"As Clint Simone writes at Edmunds, the company's "real-world Edmunds EV Range Test" revealed that the 2026 Mercedes CLA 250+ could travel 434 miles on a single charge. That's an impressive number all by itself; Simone notes that this is "the least expensive car we've ever seen cross the 400-mile threshold." The figure of 434 miles is also significantly greater than the official range, which the EPA estimated to be 374 miles."
"It's worth pointing out that this very impressive figure was achieved by the rear-wheel-drive CLA 250+, which has a longer range than its slightly more expensive all-wheel-drive sibling, the CLA 350 4MATIC. Edmunds's research also gave the CLA 250+ high marks for its charging speed, ranking it second place among all EVs they've tested. At the end of November, Mercedes-Benz confirmed some pricing details related to the CLA: the CLA 250+ will start at $47,250, while the CLA 350 4MATIC starts at $49,800."
"The 2026 CLA class has also been getting high marks for its overall package, with Car and Driver's review stating that it "manages to uphold the brand's prestige at a price point that's low - at least for a Merc." An electric Mercedes might not be the first vehicle that comes to mind for a long road trip, but this data suggests there's a good case to be made for it in exactly that capacity."
A real-world EV range test recorded the 2026 Mercedes‑Benz CLA 250+ traveling 434 miles on a single charge, exceeding the EPA estimate of 374 miles. The rear‑wheel‑drive CLA 250+ delivers a longer range than the all‑wheel‑drive CLA 350 4MATIC and achieved near-top charging performance, ranking second among tested EVs. Pricing starts at $47,250 for the CLA 250+ and $49,800 for the CLA 350 4MATIC. Strong range, competitive charging speed, and relatively accessible pricing position the electric CLA as a practical option for longer road trips.
