CLA 250+ Luxury Line
Wow! First post in new forum!

Well, I asked for it - literally! Time that MBWorld catches up with the New CLA models (C174 EV and C178 Hybrid and their Shooting Brake / Estate Car equivalents)

I have been driving my CLA EV (C174) for nearly four weeks now. A couple of other Forums beat MBWorld to the punch and I already posted some real world driving reviews and discoveries - I will fill these in here in due course. Then there is the debate about range anxiety - I will also post about some real world experience there too.

Thanks to Robb at MBWorld for creating the Forum. Other EV and CLA-focused Forums are available, and I am present there, but I have been on MBWorld since first driving MB back in Switzerland - hence the username, even though I have migrated via Germany now to Belgium.

One thing I will just mention: the variants and respective options vary by market. I am driving a CLA 250+ Luxury Line and will post here the exact configuration so that you can compare with local market offerings.

Happy driving!
JBN

Congrats and yay, how did you know they finally created the sub-forum? I don't think there are notifications but glad they finally created it.
