The All-New Mercedes-Benz CLA Shooting Brake with EQ Technology – More Room for Intelligence
Mercedes-Benz has officially introduced the second member of its all-new CLA family: the 2026 CLA Shooting Brake with EQ Technology. As the brand’s first electric estate car, it redefines the balance between elegant styling, electric intelligence, and everyday practicality. From city commutes to family road trips, this innovative Shooting Brake promises to deliver a premium driving experience with advanced versatility.
A Bold New Concept, Electrified
With its roots in the iconic CLA four-door coupé, the all-new Shooting Brake adds more room and more functionality while maintaining the signature design that defines the CLA line. It’s the first fully electric Shooting Brake from Mercedes-Benz, and it's engineered to provide up to 761 km of WLTP range, redefining the long-distance capability of EVs in this segment.
For daily use or long adventures, the CLA Shooting Brake adapts effortlessly. A quick 10-minute charge delivers an additional 310 km of range, making it practical even for unplanned detours or sudden weekend escapes. The braked towing capacity of up to 1,800 kg adds another layer of versatility, allowing it to tow jet skis, trailers, or even motorcycles with ease.
Space and Comfort Meet Electric Precision
This Shooting Brake isn’t just about performance—it’s about space, comfort, and thoughtful design. The boot capacity ranges from 455 to 1,290 litres, supported by an additional 101 litres in the illuminated front trunk. Whether it’s sports gear, grocery hauls, or luggage for a family road trip, this car has the storage solutions covered.
The longer wheelbase and taller roofline translate to improved legroom and headroom, especially in the second row—ideal for passengers who value comfort. With fold-flat rear seats (40:20:40 split), flexible loading options, and standard EASY-PACK electric tailgate, convenience is deeply embedded into every detail.
Sleek Design with Signature Details
Visually, the new CLA Shooting Brake continues Mercedes-Benz’s futuristic styling with a panoramic glass roof, MULTIBEAM LED headlamps, and a shark-nose front fitted with 142 illuminated chrome-look LED stars. At the rear, the car’s sleek lines taper into a connected LED light strip, creating a high-tech yet elegant profile.
But the standout feature? The optional switchable panoramic glass roof, which not only offers a starry sky effect at night with 158 embedded LEDs, but also allows instant switching between transparency and opacity for privacy or sun glare protection.
Performance with Purpose
Under the sleek exterior lies Mercedes’ next-generation electric powertrain. While delivering powerful torque and acceleration, it maintains class-leading energy efficiency—perfect for urban driving in places like Dubai, where quiet, emission-free motoring is increasingly valued.
Additionally, the standard roof rails and available trailer hitch show that Mercedes-Benz has thought through every lifestyle need—from adventurous families to professionals who need to transport heavy equipment or tow light trailers.
Luxury, Utility, and Intelligence in One EV
The 2026 CLA Shooting Brake is more than just another EV—it’s a symbol of how smart design and electric mobility can enhance daily life without compromise. It gives drivers in the UAE and beyond the opportunity to embrace electrification, while still enjoying all the comfort, power, and practicality they expect from a premium Mercedes-Benz.
Whether you're a growing family, a road trip enthusiast, or simply someone looking to combine style and substance, the CLA Shooting Brake with EQ Technology is designed to fit seamlessly into your lifestyle.
