CLA 200

The Mercedes-Benz CLA 200 is a 5-seat saloon with rear-wheel drive, on sale in the UK from £39,150. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 7.5 seconds, slower than 64% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 249 miles (400 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 46% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 45th of 48 saloons.

It uses around 4.3 mi/kWh (145 Wh/km), more efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 58 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 125 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 306 miles (493 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L). The battery uses LFP chemistry, which manufacturers generally allow to be charged to 100% routinely.

Its UK starting price works out at £158 per mile of real-world range, lower than the median for saloons (£245 per mile).

Second-hand, a 2025 example is estimated at £22,300–£25,400, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2025 car should still manage about 244 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
