I was SURPRISED by the value on offer here... Subscribe here: youtube.com/@therightcar?sub_confirmation=1
The new Mercedes CLA comes with either electric power, or as a petrol model.
Here's my take on the petrol / mild hybrid range: youtu.be/KWChddz-MFU
And it's fair to say that, having driven both, the CLA Electric is the more luxurious and likeable choice of the two. It's charming, fun, function (to a degree) and very likeable in terms of the drive.
The tech mightn't be necessarily ideal for everyone, but wow, there's plenty of it. And the pricing is genuinely impressive!

I am aiming to review every new car on the market that people actually buy, to help new-car customers like you, or curious car enthusiasts (maybe also like you) get the right steer when it comes to choosing a new set of wheels.
If you're looking for a car for yourself, monitoring the market and hunting for the latest info, or even if you've just bought your new car and you're looking to see what experts like me think about it, The Right Car will offer you something of value.
