Mercedes-Benz Sets April 24 India Launch for All‑Electric CLA

The compact sedan aims to open a lower‑priced path into Mercedes' EV lineup through two long‑range trims and rapid charging tech.

Overview

  • Reports Monday and Tuesday confirm an April 24 India launch, with CLA 250+ deliveries slated for late April and the CLA 200 to follow around June.
  • Two variants are planned at launch, with manufacturer‑claimed WLTP ranges of up to 792 km for the CLA 250+ Long Range and about 542 km for the CLA 200 Standard Range.
  • The car uses Mercedes’ new MMA platform and an 800‑volt system that the company says can add roughly 400 km to the Long Range model in about 20 minutes on a 240 kW DC charger, with the Standard Range adding about 320 km in the same time.
  • Bookings have been open since March 10 for a Rs 1.5 lakh token, and early customers who pre‑book will receive a complimentary home wall box charger.
  • Media expect pricing near Rs 55 lakh for the entry model and about Rs 59–60 lakh for the Long Range, with final prices to be announced on April 24.
