The electric Mercedes CLA 250+ brings the brand’s familiar style to the road with updated hardware and a grand-touring attitude. On test, it comes across as quiet, well finished and easy to live with, with a very composed manner in city traffic and on open roads.
Its priorities are comfort and mileage: efficiency is one of its strongest traits, while the rear-seat room and the not especially engaging setup show it is not aimed at drivers chasing pure thrills. It is a modern four-door coupe, focused more on everyday luxury than aggressive driving.
