Mercedes-Benz claims the next-gen CLA can achieve 5.2 miles per kWh, beating the Lucid Air's 5.0 miles per kWh.
The Mercedes-Benz MMA platform can handle both EV and Hybrid powertrains. The CLA-Class will be the first model on this platform, but two crossovers are expected to join the range shortly after its launch. At 5.2 miles per kWh, the CLA-class could be the most efficient EV to go on sale. It bests 5.0 miles per kWh achieved by the current leader, the Lucid Air. In the never-ending quest for more range from an electric vehicle, we often forget what it takes to actually pull that off.
Mercedes CLA Concept 2023 Of course, all of the images we’ve received are staged spy photos and engineering cross-sections of the MMA platform’s components. Still, it looks like the production CLA’s proportions will stay fairly true to the concept we saw last year. The platform itself runs the gamut of high-tech EV advancements. It uses a skateboard-style modular chassis that can be altered for different models.
