- The model features 800V architecture enabling rapid charging and access to a large public charging network.
The Mercedes-Benz CLA BEV has been officially announced for the Indian market, introducing a new generation electric sedan with two distinct variants at launch. Mercedes-Benz India confirmed that the model will arrive as the CLA 200 ‘Standard Range’ priced at INR 5.5 million and the CLA 250+ ‘Long Range’ priced at INR 5.9 million. Final pricing will remain subject to foreign exchange adjustments at the official market launch scheduled for mid-April 2026. Bookings for the vehicle opened on March 10.
Variant Options and Driving Range
The electric sedan will be available in two range configurations designed to meet different driving requirements. The CLA 250+ ‘Long Range’ equipped with the AMG Line delivers a claimed driving range of 792 km based on the WLTP testing cycle. Meanwhile, the CLA 200 ‘Standard Range’ featuring the Progressive Line provides a WLTP range of 542 km.
Both models are built on an advanced 800-volt electrical architecture, which supports rapid charging and improved energy efficiency. The higher-range version can add up to 400 km of driving range in approximately 20 minutes when connected to a 240 kW DC fast charger. The standard-range model can recover around 320 km of range in the same time under similar charging conditions.
Charging Ecosystem and Smart Navigation
Owners will have access to the MB.CHARGE public charging ecosystem, which includes more than 9,000 charging points across the country. This infrastructure integration enables easier access to public fast charging while traveling long distances.
MBUX Intelligent Charging Assistance
The vehicle’s MBUX Virtual Assistant plays a central role in route and energy planning. The system can intelligently identify charging stations along a journey and suggest optimized charging stops, helping drivers maintain efficiency and reduce range anxiety.
Home Charging and Delivery Timeline
In addition to public infrastructure access, buyers will be able to install a 22 kW Mercedes-Benz wall box charger at home. The unit is priced at INR 50,000 and supports faster overnight charging compared with standard residential solutions. Customers who pre-book the vehicle will receive the wall box charger as a complimentary offering.
Delivery schedules vary by variant. The CLA 250+ ‘Long Range’ is expected to reach customers by the end of April 2026, while deliveries of the CLA 200 ‘Standard Range’ will begin from June 2026, expanding the brand’s electric vehicle lineup in the premium passenger car segment in India.
