CLA 250+ Electric anchors the 2026 launch plan

Local assembly and market launch timeline
Local assembly of the CLA 250+ Electric began at Mercedes-Benz’s Thailand manufacturing facility in November, supporting the company’s localization strategy and supply readiness.
The model is scheduled for its official market launch, including the announcement of pricing, at the Motor Show 2026 in March. Deliveries are planned to commence from May 2026 onward, aligning production ramp-up with customer demand.
Customer response has been encouraging, with bookings already reaching 250 units ahead of the formal launch, indicating steady interest in the brand’s electric offerings.
Sales performance and outlook for 2026
In terms of market performance, Mercedes-Benz recorded 8,378 vehicle sales in Thailand in 2025, marking a year-on-year decline of approximately 800 units within a premium market estimated at around 32,000 units.
