- The entry CLA 250+ uses an 85 kWh usable battery and a single rear motor rated at about 268 hp, does 0–60 mph in roughly 6.6 seconds and is reported by Ars Technica at about 374 miles of EPA-style range, with some regional coverage citing a higher WLTP figure that has not been reconciled.

- Mercedes will add full-hybrid CLA models using a 1.5‑litre M252 engine paired with a 22 kW motor and a 1.3 kWh battery enabling electric-only driving up to around 100 km/h, with Carscoops reporting the 1.5‑litre unit was co-developed with Geely and built in China and Canadian arrivals slated from late 2026 into 2027.
- Times Now reports the CLA 250+ will enter India as a full import with an expected price of roughly Rs 55–60 lakh.
