The 2025 Mercedes-Benz CLA U.S. specs are finally revealed, and they’re packed with bold design, future-ready tech, and clever efficiency. This all-new model doesn’t just look stunning, it’s built to think, adapt, and drive like never before. Mercedes-Benz calls it the most intelligent CLA ever, and once you see what’s under the skin, it’s easy to understand why.
Electric Mobility Redefined: CLA 250+ and CLA 350 4MATIC
The U.S. lineup includes two all-electric models at launch: the CLA 250+ and the CLA 350 4MATIC. These aren’t just about range, they’re about rethinking what compact sedans can do. With 268 hp in the CLA 250+ and 349 hp in the CLA 350 4MATIC, both models deliver instant torque and smooth power.
Acceleration is a major highlight. The CLA 350 4MATIC sprints from 0 to 60 mph in a brisk 4.8 seconds. Meanwhile, the CLA 250+ clocks in at 6.6 seconds. Both top out at 130 mph, electronically limited. Each model uses a two-speed transmission for excellent low-speed punch and high-speed cruising efficiency.
800-Volt Architecture and Lightning-Fast Charging
Thanks to the 800-volt electrical system, the CLA charges with incredible speed. DC fast charging up to 320 kW allows the CLA 250+ to gain up to 325 km of range in just 10 minutes. That’s real-world practicality with premium performance.
This generation also introduces a multi-source heat pump system, pulling “free” heat from the battery, drivetrain, and air to reduce energy waste and improve comfort, especially during cold weather.
The New MB.OS and AI-Powered MBUX Superscreen
What sets the new CLA apart isn’t just power, it’s the mind behind it. The 2025 CLA runs entirely on the new MB.OS (Mercedes-Benz Operating System). It offers over-the-air updates, energy-saving modes, and deep integration between hardware and software.
The fourth-gen MBUX infotainment system uses AI from both Google and Microsoft. The Virtual Assistant can hold conversations like a human, access Google Maps for real-time info, and display everything on a stunning MBUX Superscreen, spanning the dash with up to three separate displays.
Designed to Impress with Function and Flair
On the outside, the new CLA brings emotional design with purpose. Its long wheelbase, GT-style rear, and illuminated Mercedes-Benz star grille create a confident stance. Star-shaped LED headlights and taillights add a distinct glow, day or night.
Inside, minimalist design rules. The floating center console, optional ambient lighting, and eco-conscious materials make every ride feel upscale and sustainable. Even the seats and carpeting are built with recycled content.
U.S.-Specific Highlights and Efficiency
Mercedes-Benz tailored this CLA lineup for the American market, balancing performance, innovation, and style. While EPA range figures are still pending, the CLA is expected to be a class leader in electric driving range and efficiency.
For those who prefer hybrid power, 48-volt CLA models will arrive later, blending intelligent combustion with electric boost. These hybrids will offer electric driving up to 60 mph and energy recovery in all eight gears.
Summary
The 2025 Mercedes-Benz CLA U.S. specs promise a car that’s ready for the roads ahead. With electrifying performance, seamless digital experiences, and unmistakable style, the CLA proves that brains and beauty can coexist in a luxury compact.
