Mercedes-Benz CLA Bookings Open, Deliveries from April 2026

Mercedes-Benz India has officially opened bookings for the all-new Mercedes-Benz CLA Electric.

Prospective buyers can now reserve their vehicle with a booking amount of ₹1.5 lakh, with the formal price announcement and launch scheduled for mid-April 2026.

Initially, the new-generation Mercedes-Benz CLA EV was launched only in the CLA 250+ Long Range version. However, the company has now rolled out a new base trim in response to customer feedback.

With the addition of the CLA 200 variant, Mercedes-Benz aims to broaden the appeal of its new electric sedan as interest in premium EVs continues to grow in India.

Deliveries

Deliveries for the CLA 250+ Long Range are expected to begin by the end of April 2026, while the CLA 200 Standard Range will start reaching customers from June 2026.

Battery Pack & Range

The new CLA EV is built on the new 800-volt electrical architecture. It is packed with a 85kWh battery pack.

When it comes to range, the CLA 250+ Long Range boasts an impressive 792 km, while the CLA 200 Standard Range offers a respectable 542 km on a single charge. This electric sedan is designed with an 800-volt architecture, which allows for rapid charging.

With a 240 kW DC fast charger, the CLA 250+ can gain about 400 km of range in just 20 minutes, and the CLA 200 is expected to add around 320 km in the same timeframe.

Mercedes-Benz Wall Box Charger

Customers can choose to install a Mercedes-Benz Wall Box charger right at home, which can provide charging power of up to 22 kW. The total cost for the unit, including installation by Mercedes-Benz franchise partners, is set at Rs. 50,000. Plus, those who pre-book the CLA BEV will get the wall box charger for free!

Dimensions

Dimensionally, the new Mercedes-Benz CLA EV is 4723mm long, 1855mm wide and 1468mm tall, and has a wheelbase of 2790mm. The sedan has a boot space of 405-litres and a front frunk of 101-litres of capacity.

Key features

On the feature front, the CLA EV includes wireless phone charging, six 100W USB-C fast charging ports, panoramic sunroof, dual-zone climate control, 16 speaker Burmester sound system, 360 degree surround view camera and LEVEL-2 ADAS tech.

Safety Features

The CLA Electric really prioritizes safety, offering a solid array of features. You’ll find standard elements like seven airbags, Brake Assist, ISOFIX mounts, Electronic Stability Control, and Hill Hold Control.

Additionally, it includes Level 2 ADAS, making it one of the most comprehensive driver assistance packages we’ve seen in a Mercedes in this category.

Uniform Equipment Levels Confirmed for CLA 200 and 250+

Mercedes-Benz India says the equipment level of both the CLA 250+ Long Range and CLA 200 Standard Range will remain the same. This is in line with the automaker’s commitment to a more feature-packed product across variants.

Verdict

If you’ve been on the lookout for a luxury electric vehicle that has the sleek look of a concept car, drives like a Mercedes, and doesn’t need a charging break every few hours, then the CLA 250+ is definitely the one to consider.

On the other hand, if you’re after the luxury brand and the latest tech without the need for long-distance travel on a single charge, the CLA 200 is probably the most practical luxury EV choice in India today.

Caronphone Says…

Skip the Standard Range. The CLA 250+ Long Range is the one to get—the extra ₹4 lakh for the massive range jump and faster charging is the best investment you can make.
