Initially, Mercedes-Benz will offer the 268-horsepower CLA 250+ with rear-wheel drive and the performance-oriented 349-horsepower CLA 350 4MATIC with all-wheel drive. That’s far more potent than the 221-horsepower four-cylinder mild hybrid driveline offered for 2025.

Powering the internal-combustion version of the CLA is a 1.5-liter four-cylinder Miller-cycle engine. Dubbed the M 252 internally by Mercedes-Benz, this turbocharged four-cylinder works with an electric motor that’s integrated within the eight-speed transmission.
