We put the new Mercedes CLA Hybrid to the test high in the Austrian mountains, in deep snow and sub-zero temperatures. Earlier this year we drove the fully electric CLA and came away seriously impressed, so the big question now is simple: is the hybrid version still relevant… or is the EV just the better car?
This review breaks down real-world efficiency, refinement, performance and winter usability. We look at how the hybrid handles the cold, how its drivetrain compares to the EV’s, and whether this version makes more sense for buyers who aren’t quite ready to go fully electric.
Is the hybrid the smarter choice? Or has the EV already won? The answer may surprise you.
