In this episode, join Imogen at Mercedes-Benz HQ as she explores the all-new, fully electric Mercedes CLA. The original CLA revolutionised the sedan market, attracting a younger demographic to the Mercedes-Benz brand. Now, the electric version, built on the innovative MMA platform and packed with AI features like ChatGPT integration, aims to carry on that legacy. But can this new electric sedan live up to its iconic roots? Imogen takes a closer look to see if the 2025 Mercedes CLA can truly compete with the growing number of electric sedans hitting the market. Game-changer or just another luxury EV?!
