2027 Mercedes-Benz CLA Sedan: What's New, Models, Range & Full Specs
Shop 2027 Mercedes-Benz CLA InventoryValue Your TradeSchedule a Test Drive
The 2027 Mercedes-Benz CLA Sedan is fully electric, delivering up to 374 miles of EPA-estimated range on the CLA 250+. This is a ground-up redesign, not a refresh, built on Mercedes-Benz's new MB.OS platform with 4th Generation MBUX. This page covers every model, spec, and new feature, with current inventory at Mercedes-Benz of Tuscaloosa.
What's New for 2027
The 2027 CLA Sedan is an entirely new vehicle. The previous combustion-powered CLA is gone. In its place, Mercedes-Benz introduces a purpose-built electric sedan with 374 miles of EPA-estimated range on the CLA 250+, DC fast-charging at 320 kW that takes the battery from 10% to 80% in 22 minutes, and an 85-kWh battery pack managed by an intelligent heat pump and thermal management system.
The body is new from the ground up, measuring 185.9 inches long and 57.8 inches tall. A front trunk, or frunk, with cargo organizer replaces the engine bay, adding 1.4 cubic feet of lockable storage ahead of the main 10.3-cubic-foot rear cargo area.
The infotainment system is equally new. MBUX 4th Generation runs on MB.OS and pairs a 10.25-inch driver display with a 14-inch central multimedia display. The MBUX Virtual Assistant integrates AI from both Microsoft and Google. Facial recognition enables personalized profile authentication without a key or PIN.
Two exterior colors make their debut: Liquid Crystal Green and Sky Blue Metallic, joining six additional paints for a total of eight options. The illuminated Star-pattern grille panel and an Illuminated Central Mercedes-Benz Star are standard on both models.
The EV battery warranty is 8 years or 100,000 miles. The New Vehicle Limited Warranty covers 4 years or 50,000 miles. Coverage terms, exclusions, and owner responsibilities are defined in the Mercedes-Benz warranty documentation.
Model Lineup
The 2027 CLA Sedan is offered in two configurations.
CLA 250+
CLA 250+ starts the lineup with rear-wheel drive powered by a single 200 kW permanently excited synchronous motor. Standard features include heated power front seats with 4-way lumbar support and 3-position memory, a fixed-glass panoramic roof with infrared film and low-emissivity coating, automatic climate control with pre-entry climate control, Blind Spot Assist Plus with Exit Warning, PRE-SAFE® PLUS, and the full MBUX 4th Gen suite. Seven years of connected services and Electric Intelligence navigation are included as standard Digital Extras.
CLA 350 4MATIC®
CLA 350 4MATIC® adds a second motor at the front axle for fully variable 4MATIC® all-wheel drive and a combined output of 349 hp. EPA-estimated range is 312 miles. Standard wheels step up to 18-inch 5-spoke units with black accents.
Both models can be upgraded with two comfort packages: the Exclusive Trim adds dual-zone automatic climate control, 64-color LED ambient lighting, front-cabin wireless charging, KEYLESS-GO, seamless door handles, and a rear center armrest with dual cupholders. The Pinnacle Trim further adds the MBUX Superscreen with a 14-inch passenger display and a Head-Up Display.
Optional packages include the Night Package, AMG Line, AMG Line Plus with Night Package, Winter Package, and the Digital Extra: MB.DRIVE ASSIST bundle. The optional Burmester 3D Surround Sound System delivers 16 speakers, 850 watts, and Dolby Atmos support.
Performance & Powertrain
CLA 250+: A single rear-axle permanently excited synchronous motor produces 268 hp and 247 lb-ft of torque. The car reaches 60 mph in 6.6 seconds. RWD comes with a two-speed transmission and a four-wheel multilink suspension tuned for Comfort.
CLA 350 4MATIC®: Dual PSM motors combine for 349 hp and 380 lb-ft of torque. 0-60 mph drops to 4.8 seconds. The front/rear motor split is 181 kW front and 79 kW rear, managed by Torque Vectoring Brake for sharper cornering response.
Both variants share the same 85-kWh battery, 320 kW DC fast-charging via NACS connector, and 9.6 kW AC charging via J1772, which takes the battery from 10% to 100% in approximately 8.75 hours. DYNAMIC SELECT offers Comfort, Sport, ECO, and Individual drive programs. Adjustable regenerative braking runs across four levels: D Auto, D+, D, and D-, letting the driver tune energy recovery to preference.
The CLA 250+ carries a curb weight of 4,530 lb and rides on 205/55R17 front and 225/50R17 rear range-optimized summer tires on 17-inch lightweight wheels with removable aero covers.
Interior, Comfort & Cargo
The 2027 CLA seats five across a 73.0-inch body width without mirrors. Front headroom is 40.9 inches and rear headroom is 36.8 inches, with 33.6 inches of rear legroom and a 53.5-inch rear shoulder room measurement.
Standard upholstery is MB-Tex. The 40/20/40-split folding rear seat and a rear center armrest with dual cupholders on Exclusive and Pinnacle trims add flexibility for longer cargo loads. Heated power front seats with 4-way lumbar support and 3-position memory come standard.
The front trunk contributes 1.4 cubic feet of additional lockable storage, a practical benefit of the electric architecture. Rear cargo capacity is 10.3 cubic feet. The fixed-glass panoramic roof with infrared film and low-emissivity coating is standard on both models, keeping the cabin cooler without the added weight of a movable glass panel. Optional SKY CONTROL upgrades the roof to electronically adjustable transparency with seven zones.
Pre-entry climate control lets the cabin reach a comfortable temperature before the driver boards, drawing from grid power rather than battery range.
Technology & Infotainment
The MBUX 4th Generation system, powered by MB.OS, centers on a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and a 14-inch central touchscreen. The zero-layer menu concept surfaces the most relevant information without requiring deep menu navigation.
MBUX Profile Authentication uses facial recognition to load a personalized profile at startup. The MBUX Virtual Assistant incorporates AI from Microsoft and Google for natural-language control of navigation, climate, and media. Over-the-air software updates keep the system current without a dealership visit.
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Wireless Android Auto are included as Digital Extras, along with seven years of Electric Intelligence navigation. That system handles route-based charging optimization and Active Range Monitoring so the driver always knows where the next charge stop falls within the route.
Optional upgrades include the MBUX Superscreen with a 14-inch passenger display, Head-Up Display, the Burmester 3D Surround Sound System with Dolby Atmos, and MBUX Augmented Video for Navigation.
SiriusXM with 360L, HD Radio, Bluetooth audio streaming, and multiple USB-C ports are standard on every CLA.

Who It's For / vs the Prior Year
The previous CLA was offered with turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engines and an optional AMG variant. The 2027 model replaces that lineup entirely with electric powertrains. Buyers who purchased a prior CLA for its compact footprint and sharp styling now get the same proportions with zero tailpipe emissions, a much longer driving range than competing electric sedans in this class, and DC fast-charging that adds meaningful range in under 30 minutes.
The CLA 250+ with 374 miles of range suits buyers who want maximum efficiency and prefer rear-wheel-drive dynamics. The CLA 350 4MATIC® with 349 combined hp and a 4.8-second 0-60 time is the choice for performance-oriented buyers or those in regions where all-season traction matters.
Both models share the same exterior dimensions, the same MBUX 4th Generation system, and the same long-list standard safety suite. The decision between them comes down to range preference vs. performance preference, not feature access.
Feature availability, package content, pricing, Digital Extras, charging capability, warranty coverage, range, performance figures, equipment, and exterior color availability may vary by model, production timing, battery state, driving conditions, and vehicle-specific configuration. Confirm all specifications and coverage terms on the specific vehicle before purchase or lease.
