The Mercedes-Benz Concept CLA Class previews huge tech in a small package. It's said to go up to 750 miles on a charge thanks to new battery tech.
chemistries, a new pack developed with battery partner CATL being the range champ. The automaker didn't specify a capacity for the future product, but quoted energy consumption for the high-range pack as 12 kWh per 100 kilometers or 5.2 miles per kWh. Those numbers mean a battery with around 90 kWh usable to reach 750 km/466 mi. For comparison, Volvo's spec for the battery in the Euro-market 2024 XC40 Recharge is 18.2 kWh per 100 kilometers or 3.
The new, modular pack is said to take up a smaller volume compared to a current pack of similar capacity. The cell modules are held in place with adhesive instead of screws, lowering the weight of the pack and supposedly improving stiffness. The long-range chemistry features silicon-oxide anodes in what we expect is a lithium-ion battery chemistry. The entry-level pack is lithium-iron phosphate. Power is routed through an 800-volt electrical architecture.
The in-house electric drive unit is a compact package containing a 175-kW e-motor with almost no heavy rare earth metals, a two-speed transmission, and power electronics using silicon carbide semiconductors that can handle higher energy densities more efficiently. The unit's chiseled down to a weight of less than 243 pounds.
The bodywork surrounding the powertrain has a lot going on. First, it's larger than the current production CLA, meaning more headroom and legroom for all occupants. Up front, it takes vintage inspiration in its so-called"shark nose" front fascia, named for the very slight forward lean. However, the very-low-energy LED light show that begins here and wraps around the vehicle is all about today and the future.
