The Mercedes-Benz CLA-class returns with a new generation for the 2026 model year, and it's debuting as an EV. Its interior is expectedly stylish and takes some inspiration from the brand's Concept CLA.
The CLA EV's interior is defined by a dashbaord that houses up to three screens.
The 14.0-inch center touchscreen is the hub for the brand's new MBUX infotainment system, which uses AI enhancements.
Inside, the CLA EV offers myriad upholstery options, such as the cream-colored seats seen here.
Ambient lighting is a mixed bag for people, but those who find the CLA's interior ambiance aggravating can always turn it off.
Despite a coupe-like roofline, there's enough rear-seat headroom for a six-footer.
A special launch edition features a unique interior color scheme with attractive gold tones.
For those who have a fondness for pandas (or who like the look of white and black upholstery), here's another interior option.
With a wheelbase that's 2.4 inches longer than before, back-seat passengers will be the beneficiaries.
The car's MBUX system identifies its AI voice assistant with a star in the upper right corner of the center screen.
The CLA EV will reach U.S. dealerships sometime this fall, and it will be followed by a hybrid model.

Mercedes' George Russell fastest in second practice for Canadian Grand Prix
George Russell raised hope of a first Mercedes win of the season after he finished fastest in second practice for the Canadian Grand Prix. The British driver, who took pole position in Montreal last year, edged out McLaren compatriot Lando Norris, with Kimi Antonelli underlining Mercedes' speed to set the third quickest time. Advertisement Championship leader Oscar Piastri was only sixth, with Lewis Hamilton eighth, one place ahead of Max Verstappen, who had earlier finished fastest in the first running of the weekend. Russell has been one of the grid's standout performers this season with four podium finishes already under his belt, matching the tally he managed for the entire 2024 campaign. At the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve on Friday, Russell's lap of one minute and 12.123 seconds was the fastest of the day to leave Norris trailing. McLaren have dominated the campaign so far, but in practice here they appeared to be lacking the advantage which has carried them to seven wins from the nine races staged. Advertisement Norris was in striking range of Russell, just 0.028sec behind the Mercedes man, but Piastri was 0.439sec off the pace, having finished the first practice session in 14th. Lando Norris trailed George Russell by 0.028 seconds in second practice (Evan Buhler/AP) Williams' Alex Albon took fourth, with Fernando Alonso fifth, but the two-time world champion's Aston Martin team-mate Lance Stroll crashed out. Stroll, who had a medical procedure on a wrist injury which prevented him from contesting the Spanish Grand Prix a fortnight ago, thudded into the concrete wall at turn seven to bring an abrupt end to his session. The Canadian was the day's second major casualty after Charles Leclerc's preparations for the rest of the weekend were dealt a blow when he suffered a heavy accident with just nine laps on the board in first practice. Advertisement The Monegasque crashed into the barrier on the entry to turn four and sustained significant damage to the left-hand side of his Ferrari. The force of the impact sent him sideways and across the other side of the chicane. Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc completed just nine laps after he crashed out of first practice (Christopher Katsarov/AP) 'F***,' said Leclerc on the radio. 'Sorry, I am in the wall. My bad. I should have gone straight, but I thought I would make the corner and I hit the wall.' Leclerc's survival cell on his Ferrari needed replacing which sidelined him for the remainder of the day. His accident marked an underwhelming day for Ferrari which will have done little to lift the gloom around the Italian team with Hamilton 0.530 sec slower than the pace-setting Russell.

Tested: 2025 Mercedes-Maybach GLS600 Is a Fancy Bounce House
The 2025 Mercedes Maybach GLS600 glitters like a leading lady on a red-carpet premiere and intimidates like the bouncer at the after-party. In the Obsidian Black and Mojave Silver paint of our two-tone Night Series test car, the GLS600 is even more of a standout, with rose-gold details inside the headlamps and smoked chrome reflecting the surroundings like a Victorian gazing ball. What Is Maybach? Everyone who sees it will know the Maybach is a top-shelf cocktail, although not everyone knows the Maybach name. We fielded two recurring questions while testing the GLS600: "Is Maybach a trim or a brand?" and "Can I open the champagne that's in the refrigerated rear compartment?" To the second question—no, it's a photo prop, and also it's cheap prosecco, because we don't have a champagne budget. As for the first question, Maybach has been both. Wilhelm Maybach began as a stand-alone engine manufacturer in 1909. While the bulk of the business was heavy-duty powerplants, Maybach also designed and sold high-end luxury cars. View Exterior Photos Jessica Lynn Walker | Car and Driver For obvious reasons, demand in Germany for tank engines and glamorous transport for high-ranking military officers fell off after World War II, and it wasn't until Daimler-Benz purchased the company in the 1960s that Maybach began making luxury vehicles again, first under the Mercedes name, then briefly as its own brand. Currently, it's somewhere in the middle. All modern Maybachs are based on Mercedes models but offer features and options unavailable in a regular Benz. Mercedes is no slouch on comfort and performance, but the Maybach versions step it up on luxury and customization. HIGHS: Mobile spa experience, surprisingly quick, passenger pleasing. The Maybach GLS goes loud on the exterior with a polished grille and flashy wheel options such as 23-inch five-hole monoblocks or the lacy Maybach-logo-patterned seven-spokes that were on our test car. Inside, Maybach ditches the third-row seat and transforms the GLS from a very nice family SUV into a mobile executive lounge, complete with massaging recliners and thematic scent therapy. Maybach on the Move While the back seats are glorious, the GLS600 isn't just for those driven by a chauffeur. The front seats are also heated, ventilated, and massaging, making the cockpit just as comfortable as the back row. The driver may not be able to partake in back-seat beverages, but they do get the pleasure of 550 smooth-gaited horses that propel the Maybach to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds and across a quarter-mile in 12.5 seconds at 109 mph, all while cushioning the interior from every crack and bump in the road. View Interior Photos Jessica Lynn Walker | Car and Driver That big power comes from a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 with a 48-volt hybrid-assist system backed by a nine-speed automatic. The V-8's output is increased from the regular Mercedes GLS580's 510 horsepower but not quite to the sports-car levels of the 603-hp GLS63. We found the 550 horsepower and 538 pound-feet to be more than enough to push the GLS600 through traffic, and if you have a Gullwing or a racing sailboat in need of relocation, the GLS600 is rated to tow up to 7700 pounds. It's a thirsty powertrain combo, though, with EPA ratings of 15 mpg combined (13 mpg city, 18 mpg highway). We just barely beat that with 16 mpg combined during our testing. The fuel economy was no surprise, but the quick acceleration was. The V-8 is so zippy that Maybach has a special performance mode that restrains the power. In Maybach mode, the vehicle starts the car from stops in second gear, minimizes shifts, and smooths acceleration to keep overexcited chauffeurs from jostling their passengers. View Exterior Photos Jessica Lynn Walker | Car and Driver The Maybach also offers a Curve mode, which uses the quick-adjusting air springs to level out the body on winding roads. None of our passengers seemed to notice when we had it on. Perhaps they lack the finely tuned inner ears of the jet set, or perhaps they were too busy experimenting with the multitude of preprogrammed lighting themes in the back-seat menu. Several of those also activate the Maybach's interior scent atomizer, resulting in the GLS briefly smelling like a Yankee Candle store until we aired it out. While comfort and luxury are ultimately subjective, we'd be surprised if anyone found the Maybach driving experience rugged or stressful. The seats are plush, the screens are crisp and bright, and there are cameras, head-up displays, navigation assists, easy phone connections, and cruise-control settings to take the anxiety out of piloting this machine. Styling: More Is More Visually, the Maybach is baroque, with logos and textures on every surface. The interior features pattern-stitched leather covering the seats and door panels, with padded headrests in the front, lumbar pillows in the back, and a choice of wood trims for the dash and door inlays that would make a termite drool. View Interior Photos Jessica Lynn Walker | Car and Driver Our Night Series test car had white leather upholstery as bright as a veneered smile and was trimmed with ash wood and aluminum that gave it the look of a silver-plated Chris-Craft. It was an impressive sight upon opening the door, even if long-term maintenance would require an Amazon subscription of Mr. Clean Magic Erasers. LOWS: Flashy bordering on gaudy, guillotine-deserving gas mileage, luggage space sacrificed for champagne cooling. Housekeeping aside, the Maybach is much more than a wheeled yacht. Sure, you can get a massage while covering miles in Comfort mode, but if you do need to pick up the pace, the Maybach handles on par with its competition from Bentley and Rolls-Royce. None of these ultraluxury SUVs are made with gymkhana in mind, but if you have to flee from the bad guys with an oligarch's daughter in the back seat, or just hustle over the hills on your way to a Palm Springs brunch, the Maybach sticks and turns better than you'd expect from a 6271-pound jewelry box. View Interior Photos Jessica Lynn Walker | Car and Driver On our skidpad, the Maybach held steady at 0.86 g, which puts it just behind the Bentayga's 0.88 g and ahead of the 0.83 g put down by the Cullinan—which, at $410,575, costs almost twice the Maybach's as-tested price of $243,850. And considering that the last Bentayga we tested was $269,865, the Maybach is almost a bargain. If that notion causes you to slam on the brakes, you'll find that the Cullinan and the Maybach will both come to a stop from 70 mph in 159 feet, while Bentley will slide just a little farther to stop in 165 feet. Maybach's Special Features Having established that the GLS600 is a bargain for a fully loaded and stunningly rapid luxomobile, let's rate some of the features and options that make it more than a Mercedes. We called in some pals for this, since the real big shots will be in the back seat. Automatically deploying running boards got a nod for ease of entry and egress but were dinged for being a little too slow to drop down and doing so right into the shins of impatient passengers. Puddle lamps with different designs front and rear and twinkling stars got rave reviews for turning every evening into a nightclub. The refrigerated rear center console ($1100) was a hit with passengers for the bubbly and with this driver, who found it perfectly held a deli sandwich. The console does cut into luggage room, though. Jessica Lynn Walker | Car and Driver View Interior Photos Jessica Lynn Walker | Car and Driver Mercedes understandably does not loan out the GLS600 with the $2400 silver-plated champagne flutes, so we had to test the champagne-flute holder ($800) with regular glasses. No stemware was harmed. The folding rear tables ($1800) were difficult to unfold but would prove useful for eating the sandwich. Rear-seat entertainment ($3400) could be popular with those on regular Zoom meetings, although we mostly used it to change the accent lighting to Miami turquoise and pink. VERDICT: Yacht rock on wheels. The Maybach's biggest crowd-pleaser was "free driving assist," or, as the kids call it, bounce mode. Intended as an off-road tool that uses the air springs to mimic the weight transfer of a bunch of off-roaders jumping on a tailgate to help a truck shimmy out of silty or sandy terrain, this mode also works as comic relief at the end of a long photo shoot. We had our photographer giggling as we wiggled and jiggled the Maybach down the trail in a roostertail of dust. It probably helps if you get stuck while off-road too, but with the GLS's all-wheel drive and adjustable height, we never had any issues with traction or clearance on pavement or dirt. View Exterior Photos Jessica Lynn Walker | Car and Driver If bouncing down dirt roads on delicate intertwined-logo wheels seems silly, well, everything in the ultraluxe automotive space is a little silly. That's the prerogative of the wealthy: to sip champagne in a pink-lit white-leather cabin in a car that can bounce.
