The 2026 Mercedes-Benz CLA is on sale in Ireland nowThe new Mercedes-Benz CLA has arrived in Ireland, the third generation of the popular four-door coupé.
Built on a new platform, the 2026 Mercedes-Benz CLA debuts an all-electric version for the very first time. The sleek aerodynamic design contributes to a 793 kilometre (WLTP) range possible in the flagship CLA 250+.
There is also a 1.5-litre, four-cylinder petrol mild hybrid available with a number of different power outputs and fuel consumption as low as 4.9 litres per 100 kilometres.
4MATIC all-wheel drive is available, and the stylish CLA Shooting Brake will join the range later in 2026.
Though styling has quite subtly evolved, the new CLA is in fact larger in all directions, which makes it a little more spacious inside. Design highlights include a ‘star-studded’ grille, and ‘star-shaped’ headlights and taillights to give it even more visual appeal.
Inside, it gets a brand new interior design that is dominated by an upgraded MBUX infotainment system with new operating system and the option to add a dedicated passenger display.
Other features include a wireless charging pad and optional electrically operated and adjustable driver’s seat with memory function, and heated seats with 4-way lumbar support.
