Mercedes CLA Shooting Brake: the prices of the electric star station wagon

Versatile, practical, sporty: the new CLA Shooting Brake electric symbolizes the strong return of the estate car.

The European car market is experiencing a tectonic shift. After a decade dominated by the SUV trend, estate cars are making a comeback, driven by a clientele seeking efficiency, simplicity, and versatility. The arrival of the brand new Mercedes-Benz CLA Shooting Brake electric, now available for order, perfectly illustrates this trend: a sharp format, a low and dynamic silhouette, and a technical specification designed for both daily use and long journeys.

In France, prices start at €55,700 for the CLA 250+ Shooting Brake, a model with 200 kW claiming up to 768 km of WLTP range. Above that, the CLA 350 4MATIC raises the technical specifications to 260 kW, including all-wheel drive, with a listed price of €64,950. In both cases, the 85 kWh battery is paired with an 800 V architecture allowing recovery of up to 315 km in 10 minutes at a suitable charging station. This performance positions the star family car among current references, far from the more energy-consuming image associated with SUVs.

Space and Refinement

This Shooting Brake combines elegance, volume, and practicality. A 40:20:40 bench seat, a trunk reaching 1,290 liters, a front trunk of 101 liters, an electric tailgate, and towing capacity of up to 1,800 kg: the estate format proves once again that it remains hard to beat for those who alternate between urban trips, leisure, and travel. The roof rails, long neglected on bulkier silhouettes, recall the very essence of the estate: a companion for life before being a fashion object.

Onboard, Mercedes modernizes without renouncing ergonomics. The new steering wheel marks the welcome return of physical buttons, a sign that all-touch controls were not always favored. The MB.OS system promises a smoother, customizable, and connected interface, relying on Google Maps for navigation and a wide ecosystem of services.
