Mercedes-Benz is set to launch the much-anticipated CLA EV in the Indian market tomorrow, marking a significant addition to its electric vehicle portfolio. The premium electric sedan will be available for booking via the company’s official website and authorised dealerships with a token amount of ₹1.5 lakh.
The CLA EV will be offered in two variants — CLA 250+ Long Range and CLA 200 Standard Range. Deliveries of the Long Range variant are expected to begin first, while the Standard Range version is likely to reach customers around June 2026.
