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.
