The Mercedes-Benz Concept CLA-Class will offer two batteries, including a new silicon-oxide-anode design that promises better range and energy density.
The Concept CLA-Class is the first vehicle to use the brand's new Mercedes Modular Architecture platform that has been developed first for EVs but will also support internal combustion engines, likely in hybrid configurations.
Mercedes claims the new battery will provide up to 466 miles of range on the generous WLTP cycle with an efficiency of 5.2 miles per kw/hr. That should still be 350 or more miles on the EPA cycle. Mercedes has not announced the sizes of the two batteries. The overall profile is traditional CLA, though with cleaner side surfacing and wider rear haunches to accommodate wider rear tires as well as a wider rear track. The wheels span 21 inches and the tires measure 255/35 up front and 285/30 in the rear.Inside, the Concept CLA features the Mercedes Superscreen that extends the width of the dash and incorporates analog and digital controls for the climate system via rings embedded in the glass at each end of the dash.
