Battery capacity differs for the two versions, as the 200 will have a 58kWh battery pack offering a claimed range of 542 km (under WLTP). Meanwhile, the 250+ has an 85.5kWh battery pack, which is capable of travelling 792 km in a single charge, claims the Three-Pointed Star. Both are based on the new 800-volt architecture and support the DC fast charging of 240kW. Which means, the CLA 250+ LR can add up to 400kms of range in 20 minutes, while the 200 SR will take just 20 minutes to add 320kms of range.

The equipment level of both – 250+ Long Range and 200 Standard Range – will, however, remain the same, assures Mercedes-Benz India. The SR will have comfort seats, a multifunction sports leather steering wheel and two interior trim options. It will wear a different bumper design, smaller alloy wheel size, and a slightly less sporty cabin layout.
