The Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 E Coupé and Shooting Brake arrive at dealerships with a price higher than diesel models

Coupé or Shooting Brake, the 5-door body variants or as a high-capacity station wagon intended for cargo space, the Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 E It is part of the EQ Power model catalogue of the star brand and there are already almost twenty of them.

And this inclusion comes from its adaptation as a hybrid and plug-in car. Thus, in this way, the Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 E PHEV, both compact sedan and station wagon, add new options, more efficient in terms of the use of fossil fuels and with ZERO label DGT.

In terms of fuel consumption, the thermal engine chosen to power these two versions is the 1.3-litre engine that delivers 160 hp linked to an 8G-DCT dual-clutch automatic gearbox, together with another electric engine that generates 75 kW, equivalent to another 102 hp, in total, 218 HP available when both mechanics add up their potential and a combined torque of 450 Nm.

Regarding the electric propulsion, it can travel up to 140 kilometers per hour using only electric propulsion, energy that comes from a battery that has a capacity of 15,6 kWh, which allows homologate an autonomy in 100% electric mode in the Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 E coupé between 60 and 69 km and from 58 to 68 in the Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 E Shooting Brake.

With all this, the Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 E Coupé is approved for a combined fuel consumption of 1,5-1,4 liters of gasoline per hundred kilometers traveled and sets its combined carbon dioxide emissions at 35-31 grams per kilometer traveled, while the Shooting Brake variant sets the combined fuel consumption at 1,6-1,4 l/100 km and combined CO2 emissions of 37-33 g/km.

El electric accumulator recharging time plugged into an alternating current outlet with up to 7,4 kW of power, starting from 10 and reaching 100% of its storage capacity is 100 hour and 1 minutes, which would be reduced to 45 minutes but with a maximum of 25% if done in a 80 kW station.

This battery is housed in the floor of the vehicle, offering greater stability but significantly reducing the trunk space load, something very important to take into account, especially for those considering the option with the largest load volume, that of the Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 E Shooting Brake, which has a capacity of 440 litres compared to the 505 litres of the variants that do not use electrification. Regarding the Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 E Coupé, storage space is also lost, going from 460 to 390 litres available.

El Price of the Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 Eparte from 44.850 euros for the Coupé bodywork and from 46.000 the same for the Shooting Brake variant, which represents a difference of 2.400 euros in increase with respect to the variants with comparable mechanical configuration (diesel and 190 hp), with the first units available during this month of August.
