Introducing the all-new Mercedes-Benz CLA Shooting Brake with EQ Technology
London, July 15, 2025 , (Oilandgaspress) –––The all-new CLA Shooting Brake is the first electric Mercedes‑Benz available as an estate. It combines the elegance, sportiness and intelligence of the CLA with plenty of space for passengers and luggage as well as a high degree of interior versatility. The boot has a volume of 455 to 1,290 litres. The illuminated frunk under the front bonnet holds a further 101 litres.
The towing capacity is up to 1,800 kilograms (braked). A WLTP range of up to 761 kilometres1 (CLA 250+ Shooting Brake with EQ Technology: combined energy consumption: 12.7-15.2 kWh/100 km | combined CO2 emissions: 0 g/km | CO2 class: A)[1] enables high everyday and travel suitability. Recharging for a further 310 kilometres2 (WLTP) is completed in 10 minutes. The European market launch of the CLA Shooting Brake with EQ Technology will start in March 2026. With the CLA Shooting Brake, Mercedes‑Benz is taking its conceptual invention of combining the sporty proportions of a four-door coupé with more cargo space and a large tailgate into the electric age. This concept celebrated its debut in 2012 with the CLS Shooting Brake. In 2015, Mercedes‑Benz successfully established itself in the compact segment with the first CLA Shooting Brake.
The new CLA Shooting Brake is the second vehicle to function entirely via the Mercedes‑Benz Operating System (MB.OS). It is equipped with a supercomputer that is connected to the Mercedes‑Benz Intelligent Cloud. Two models will initially be launched. The CLA 250+ Shooting Brake with EQ Technology (combined energy consumption: 12.7-15.2 kWh/100 km | combined CO2 emissions: 0 g/km | CO2 class: A)[4] has an output of 200 kW and a range of up to 761 kilometres according to WLTP.[5] The 260-kW CLA 350 4MATIC Shooting Brake with EQ Technology (combined energy consumption: 13.2-15.7 kWh/100 km | combined CO2 emissions: 0 g/km | CO2 class: A)6 is positioned at the top end of the model range as a performance version with two motors and all-wheel drive. It has a range of up to 730 kilometres according to WLTP.7
The newly developed electric drive system with a permanently excited synchronous machine (PSM) and two-speed gearbox on the rear axle is designed for dynamic driving performance with high efficiency. First gear enables excellent acceleration right from the start. The CLA 250+ Shooting Brake sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.8 seconds. Second gear is designed for power delivery at high speeds.
fully electric or with high-tech 48-volt hybrid drive
Fully electric models play a key role in the implementation of Mercedes‑Benz’s sustainable business strategy. However, the wishes and mobility needs of customers in different regions of the world determine the pace of this transformation. The all-new CLA Shooting Brake will also be available early next year as a hybrid with 48-volt technology and an electric motor integrated into the transmission.
The electric motor, inverter and eight-speed dual-clutch transmission (8F-eDCT) form a highly integrated unit. The electric motor provides intelligent support across the entire speed range. At inner-city speeds and when less than 20 kW is required, the hybrid models can be driven purely electrically. Electric coasting is possible up to a speed of around 100 km/h. A special feature is that the engine can recuperate in all eight gears, i.e. recover up to 25 kW of energy.
