The company presented a near-production concept of its CLA sedan rated to go more than 750 kilometers on a single charge, beating Tesla’s refreshed Model 3. The car is Mercedes’s first based on its upcoming EV underpinnings, with a battery system that can add 400 kilometers of range in just 15 minutes of charging.
Mercedes is under pressure to bolster its lineup after disappointing sales in China forced the company to cut prices on some of its electric models. The CLA concept lacks the bowed roof line of the brand’s EQS and EQE sedans. While their low-slung roof makes them more aerodynamic, increasing their range, the design also reduces headroom in the rear-seating compartment. That’s a drawback in the Chinese market, where wealthy customers often prefer to be chauffeured.
