to the higher classes to be competitive again.
Any word on whether the CLA has a frunk? That lack of frunks on Mercedes EV models is a deal killer for me. I'm a longtime loyal Mercedes owner and I can't get over that they've missed the value that a frunk offers for drivers. Also, I really wish they would put a charge port near the front of the car. Most Mercedes owners park in a garage at home. We pull into our garage, we don't back in. 80% of charging is done at home. It would seem logical to have a charge port in the front section of the car so the home charger can be placed in a center position in the garage for charging multiple cars.
Rear left is the most convenient location (in left hand drive markets) because of the quick access as you don't have to walk around the open door. Also, the Tesla Supercharging network is geared towards this location. Ideally you have two plugs (like Porsche), one for fast charging and one for home charging.
@@richyzig But what if you have two cars parked in your garage? Where do you put your charger? One car will have its charge port in the middle of the garage and the other will have its charge port next to a wall. The best solution would be to have a charge port near the front and one near the back as you mentioned. I mean they are plugs not gas filling tubes. And having multiple charge ports would allow someone to charge even if one of the other ports fails or is damaged in an accident.
@@MikeLangford If you have two cars in the garage, install a proper Level 2 charging station for faster charging and for the other car, use a regular plug (much slower charging). It's rare that both cars will need faster charging at the same time.
@@richyzig What I was getting at was the position of the charger(s). If the charge port is in the back quarter panel of the cars one of the cars is going need a cable running down the middle of the garage (between both cars) to charge.
Thank you for asking! As we specified in the video this circuit is in Immendingen, one hour south of Stuttgart (Germany). It is the test track for Mercedes-Benz!
The combustion engine will be a Volvo 2.0 Liter VEA engine produced in China. The cats will be the only thing on the engine that will be put together in Germany..... What has happend to the German part of mercedes....
Hey @MercedesBenz and Mercedes fans! I'm ready to make a bold move and permanently change my last name to 'Mercedes'-or any name of your choice! It would create a lasting connection and unique exposure for us both. Let’s make it official! #MercedesForLife
I own a Cla, I'm waiting for your electric car. I hope you offer a vehicle similar to the concept car. Mercedes owners have been very disappointed in recent years.
I like it but I will wait for the Shooting Brake version. That one should really have beautiful flow lines as well as more practicality. I would prefer a smaller glass roof that can be opened though. Maybe both variants would be available?
Ola, what have you done with Mercedes? During your reign, the quality and prestige have fallen, customers are starting to leave this Chinese design, which lacks the CHARISMA and MONUMENTALITY that Mercedes has always been. The quality of the interior is very low, especially the seats and the quality of the door trim and panel, about the power units that have become more complex and less reliable, and also Chinese engines....what next? You still have time to return to the roots, do not waste it, because the people who brought this brand to the top worked for decades, and you have been killing it for 5 years already...
The most appealing thing is it's not another SUV.

But the new C300 I had delivered from new drove terrible. This was due to the soft suspension. Felt unsafe to drive. On the DE Autobahns it bounced around and very hard to control, even hitting the front bump stops under hard breaking.
On the derestricted A7 kassel section on the bends it felt so dangerous to drive.
Many issues with turbo oil return leakages. (LONG STORY)
Today I got the car back with the correct suspension. It now handles ok.
I can't believe Mercedes delivered a car with the incorrect suspension. Not to the spec, which I'm sure the German TÜV would like to know about. Even the Mercedes dealer said the part number didn't match their data on the screen.
After lots of emails and heated phone calls they changed the suspension.
Crazy situation.
I would Mercedes to personally apologise to me for 14 months of total stress and 42k km of stress driving. I should work for Mercedes as a test driver.... I did.
We miss the old Mercedes quality. I guess the Swedes can't do this job. Where and why was the legendary CLS discontinued? And last G wagon with combust, really.
Nice, please Mercedes deliver what you promise. I want MB OS in every car.
The most aerodynamic car of Merc
I will order as soon as possible. Hope it will be available before Valentine's day
That would be a very nice date! ❤
W Mercedes 🔥🔥🔥
“I love the sound of a V8 “
Proceeds to put a 4 cylinder inside a C63
My c class 2013 200 with upgraded screen looks modern inside!! Much better than any A class in any year. Bring back the MB quality!
Wow… first feature is the headlight. Welcome to Audi? ;)
Joking aside, looking forward to the BEV Plattform. And hope that you expand it quickly also to the higher classes to be competitive again.
Will Mercedes still use Luminar LiDAR to enhance autonomous driving / ADAS capabilities?
More details will be available at the market release next year. Stay tuned!
Is there an estate version?
Any word on whether the CLA has a frunk? That lack of frunks on Mercedes EV models is a deal killer for me. I'm a longtime loyal Mercedes owner and I can't get over that they've missed the value that a frunk offers for drivers.
Also, I really wish they would put a charge port near the front of the car. Most Mercedes owners park in a garage at home. We pull into our garage, we don't back in. 80% of charging is done at home. It would seem logical to have a charge port in the front section of the car so the home charger can be placed in a center position in the garage for charging multiple cars.
Rear left is the most convenient location (in left hand drive markets) because of the quick access as you don't have to walk around the open door. Also, the Tesla Supercharging network is geared towards this location. Ideally you have two plugs (like Porsche), one for fast charging and one for home charging.
@@richyzig But what if you have two cars parked in your garage? Where do you put your charger? One car will have its charge port in the middle of the garage and the other will have its charge port next to a wall.
The best solution would be to have a charge port near the front and one near the back as you mentioned. I mean they are plugs not gas filling tubes. And having multiple charge ports would allow someone to charge even if one of the other ports fails or is damaged in an accident.
@@MikeLangford If you have two cars in the garage, install a proper Level 2 charging station for faster charging and for the other car, use a regular plug (much slower charging). It's rare that both cars will need faster charging at the same time.
@@richyzig What I was getting at was the position of the charger(s). If the charge port is in the back quarter panel of the cars one of the cars is going need a cable running down the middle of the garage (between both cars) to charge.

Imagine the repair bills for Mercedes hybrid systems
Avril 2025 la sortie ? Et octobre pour le gla/eqa ? 🙏👌👍👏
Stay tuned! Exciting things are definitely on the horizon. 🤩
"Since, one of the reasons why you buy Mercedes: it is car that lasts." 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Once the battery is pumped the car will go straight in bin.
WOW the glass roof from the concept car 😮😮😮
looking goooood
Great car. Please where is this race track? Or does it belong to Mercedes?
Test track owned by Mercedes
Thank you for asking! As we specified in the video this circuit is in Immendingen, one hour south of Stuttgart (Germany). It is the test track for Mercedes-Benz!
Thanks for the prompt response. Gosh!...its a site to behold. How I wish to have a go at it in a 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT63 S 4 Door Coupe.
You are welcome! And… yes, it would be so much fun to test such a super Star over there!
On my third shooting brake, waiting for my fourth!….
Congratulations, that’s a great pattern there! 😊 Will you keep us posted on the new arrival?
The combustion engine will be a Volvo 2.0 Liter VEA engine produced in China. The cats will be the only thing on the engine that will be put together in Germany..... What has happend to the German part of mercedes....
Dont Care about the Mild Hybrid. The eAts 2.0 Electric Engine is manufactured in Germany.
Hey @MercedesBenz and Mercedes fans! I'm ready to make a bold move and permanently change my last name to 'Mercedes'-or any name of your choice! It would create a lasting connection and unique exposure for us both. Let’s make it official! #MercedesForLife
This is just too cool
2025 brand new smart cla ?! 😂
Me :"Hey Mercedes"
MBOS: How can i help?
Me: I need a raise.
MBOS: ....... Buffering.......buferring...... Crickets
What, no NACS port? Maybe that's just the European model, I hope this vehicle isn't like VW interior with a lot of touch sensitive buttons.
waiting eagerly for this car to finally go electric!
I own a Cla, I'm waiting for your electric car. I hope you offer a vehicle similar to the concept car. Mercedes owners have been very disappointed in recent years.
If Shooting Brake available, yes please. If not, farewell MB. Best regards current CLA Shooting Brake driver.
Ich fahre Mercedes-Benz C Klassen, jedoch ist dieser Wagen auch interessant.
CLA Shooting Brake 👍
I hope a front trunk will be included in the EV version.
For me Mercedes-Benz is V8 and M113. And completely not this electric toys with iPads in every hole.
Na toll. Wieder ein Touchscreen auf Rädern. Nicht meins
I like it but I will wait for the Shooting Brake version. That one should really have beautiful flow lines as well as more practicality. I would prefer a smaller glass roof that can be opened though. Maybe both variants would be available?
Ola, what have you done with Mercedes? During your reign, the quality and prestige have fallen, customers are starting to leave this Chinese design, which lacks the CHARISMA and MONUMENTALITY that Mercedes has always been. The quality of the interior is very low, especially the seats and the quality of the door trim and panel, about the power units that have become more complex and less reliable, and also Chinese engines....what next? You still have time to return to the roots, do not waste it, because the people who brought this brand to the top worked for decades, and you have been killing it for 5 years already...
Mercedes number 1 in the world
When comes this car and also a GLA?
We can't give you an exact day of release, but be sure to keep an eye on our social media pages for all the latest news and updates!
@@MercedesBenz I wonder if you also see the negative comments and take them to the developers… MB is going down and we can all see it
Looks good! Please make it cheap, most europeans can't afford €50k EVs.
Then you should not look around at Mercedes, but at Dacia.
I'd say the opposite don't costcut. Make every Mercedes a real premium product like it should be.
ew dont need anymore cheap mercedes bringing the brand name down, just buy a used one
