Mercedes-Benz is gearing up for an exciting 2025 with the arrival of two new stars: Kimi Antonelli, the rising talent joining the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team, and the highly anticipated all-new CLA. To celebrate, the automaker has released a charming holiday short film titled “Charging Up for 2025,” featuring Antonelli and the upcoming CLA in a dazzling festive setting.
A Journey Through the Alps
The film takes viewers to the picturesque European Alps, where Antonelli begins his journey in a camouflaged version of the new CLA. Adorned in a striking red illuminated livery, the car showcases its advanced energy recuperation capabilities. As Antonelli navigates the scenic route, the CLA recovers kinetic energy with every brake application, ultimately generating enough power to light up a festive holiday display.
Efficiency Meets Sustainability
The new Mercedes-Benz CLA is designed to set benchmarks in efficiency and sustainability. Its energy recuperation system enables almost all braking to be performed electrically, minimizing mechanical wear and maximizing battery charging. The result is stronger deceleration, increased energy recovery, and an extended all-electric range—features that position the CLA as a leader in its segment.
Looking Ahead to 2025
The film not only highlights the cutting-edge technology of the CLA but also celebrates Antonelli’s upcoming debut in Formula One® as a teammate to George Russell. Together, the new star and car embody Mercedes-Benz’s vision for the future: innovative, sustainable, and thrilling.
As 2025 approaches, the new CLA and Kimi Antonelli are set to make a significant impact both on and off the racetrack.
