Versatile and highly efficient: The all-new CLA Shooting Brake high-tech hybrid is now available to order

• European sales launch for the combustion‑engine models featuring 48‑volt technology
• Prices in Germany start at 47,611.90 euros^[1]
• High-tech Hybrid models can drive purely electrically, coast, and recuperate energy
• New four‑cylinder engine, new electrified eight‑speed dual‑clutch transmission with integrated e‑motor, and new lithium‑ion battery with an energy capacity of 1.3 kWh

The new Mercedes‑Benz CLA Shooting Brake has everything needed to make everyday life even more pleasant for customers. A spacious and exceptionally comfortable interior. A well‑equipped luggage compartment with an EASY‑PACK tailgate, four lashing eyes, a side net, a 12-volt socket and a flexible volume ranging from 455 to 1,295 litres. The driving experience, powered by the Mercedes‑Benz Operating System (MB.OS) and the new Mercedes‑Benz User Experience (MBUX) with artificial intelligence from Microsoft and Google, is more intelligent, intuitive and personalised than in any other vehicle in this segment. MB.OS enables over‑the‑air updates for the entire vehicle software as well as Digital Extras^[2] offering a wide range of functions for entertainment, comfort, safety and navigation. This keeps the CLA Shooting Brake up to date and attractive for years to come – much like a smartphone that can be regularly enhanced with new apps and features.

Following the successful market launch of the electric CLA Shooting Brake, the models with powerful and highly efficient high-tech hybrid drivetrains are now being introduced, available in three output levels (100 kW/136 hp, 120 kW/163 hp, 140 kW/190 hp) and, depending on the variant, with front‑wheel or all‑wheel drive. Prices in Germany start at 47,611.90 euros.¹ Attractive leasing and financing options are also available, such as a monthly leasing rate from 305 euros^[3] for private customers.

In the city, drive purely electrically; on country roads, coast; and recuperate in every gear

The completely newly developed, electrified 1.5‑litre four‑cylinder turbo engine is designed for both performance and efficiency. The electric motor supplements the combustion engine with an additional boost of 22 kW^[4]. Together with its components, it is directly integrated into the new electrified eight‑speed dual‑clutch transmission (8F‑eDCT). This makes the entire system efficient and space‑saving. A new 48‑volt battery with lithium‑ion technology and an energy capacity of up to 1.3 kWh supplies the electric motor.

At typical inner‑city speeds and with the gentle driving style common there,^[5] the hybrid models can run purely on electric power. Efficient electric coasting with a decoupled drivetrain is possible at speeds of up to around 100 km/h. A particular highlight: the electric motor can recuperate in all eight gears, recovering up to 25 kW of energy.

Model range and pricing for the CLA Shooting Brake with high-tech hybrid drive:

The new CLA Shooting Brake models in Europe come as standard with extensive safety features and the DISTRONIC Distance Assist. Additional comfort assistance systems are bundled by Mercedes-Benz under the name MB.DRIVE. MB.DRIVE ASSIST will be optionally available in Europe from market launch. It complements Distance Assist DISTRONIC with Steering Assist, making it a state-of-the-art SAE Level 2 driving assistance system. The Lane Change Assist, which is also included in MB.DRIVE ASSIST, facilitates lane changes with a simple click of the indicator lever. The safety assistance systems^[9] can prevent a multitude of accidents.
