Mercedes has a large lineup of pure electric models, but none of its bespoke EVs are particularly easy on the eye. That’s all about to change with the introduction of the 2025 Mercedes CLA EV, spotted here quietly undergoing cold-weather testing near the Arctic Circle. Its design will stay true to the Concept CLA-Class design study that previewed it, which does away with the awkward proportions of Mercedes’s current flavor of electric sedans.
This platform will be used for vehicles bigger than the CLA, including an all-electric C-Class equivalent model that should debut in the next few years. Mercedes will offer both single- and dual-motor versions of the CLA, and the top performance models will wear AMG badges and feature a more aggressive exterior.
