Mercedes takes biggest swing yet at Elon Musk’s Tesla as it unveils new CLA with 492-mile range

Quick Summary:

The new Mercedes CLA compact sedan can drive up to 792 kilometers in one go and recharge nearly half its battery in ten minutes.It even has a frunk.

On Thursday, the German carmaker that invented the modern automobile reinvented its compact sedan, keeping the CLA nameplate and nothing else from the previous two generations of the baby Benz.

That gives the company cause for hope since Mercedes has poured a lot of effort into the CLA and cannot afford another mistake.
