JAKARTA - Launched in early September 2023, the Concept CLA Class became the first step for Mercedes-Benz to switch to electrification.

In order to prepare it, the manufacturer is preparing this model to be launched in the near future.

According to a Carscoops report, Thursday, January 11, this latest sedan caught on camera is being tested using a camouflage sticker on a snowy Swedish road. It can be seen from the design not much different from the first version of the concept introduced.

Overall, the company retains some of the elements in its concept versions, including the DRL lights patterned as the "Mercedes-Benz" logo on the front and back and is likely to come into its production version.

Moving to the interior, this car will get some changes when compared to the concept. The interior features a dashboard that has air ventilation between the screen and the console, making it look more conventional. It is likely that the screen inside extends along the dashboard.

It is likely that the feature in it consists of an MBUX infotainment system equipped with an improved Artificial Intelligent (AI) system, with a visual appearance of the dashboard in the middle also presented to this model.

Carrying the Mercedes Modular Architecture (MMA) platform compatible with combustion engines (ICE) and electricity (EV), this has the edge of 800V technology that can charge up to 250 kW.

Thus, cars that have the platform can charge for 15 minutes to cover a distance of up to 400 km. Overall, this latest CLA has a single electric motor with a power of 235 dk and has a distance of 750 km.
