Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the 2026 Mercedes-Benz CLA Sedan different from previous CLA models?
The 2026 Mercedes-Benz CLA Sedan marks a significant departure from its predecessor, it's now fully electric. Gone is the traditional combustion engine, replaced by a next-generation all-electric powertrain available in two configurations: the CLA 250+ with EQ Technology and the CLA 350 4MATIC with EQ Technology. Beyond the powertrain, the 2026 CLA debuts an entirely redesigned interior built around the 4th-generation MBUX system, a standard fixed Panorama roof, and an illuminated star panel with 142 tiny stars, details that make this one of the most forward-looking vehicles in the Mercedes-Benz lineup. Stop by Mercedes-Benz of Northlake on Northlake Auto Plaza Blvd to see the evolution in person.
