Yahoo Finance test drives Mercedes-Benz's new luxury EV, the CLA 250+
Ever daydreamed about testing a sleek luxury EV? Someone took Mercedes’ new CLA 250+ EV for a spin, and here’s the lowdown. Ditching the old polarizing blob styling, it has a sharp, Model 3-sized profile with classic Mercedes luxury flair—lighting’s phenomenal, even the base model boasts elevated interior comfort. Starting at $45k, it’s solid value, plus there’s a hybrid option for those not ready to go fully electric. Rear-wheel drive with 250hp, it’s torquey, maneuverable (great for city/suburban drives), topping out at 80mph. Would you test it over a Tesla Model 3, or are you holding out for other features?
