Driving and Real-world range of the Electric MERCEDES CLA Shooting Brake

2026/08/04

Driving in the city (16:07 - 21:01): The car is manageable in narrow urban streets, aided by features like a speed limiter linked to traffic sign recognition and intelligent regenerative braking. Drivers can also engage a one-pedal driving mode, which is particularly useful in heavy traffic. While the suspension is fixed, it remains compliant, though 18-inch wheels are recommended for better comfort over rough surfaces. The interior provides a pleasant, airy ambiance thanks to the panoramic roof, despite somewhat limited rear visibility.

Motorway driving (21:01 - 24:32): On the highway, the electric motor provides quick acceleration for merging and passing. The driving assistance systems are composed and provide confidence by clearly visualizing the car's surroundings on the instrument cluster. The cabin is well-isolated from outside wind noise, though some tire noise is present. The seats are supportive for long-distance trips, and the steering weight is sufficient for stable cruising.

Agile driving (24:32 - 27:43): On winding mountain roads, the CLA handles significantly better than its platform sibling, the GB. The steering feedback is natural, and the all-wheel-drive system ensures plenty of grip when exiting corners. The low center of gravity from the battery pack contributes to a fun, dynamic driving experience. The suspension feels slightly bouncy on rougher surfaces but remains controlled, and the disc brakes provide necessary stopping power, though they require a firmer pedal feel due to the regenerative system.

Real-world range (27:43 - 28:30): In a mixed test loop covering city streets, mountain roads, and motorway speeds between 100 and 120 km/h, the vehicle achieved a consumption rate of 16 kWh per 100 kilometers. Based on this performance, a real-world range of approximately 530 kilometers is realistic.
