Mercedes-Benz will be expanding its plug-in hybrid model lineup with the GLA, CLA and CLA Shooting Brake, which were teased online over the weekend.
Set to be unveiled this month, likely during an online presentation tomorrow originally planned for the 2020 Geneva Motor Show, they will join the A250e and B250e, which were revealed at the 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show.
Power will come from the same powertrain that combines the 1.3-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine and a small electric motor, likely developing a total system output of 218 PS (215 HP / 160 kW) and 450 Nm (332 lb-ft) of torque.

With the 15.6 kWh battery fully charged, they’re expected to have a zero-emission driving range of around 50-60 km (31-37 miles). Mounted beneath the rear seats, the battery supports fast charging, taking roughly 25 minutes to charge from 10 to 80 percent, while 0-100 percent is achieved in 1 hour and 45 minutes at a 7.4 kW wallbox.
The GLA and CLA plug-in hybrids should be able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) in under 7 seconds, seeing as the A250e hatchback can do it in 6.6 seconds and the sedan is 0.1 seconds slower. Top speed should be around 240-250 km/h (149-155 mph).
Like their PHEV siblings, they will get a plug port on the right rear quarter panel and ‘250e’ badge on the tailgate. The MBUX infotainment system will also feature new functions. Look for the GLA 250e, CLA 250e and CLA 250e Shooting Brake in European dealerships later this year, with pricing and availability to be announced in due course.
