Market Impact
Through the Agility+ plan, buyers can take delivery from RM2,988 per month. The package includes an extra one-year vehicle warranty and four Compact Service Packages. All buyers receive a free AC wallbox, though installation is extra.
Malaysia’s first all-new Mercedes-Benz EV since the G-Class EV in June 2024 delivers up to 792km of WLTP range on an 85kWh NMC battery. Energy consumption is as low as 12.2kWh per 100km. A 200kW rear motor propels the sedan from 0-100km/h in 6.7 seconds and to a top speed of 210km/h.
Its 800V architecture supports DC charging up to 325kW, enabling a 10%–80% charge in 22 minutes and 325km of range in 10 minutes. Mercedes-Benz Malaysia said over 60% of public EV chargers in the country already support 800V or higher, easing compatibility concerns.
The MB.Charge Public service, now live in Malaysia, lets owners locate and activate compatible chargers via the MBUX system or Mercedes-Benz app. Unlike the U.S. market, the Malaysia-spec model is 800V-only, with no 400V converter offered.
An 11kW on-board AC charger tops up the battery from 0% to 100% in about nine hours on a three-phase 11kW supply.
The exterior features a drag coefficient of 0.21, a panoramic glass roof and animated LED grille stars. Inside, the Malaysia-spec CLA 250+ EV comes with the MBUX Superscreen as standard: a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, a 14-inch central infotainment display and a 14-inch front passenger display.
Trim options include Artico leather and Microcut microfibre upholstery in black with anthracite trim, AMG Line sports seats and 19-inch AMG wheels. Base colours are Aqua-mint, Polar White, High-tech Silver, Cosmos Black and Sheer Blue. Manufaktur options such as Patagonia Red Metallic and Alpine Grey Solid add RM6,000.
Boot space measures 405 litres and the frunk offers 101 litres.
