Mercedes-Benz is readying its next CLA for production in both complete BEV and hybrid guises. Adopting innovation from its Vision EQXX, Mercedes is expecting a WLTP variety of 495 miles from the 85kWh battery design, to contend versus competitors like the BYD Seal, Tesla Design 3 and i4. Will this be the car to finally move Mercedes to the top of the electrical vehicle wish-list? Join Nicola as she finds out.

    OK. The “Hey Mercedes” has to be turned into a meme 🤣

    Far too many screens. It’s like sitting in a cinema. Don’t know how it’s legal. No wonder the state of driving is crap with these types of cars on the road.

      Agree with that. The passenger screen is redundant. People have phones for that.

      Appreciate the fact that there is a driver dashboard though.

      These cars with all the extra safety features are never the problem on the road. It’s drunk drivers or old driver who got their license for free.

      Then she tries to tap the icon for voice control and it doesn’t respond, like three times in a row.

      I thought this car looked awesome… Until she got inside and started going on and on about the screens and cameras. How depressing.

      @@mrgrumpy771 Great mission TBH, but bringing an ax to the job is causing huge pain. But, Musk is kind of put into the same sphere or load of horse dun depending on your view, as Trump for his absolute ridiculous geopolitics dealings with allies, and the crazy tariffs. Plus Musk didn’t add any friends with that Nazi or fascist Roman salute, and saying “my heart goes out to you. it is thanks to you that the future of civilization is assured” during Trump’s inauguration speech. WTH.

    You lost me at “Hey, Mercedes…” I do not want to talk to my car, ever. I can press a physical button or turn a dial quicker than playing call and response with a faulty AI system. Just because you can do something (voice control) doesn’t mean you should.

    So when you give the dash a shake does it feel like its going to drop off because its attached with bluetak?
    Mercedes build quality internally has been pretty bad for a while considering the $$. Hopefully it has been addressed.

    If they can extract 500km of range with a 85kWh battery capacity it’s really impressive

      Seems you never followed the EQXX Prototyp …1200km Range, 8kwh/100km…if only a Part of this was transfered it is easily achieved.
      The CLA already has achieved the 24h Worldrecord with 37000km…with efficiency.
