Mercedes-Benz has officially opened UK ordering for the all-new CLA Shooting Brake, marking a significant milestone for the brand as it introduces its first estate model powered exclusively by an electric drivetrain. The sleek, coupé-inspired EV arrives in two launch configurations—CLA 250+ and CLA 350 4MATIC—with first customer deliveries scheduled for the first quarter of 2026 .
The CLA Shooting Brake expands Mercedes-Benz’s growing family of compact electric vehicles and represents the latest step in the company’s broader software-led and electric-first strategy. While the CLA nameplate has long been associated with the brand’s more style-driven offerings, the transition to an all-electric estate format signals an effort to blend design-led appeal with enhanced practicality—an increasingly important combination in a market where premium EVs are expected to do it all.
