The Electric Wagon Everyone’s Talking About
Believe it or not, the Mercedes-Benz CLA shooting brake with EQ technology isn’t just the title of a fancy startup—it’s a bona fide vehicle and potentially the most affordable electric wagon from the prestigious German automaker. Based on the architecture shared with the CLA sedan, this car promises a lot more than its predecessor, especially when it comes to range and power. Buckle up; this is going to be a ride!
Range: Because Who Likes Charging All The Time?
Let’s talk numbers that matter. Starting with the rear-wheel drive CLA 250 shooting brake, you’re looking at a WLTP-rated range of 473 miles (761 kilometers). Even the dual-motor CLA 300 shooting brake, while slightly less glorious, offers a respectable 453 miles (730 km). That’s enough juice for a cross-country trip or, you know, a weekend jaunt to the grocery store. And with its 800-volt architecture, a mere 10-minute charging session can yield 186 miles (300 km) of range—perfect for those ‘I’m running late’ moments.
Space, Power, and the Stars
Dimensionally, this electric wagon gets a size upgrade, but hold your horses—its trunk is a smidgen smaller. Coming in at 16 cubic feet (455 liters), it’s compact yet efficient. Now, the inside houses all the bells and whistles of the sedan, including a flashy three-screen MBUX infotainment setup that can compete with your home theater system. Plus, there’s a panoramic roof that not only offers heat-insulating magic but also lights up with 158 stars—seriously! Your offerings of stargazing just got a high-end makeover.
The electric CLA shooting brake arrives in Europe come March 2026, though it seems our friends across the ocean may have to wait a bit longer for this stunning wagon to grace their streets. Until then, keep dreaming, electrifying life, and waiting for some sweet EV action!
