New all-electric CLA reduces carbon footprint by 40% compared to its predecessor

 

The CLA marks the beginning of a new generation of innovative electric vehicles from Mercedes-Benz. The all-electric CLA achieves a carbon footprint that is 40% smaller than its non-electriFied predecessor. Through additional carbon-reduction measures in the supply chain and during battery charging, overall savings can reach up to two-thirds.

About 40% of the aluminum used is produced in electrolysis plants powered by renewable energy, saving a total of approximately 400 kg of CO2 per vehicle for the all-electric CLA. Various carbon reduction measures in the high-voltage cells also reduce the carbon footprint of the new battery generation by about 30% per cell compared to the preceding battery. Alongside net carbon-neutral6 cell production, renewable energy is also used to produce the cathode, anode, and cell housing materials.

As well as the interior materials, the thermoplastics in the new CLA feature four times more secondary materials across the vehicle as a whole compared to its predecessor. Half of the secondary material comes from post-consumer recyclate. For example, the jack mounts are made entirely from recycled car bumpers, and the frunk well has a recyclate content of around 70%.

Emotional expression of athletic power

The new CLA is designed for the electric and digital age. As the First model of an entirely new vehicle family, it embodies the next evolutionary step in the Mercedes-Benz design philosophy of Sensual Purity.

With its fastback silhouette, the CLA stands for outstanding aerodynamics and efFiciency. Its long 2,790-millimeter wheelbase, short overhangs, and distinctive GT-inspired rear are an emotional expression of athletic power. The car’s sporty proportions are enhanced thanks to a low greenhouse, long bonnet with power domes and large wheels up to 19 inches. The car’s muscular and athletic shoulders start at the front wheel arches and extend to the sculptural rear, while its Flared wheel arches and wide track (front/rear: 1,605/1,574 millimeters) reinforce its dynamic impression.

The clear language design emphasizes sculpted surfaces with reduced lines and precise joints. The striking character lines on the Flank create an interesting interplay of light and shade when viewed side-on. The powerful design conveys sporty conFidence and modernity, giving the CLA a visual lightness. The meticulous attention to detail underscores the high quality and exclusivity of the all-new CLA.

More space at every seat and for luggage – the frunk returns after 90 years

At 4,723 millimeters, the new CLA is about four centimeters longer than its predecessor. Its wheelbase has increased by over six centimeters to 2,790 millimeters. The driver and front passenger beneFit from an extra 11 millimeters of legroom while passengers in both seat rows have more headroom: an increase of 16 and 28 millimeters (front/rear). This is due to the higher rooFline and the standard-Fit panoramic roof, which lets in plenty of light and creates an enhanced sense of freedom.

The all-electric CLA is also the First modern Mercedes-Benz to feature a front trunk. It offers 101 liters of additional load space – ideal for a luggage trolly, a crate of 0.33-liter bottles, or a charging cable. This makes it bigger and more useful, surpassing even the storage capacity of the Mercedes-Benz 130 (W 23) from the 1920, the brand’s First vehicle with a frunk. At the rear, the all-electric CLA offers a luggage compartment with a volume of 405 liters.

6 Net carbon-neutral means that carbon emissions that are not avoided or reduced at Mercedes-Benz are compensated for by certiNied compensation offsetting projects.

The highlight of the interior is the floating MBUX Superscreen, which extends across the entire interior width. Behind a large glass surface are the 26-centimeter (10.25-inch) driver display, 35.6-centimeter (14-inch) central display, and additional 35.6-centimeter (14-inch) display for the front passenger, all with LCD technology. Depending on the equipment, a backlit version is also available.

The doors offer a wow effect with their large center panels, which likewise appear to float. This element makes the concave underlying structure recede into the background. Open storage compartments are integrated into the door panels. The pull handle in classic tubular design appears reduced, powerful and sporty. The switch for electric seat adjustment is also completely redesigned. Its body has a circular form and a high-quality galvanized surface finish.

The third highlight in the interior is the center console. Appearing to Float in mid-air, its high position enhances the sporty feel. Extending from the armrest beneath the Superscreen, it creates a seamless, Flowing connection between the seats and the dashboard. Like in higher vehicle classes, the console is split into two levels: The upper section offers an expansive, three-dimensional trim surface, available in a wide range of decorative Finishes. Integrated into this trim element are dual cup holders and an optional wireless smartphone charging cradle for smartphones.

Seats made from recycled materials in a luxurious layer design

Two types of seats are available in the new CLA. The standard-fit comfort seat is generously sized and invitingly designed. In the shoulder area, it features the layer design familiar from higher vehicle classes. The sports seat also follows this design, where the layer design connects the seat surface and side bolsters into a single unit. The layer tapers upwards into the backrest and adopts the slim design of the headrest, which has an integrated look. It, too, appears to float and is height adjustable.

Both seats incorporate secondary materials throughout their construction – from the seat cover and seat foam to the substructure and metal components. Mercedes-Benz offers five upholstery options for the comfort seat, including black man-made leather, with backing fabric made from recycled PET bottles. These bottles are regranulated, spun into yarn, and finally processed into textile. Sustainably produced and processed leather is also available. Every step of its production is considered – from cattle farming to the tanning process. The leather is chrome-free, tanned with mineral, synthetic or vegetable tanning agents such as coffee bean husks, chestnuts or extracts from other renewable raw materials.

The microfiber fleece MICROCUT is made from 100-percent recycled material. First, PET bottles are processed into regranulated yarns. Using a sophisticated microfiber process, these are used to create a high-quality and durable fleece that has the look and feel of suede. This material is used in selected AMG Line upholstery, on the seats as well as the center panels and door armrests. The Floor covering is also made from secondary material – Econyl yarn produced from 100-percent recycled material.

Modern luxury reinterpreted: exclusive colors and trim elements with innovative surfaces

A balanced variety of colors and materials underscore the luxurious overall experience in the interior of the all-new CLA. The attractive and extensive range of exterior paints, as well as interior colors and materials, enables customers to express their individual style through a broad palette of configurations.

• Special interior accents: Leather in beech brown, available in the standard Progressive Line as well as the AMG Line
• The AMG Line offers microFiber and ARTICO upholstery with a technical-looking pearl effect in black/clean white The Color & Trim specialists have reversed the usual color distribution on the seat, with the stronger color now adorning the shoulder area. A textile strip in the center of the seat and piping on the outer sides showcase the highest craftsmanship.
• The AMG Line also offers sporty-looking leather upholstery in black with green

The selection of large, high-quality trim elements is equally varied, drawing inspiration from offerings from higher vehicle segments. In addition to surfaces made of open-pore wood, brushed aluminum and anodized-look coatings, customers can also choose a trim element made from paper, which is unique in the auto industry. Made of cellulose and hemp fibers, the high-quality paper trim element is very robust and offers a completely new look.

Individual sound experience: optional Dolby Atmos and standard holistic “SoundExperience” A Burmester® 3D Surround Sound System is available as an option. With Dolby Atmos, it enables an unparalleled multidimensional music experience with 16 speakers and an 850-watt amplifier. For the first time, silver chrome covers the tweeters and midrange speakers further enhance the interior’s visual appeal.

Mercedes-Benz also offers a holistic “SoundExperience” where various sound worlds allow for an individual acoustic setup. It can now be conveniently selected as an app from the app grid, with its range including “Silver Waves”, “Vivid Flux”, “Serene Breeze”, and “Roaring Pulse” (AMG Line) as well as two new sound worlds:

• “Fractal Fusion” embodies a futuristic lifestyle. It combines nostalgic sounds of 80s arcade games and synthwave music with modern, vibrant synth textures.
• “Granular Fuzz” embodies an expressive, organic style that blends raw simplicity with striking intensity. It fuses powerful guitar tones with cinematic orchestral elements and post-apocalyptic electronic effects.

The “SoundExperience” feature extends the emotional dimension of the CLA beyond driving, allowing it to be enjoyed even while stationary: it changes startup, shutdown and welcome sounds in the interior, while locking and unlocking are accompanied by an event sound and the aura sound carpet. There is also a charging plug sound that confirms the correct connection and disconnection of the vehicle to the charging station. If the vehicle is ready to start, the driver can use the accelerator padel to generate simulated “revs” while stationary.

“Sound Experiences” is available across all models in the new vehicle family, regardless of performance level or audio system. The AVAS (Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System) pedestrian warning sound can be set at one of two levels: discreet or full of character. Instead of a conventional warning beep when reversing, the CLA uses an optimized driving sound, blending safety with a refined, unmistakable acoustic identity.
