Anyone who wants more space and a larger trunk can now order the Mercedes CLA Shooting Brake EQ, which starts at 57,096 euros—only €1,237 more than the coupé.
As with the Mercedes CLA Coupé, the CLA Shooting Brake debuts in its electric versions with the large 85 kWh net Li-Ion battery: the CLA 250+ with a 272 PS rear-axle motor and the CLA 350 4Matic with two motors delivering a combined 354 PS.
The Mercedes CLA 250+ Shooting Brake EQ costs 57,096 euros, 1,237 euros more than the coupé, while the top two-motor version, the CLA 350 4Matic Shooting Brake EQ, starts at 61,653 euros —1,272 euros more than the coupé.
The standard trunk volume of 405 liters is similar to that of the coupé, but the Shooting Brake is more practical because the rear bench can fold in a 40/20/40 split, increasing the load volume to 1,290 liters. As with the coupé, the Shooting Brake version also offers a spacious 101-liter frunk. The towing capacity of the two-motor CLA 350 4Matic version is 1,800 kg.
Like the Mercedes CLA EQ, the CLA Shooting Brake EQ comes with a generous list of standard equipment. The panoramic sunroof is standard, as well as two 10.25-inch displays for the digital instrument cluster and a 14-inch display for the multimedia system. Standard features also include LED High Performance headlights with Adaptive Highbeam Assist, Thermatic automatic climate control, a leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel, the MBUX navigation system, and the USB package with four USB-C ports.
The Advanced Plus Package, Premium Package with Digital Extras, and Premium Plus Package with Digital Extras are also available, each costing a few hundred euros more than on the CLA Coupé. Thus, the Advanced Plus Package costs 1,517.25 euros instead of 1,469.65 euros, the Premium Package with Digital Extras 3,873.45 euros instead of 3,230.85 euros, and the Premium Plus Package with Digital Extras euros 6,074.95 instead of 5,432.35 euros.
A new feature is the 400V charging option, priced at 654.50 euros. This is not yet available for the CLA Coupé, which can currently charge only at 800V stations.
However, charging at older 400V stations is limited to 100 kW, compared with the maximum 320 kW charging power available at 800V stations.
