Next-generation architecture brings 800V electrics and promises Tesla-rivalling ranges
Speaking at the Concept CLA Class reveal, Mercedes boss Ola Källenius said that the machine was “the forerunner to an entirely new portfolio of electric-first vehicles. This really is the start of a new era for us.”
He added:”We will introduce four new models developed from scratch on MMA: a four-door coupé, a shooting brake and two stunning SUVs. All of them were created by our engineers and designers to fulfil one mission: elevating every aspect of what customers expect from Mercedes.” The new MMA platform will replace the existing MFA architecture, which was developed for combustion engined cars and then adapted for EVs.
Asked if the two new SUVs would serve as replacements for the firm’s existing compact SUVs, Christoph Starzynski, Mercedes’ vice-president for electric vehicle architecture, said: “If you take the GLA and GLB as the two SUVs on the MFA, yes, we are also going to have two SUVs on the MMA platform.”
