Mercedes-Benz Korea has finalized the domestic certified driving range specifications for the all-new electric Mercedes-Benz CLA 250+, the first pure electric vehicle to apply the next-generation modular architecture MMA. Intense competition is expected in the domestic eco-friendly car market, which prioritizes practicality, against key domestic models and Tesla.

According to the released certification data, the CLA 250+ electric’s combined driving range at normal temperatures was recorded at 474km. Specifically, it achieved 488km in urban areas and 458km on highways. At low temperatures, the combined driving range was confirmed to be 374km (urban 324km, highway 434km).

The model supports up to 320kW fast charging based on an 800-volt electric architecture, allowing a charge from 10% to 80% battery level in approximately 22 minutes. Its maximum output delivers performance of 200kW (268 horsepower). Domestic sales prices were set at 63.7 million won for the CLA 250+ electric and 67.7 million won for the AMG Line Launch Edition. In the electric vehicle segment, the 60th million won price range is the most fiercely contested area, competing with Model Y Long Range, Performance, and the new six-seater Model Y L LINE-ups, as well as targeting demand for imported premium sedans and crossovers.

The certified driving range can be evaluated as relatively competitive. The 474km combined range at normal temperatures places it firmly within the 450th–500km practical range preferred by domestic consumers. Consequently, it secures a comparable driving distance to dedicated domestic electric vehicle LINE-ups such as Hyundai Ioniq 5·6 and Kia EV6 Long Range (approximately 475–505km based on 2WD). Additionally, it is expected to engage in direct competition with Tesla Model 3 and Y key trims in the imported car market for premium sedan and crossover demand.
