The station wagon differs from the regular CLA starting from the middle pillars: an elongated roof with panoramic glazing, LED taillights, and a light bar between them. Thanks to the new body, there is a bit more space in the second row - 26 mm more headroom, and the trunk volume has increased to 1290 liters with the seats folded.
Compared to the previous generation, the dimensions have increased in all directions: the new CLA Shooting Brake is 35 mm longer, 25 mm wider, and 27 mm taller, while the wheelbase has added 61 mm. The maximum towing capacity with brakes remains the same - 1800 kg.

Mercedes takes particular pride in the panoramic roof. It is made of thermally insulating glass, and 158 decorative stars are applied to the inner side, which can illuminate together with the ambient lighting of the interior. An electrochromatic glass dimming function is available as an option.
At launch, two electric versions are offered:
- CLA 250+ Shooting Brake EQ - 268 hp (200 kW), 335 Nm, acceleration to 100 km/h in 6.8 seconds
- CLA 350 4Matic - 349 hp (260 kW), 515 Nm, all-wheel drive, acceleration to 100 km/h in 5.0 seconds
Both versions use an 85 kWh (NMC) traction battery and a two-speed gearbox. The maximum speed is limited to 210 km/h. The WLTP cycle range is impressive: up to 761 km for the CLA 250+ and up to 730 km for the CLA 350. Ultra-fast charging of up to 320 kW is supported - in 10 minutes, it is possible to get up to 310 km of range.

The interior completely replicates the sedan: a flat dashboard, an optional triple MBUX Superscreen, digital architecture, and a minimum of physical buttons.
Mercedes has not yet announced prices and the start of sales, but it is expected that the first cars will appear at dealerships by the end of 2025.
