Video Description

The all-new Mercedes CLA is here. I went to test it to see if this sleek saloon really can do 500 miles on a charge, and whether it’s more than just a pretty face. In this review, I dive into the CLA’s range, cutting-edge tech, interior design, and driving experience. Is this the smartest EV Mercedes has ever built? And how does it stack up against its rivals?
