2026 Mercedes-Benz CLA: Next-Gen Luxury Coming to Sydney

2025-03-19

Mercedes-Benz is redefining luxury in its compact car lineup, starting with the 2026 CLA sedan. Arriving in Australia in early 2026, this next-generation model offers a choice between mild-hybrid and electric power, advanced technology, and a refined design. As the entry-level Mercedes-Benz range shifts towards premium features, the CLA is expected to sit above the current $72,400 CLA200, bringing it closer to C-Class territory.

For those in Sydney, the new Mercedes-Benz CLA will be available at Tynan Motors Mercedes-Benz Miranda, offering a fresh take on modern luxury and efficiency.

A New Era of Compact Mercedes-Benz Cars

The 2026 CLA is the first of four new models on the MMA platform, designed primarily for electric vehicles but adapted to include petrol-powered mild-hybrids. This platform enhances space, efficiency, and technology, signaling the end of the A-Class hatch in the coming years.

With sleek coupe-styled sedan proportions, the CLA is now larger than a Tesla Model 3, offering improved interior space thanks to a 2790mm wheelbase—61mm longer than before.

Key exterior highlights include: ✔ A full-width light bar with LED headlights ✔ Optional retractable door handles ✔ Frameless windows and star-patterned LED tail-lights ✔ 17- to 19-inch alloy wheel options ✔ A 101L under-bonnet ‘frunk’ storage compartment

Luxury & Technology Inside

The new MBUX Superscreen dominates the dashboard, featuring: ✔ Up to three screens behind a single glass panel ✔ A 10.25-inch driver display & 14-inch central touchscreen ✔ Optional passenger touchscreen with Disney+ streaming ✔ Voice assistant powered by ChatGPT & Google Gemini AI ✔ Over-the-air updates for software & safety features ✔ Advanced 3D satellite navigation with Google Maps

The voice assistant can detect passengers’ moods, adjusting the ambient lighting—turning green for happy or red for angry.

Other standout features: ✔ Standard panoramic glass roof with infrared heat protection ✔ Heated front seats & dual-zone climate control ✔ Premium synthetic leather upholstery ✔ Burmester 3D surround sound system (optional)

Electrified Performance & Efficiency

Electric Variants:

The CLA250+ EQ Technology (rear-wheel drive) features: ✔ 200kW/335Nm electric motor ✔ 6.7-second 0-100km/h sprint ✔ Up to 792km WLTP range with 85kWh battery ✔ 800V charging for 325km range boost in 10 minutes

The CLA350 4Matic EQ Technology (all-wheel drive) upgrades to: ✔ Dual motors: 200kW front, 80kW rear ✔ 260kW/515Nm total output ✔ 0-100km/h in just 4.9 seconds

Mercedes-Benz has eliminated rare earth materials from its electric motors and introduced a two-speed transmission for better efficiency at high speeds.

Mild-Hybrid Variant:

The 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine is paired with: ✔ 48V mild-hybrid tech ✔ Eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission ✔ EV-like low-speed driving using electric power alone

More details on power outputs will be confirmed closer to launch.

Advanced Safety & Driver Assistance

The CLA debuts MB.Drive Assist, which includes: ✔ Adaptive cruise control & lane centring ✔ Assisted lane changes via indicator stalk ✔ Future updates for hands-free lane changes ✔ Planned semi-autonomous driving features for city traffic
