Pre-orders for the new Mercedes-Benz CLA EQ Shooting Brake will open in Europe in December 2025, with series production scheduled to begin early the following year.

The first variant will be the CLA 250+ EQ. It features rear-wheel drive, a 200 kW electric motor, and an 85 kWh battery. The CLA 350 4MATIC EQ brings all-wheel drive, increases output to 260 kW, and uses the same 85 kWh pack.

A little later, a base CLA 200 EQ will join the range with a single-motor setup rated at 165 kW and a 58 kWh LiFePO₄ battery.

Indicative European pricing is expected to be as follows: the CLA 200 EQ under €50,000, the CLA 250+ EQ around €56,000, and the CLA 350 4MATIC EQ about €61,000. The price walk between versions looks well-judged, giving buyers a clear rationale to move up the lineup.

An AMG-tuned flagship is also planned for the second half of 2026. It will be the most powerful model in the CLA EQ Shooting Brake family, a halo addition that should sharpen the appeal of the entire range.
