Mercedes-Benz, a luxury automaker, is set to unveil a new entry-level EV in September this year. At IAA Mobility 2023 in Germany, the company is expected to show off the vehicle which would be more closer to CLA. While the automaker already has five electric vehicle models, this will be the company’s first EV in the entry-level EV segment.
Joseph Agrestra, Mercedes dealer board chair stated that the company has many more EVs in the pipeline and they certainly think EV is the future. The electric version of the CLA-sized sedan will directly compete with the Tesla Model 3 and is expected to have 400 miles of range. According to the sources, it will have a tech-focused interior and will be more appealing to younger buyers.

According to the reports from Autocar, this new entry-level EV concept will bring in design features from the Mercedes EQXX concept which had a range of up to 747 miles. The company will release 3 other entry-level EV models over the course of the next 3 years. The compact car lineup of Mercedes needs a complete revamp and it looks like the company is headed that way.
According to Mercedes, the new model will represent its “vision for class-leading innovation, design, and digital experience”.
