Mercedes-Benz CLA Electric: Green NCAP Results

The Green NCAP test results are a testament to the CLA Electric’s strong environmental capabilities. According to the independent organisation, these results are no longer limited to small electric vehicles with compact battery packs. 

Despite being equipped with a substantial 90 kWh battery pack and weighing around 2 tonnes, the CLA Electric is widely appreciated for its minimal environmental impact associated with its big size through its aerodynamic shape, highly efficient powertrain, and optimised auxiliary systems. 

The electric sedan achieved a WLTP-rated energy consumption of 12.2 kWh per 100 Km. During Green NCAP’s warm-weather laboratory test conducted with the air conditioning system with the vehicle recorded with an energy consumption of 13.9 kWh per 100 Km. The organisation also estimated the model’s total lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions at approx 119g of CO2 per Km. 

The CLA Electric also achieved a remarkable tested driving range of 690 Km in warm-weather rural driving conditions, with an estimated urban range of 651 Km under the same conditions. During the cold-weather testing at -7 Degrees, it provided an ideal range of 456 Km, with peak charging speeds reaching 342 kW, which was able to charge the batteries from 10-80% in just 23 minutes.
