At the heart of Munich, Mercedes-Benz Group AG CEO Ola Källenius pulled the curtain back on the future of automotive innovation at the Mercedes-Benz Pavilion during IAA Mobility 2023. Highlighting the event was the debut of the Concept CLA Class, an EV that sets the standard for the company’s electric ambitions with a staggering 466-mile range, new operating system MB.OS, and revolutionary sustainability features. Built on the new Mercedes-Benz Modular Architecture (MMA), this concept car is the forerunner to an entirely new family of electric models.
From advancements in electric drivetrain technology to the introduction of the all-new MB.OS operating system, the Concept CLA Class positions itself as a game-changer. Remarkably, it boasts an energy consumption rate of around 12 kWh/62 miles, making it a “one-liter car” for the electric era. Aligning with Mercedes-Benz’s Ambition 2039, the MMA platform represents a sustainable future.
