The all-new CLA Shooting Brake is the first electric Mercedes‑Benz available as an estate. It combines the elegance, sportiness and intelligence of the CLA with plenty of space for passengers and luggage as well as a high degree of interior versatility. Whether it’s a weekly shopping trip, a holiday with the whole family or a weekend trip with friends, it offers space for everything you need. The boot has a volume of 455 to 1,290 litres. The illuminated frunk under the front bonnet holds a further 101 litres. Surfboards or bicycles fit easily on the roof thanks to the standard roof rails. Their load capacity is 75 kilograms. And a jet ski or two motorcycles can be easily transported on a trailer. The towing capacity is up to 1,800 kilograms (braked).
A WLTP range of up to 761 kilometres1 (CLA 250+ Shooting Brake with EQ Technology: combined energy consumption: 12.7-15.2 kWh/100 km | combined CO2 emissions: 0 g/km | CO2 class: A)2 enables high everyday and travel suitability. Recharging for a further 310 kilometres3 (WLTP) is completed in 10 minutes. The European market launch of the CLA Shooting Brake with EQ Technology will start in March 2026.
With the CLA Shooting Brake, Mercedes‑Benz is taking its conceptual invention of combining the sporty proportions of a four-door coupé with more cargo space and a large tailgate into the electric age. This concept celebrated its debut in 2012 with the CLS Shooting Brake. In 2015, Mercedes‑Benz successfully established itself in the compact segment with the first CLA Shooting Brake.
The longer roof with a roofline that slopes gently towards the rear provides more headroom in the second row of seats than in the CLA (+26 millimetres). Access to the rear is also even more comfortable thanks to the larger door cut-outs. Compared to its predecessor, the all-new CLA Shooting Brake offers more headroom in each of the five seats thanks to a higher roofline. The increase for rear passengers is seven millimetres. In the front row of seats, the headroom increase is 14 millimetres, while legroom has increased by 11 millimetres. The all-new CLA Shooting Brake is 35 millimetres longer (4,723 millimetres) and 27 millimetres higher (1,469 millimetres) than the predecessor model. The wheelbase has increased by 61 millimetres to 2,790 millimetres.
The seats can be folded down in a 40:20:40 ratio as standard. This increases the boot volume to up to 1,290 litres. Together with the 101-litre frunk under the bonnet, the all-new CLA Shooting Brake offers more load volume than its predecessor. The electric EASY‑PACK tailgate comes as standard for convenient loading and unloading. KEYLESS‑GO with HANDS‑FREE ACCESS is also available as an option. The elegantly designed roof rails are also part of the standard equipment, and a trailer hitch is available on request. The CLA Shooting Brake can tow up to 1,500 kilograms with rear-wheel drive and up to 1,800 kilograms with all-wheel drive – a considerable towing capacity for an electric vehicle in this segment.
Fully electric models play a key role in the implementation of Mercedes‑Benz’s sustainable business strategy. However, the wishes and mobility needs of customers in different regions of the world determine the pace of this transformation. The all-new CLA Shooting Brake will also be available early next year as a hybrid with 48-volt technology and an electric motor integrated into the transmission.
The electric motor, inverter and eight-speed dual-clutch transmission (8F-eDCT) form a highly integrated unit. The electric motor provides intelligent support across the entire speed range. At inner-city speeds and when less than 20 kW is required, the hybrid models can be driven purely electrically. Electric coasting is possible up to a speed of around 100 km/h. A special feature is that the engine can recuperate in all eight gears, i.e. recover up to 25 kW of energy.
