Mercedes-Benz launched the CLA, a true Tesla Model 3 killer, but it's unlikely people will notice, considering sedans have fallen out of favor with customers

Mercedes introduces a new model, architecture, powertrains, and operating system with the hybrid and electric CLA.

The new CLA also marks a change in strategy for Mercedes. Rather than have different line-ups for electric cars – badged EQ – the CLA is available as an EV with two versions and a full hybrid with a 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine and small battery. In a further twist, Mercedes has said that both petrol and EV models should be priced similarly.
