Mercedes-Benz is more than a carmaker, it’s a benchmark for luxury that adapts to modern life. From the nimble CLA to the commanding GLS, each model balances elegance with cutting-edge tech. In 2026, New Yorkers will find leasing a Benz not just aspirational, but smart, thanks to evolving models, flexible terms, and a city that thrives on style, innovation, and forward-thinking choices. Here are some of the most significant updates to Mercedes’ Lineup for 2026.
CLA-Class
The all-new 2026 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class ushers in an exciting third generation built on a groundbreaking platform that will spawn multiple variants, including SUVs and a coveted station wagon. While preserving its distinctive fastback silhouette, the redesigned CLA showcases contemporary styling highlighted by striking star-motif lighting elements front and rear. Power comes from an innovative hybrid system pairing a newly-developed turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder with an advanced 48-volt setup. Even more thrilling, two fully-electric CLA variants will debut first, setting the stage for this comprehensive lineup that promises to redefine Mercedes’ compact luxury segment with cutting-edge technology and sophisticated design.
CLA-Class EV
The all-new electric 2026 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class marks a revolutionary shift for the brand’s entry-level sedan, introducing electrification to this iconic fastback for the first time. Built on Mercedes’ cutting-edge dedicated platform, the electric CLA lineup offers two compelling variants: the rear-drive CLA250+ and the more powerful all-wheel-drive CLA350. What truly sets these models apart is their exceptional projected range of over 350 miles per charge, combined with ultra-rapid DC fast-charging capabilities that promise to redefine convenience. Positioned to challenge the BMW i4 and Tesla Model 3, this electric CLA represents Mercedes’ bold vision for sustainable luxury, built on the same Innovative architecture that will spawn upcoming SUVs and an eagerly anticipated wagon variant.
Following recent redesigns, technological upgrades and impressive facelifts, the rest of Mercedes-Benz’s lineup is largely unchanged for the 2026 model year.
