00:00 Hey everyone, my name is Isaac. When I think of car companies that are living the future,

00:05 I think of Mercedes-Benz. And with the new Concept CLA-Class, Mercedes-Benz drives even

00:10 further into the digital and electric future.

00:26 Just take a look at this car. Both outside and inside, it's full of so many incredible

00:31 innovations. It is a stunning vehicle. And it also has many groundbreaking features that

00:36 give us a look at the electric and conscious vision of the upcoming electric vehicle family.

00:42 Okay, first, let's start with the exterior design. As you can see, this is beautiful.

00:47 Come with me.

00:49 Everything on this car just looks and feels natural. We have this sloping front end with

00:53 the classic shark nose design that leads us down to these beautiful headlights. These

00:58 headlights feature the iconic Mercedes star and the light band is made of a mirrored chrome

01:03 material that adds an extra sense of style. These gorgeous flowing light bands that wrap

01:08 all the way around the front and lead us to the sides.

01:12 Coming down to the seamless grill, we have the central Mercedes star and star pattern

01:15 that surrounds it. Also, these lights are animated to add a dynamic and emotive feel

01:20 for the driver and the world around them. The whole front of this car looks fast, powerful,

01:25 and incredibly confident. Personally, I think it looks amazing.

01:29 This smooth design flows with us across the sides for a very sporty and dynamic look.

01:34 And it also gives us a peek at the 21 inch wheels. And that star pattern from the grill

01:39 surrounds the rims, which also feature these large wheel arches.

01:43 As we come over to the back of the vehicle, we can see these rear taillights, once again

01:47 with this expansive light band that carries over from the front. And it just wraps the

01:51 whole back half of the vehicle. Carrying across the design styling we see on the front, the

01:56 back of this car is also smooth, flowing, and sleek.

02:00 This car looks absolutely beautiful from all angles and it symbolizes iconic design and

02:04 dynamic performance. And the chassis contains almost fossil-free

02:08 steel and CO2 reduced aluminum. So not only is this car absolutely stunning, it uses sustainable

02:14 materials. So that's the exterior of the car. And if

02:18 you thought that was amazing, wait till you see the interior. Let's check it out.

02:34 When you step inside the car, you're immediately greeted with the huge sweeping display that

02:37 extends across the interior dashboard. And on either side, there's these digitally

02:42 visualized air vents that are actually seamlessly integrated behind the display, but still provide

02:47 a nice cooling breeze. The display system features Mercedes' proprietary

02:51 advanced operating system, MBOS, which is super well designed, incredibly responsive

02:56 and helpful with lots of personalization, assisted driving, and level 2 automated driving.

03:01 And this system is powered by a water-cooled chip developed by NVIDIA.

03:05 MBOS also puts you and your personality at the forefront, with new options for showcasing

03:10 digital art. There's also the comfortable steering wheel,

03:14 wireless charging section for your phone, the massive glass roof which bathes you in

03:18 natural light, ambient and hidden LED lighting throughout, and a very calm and relaxed color

03:23 palette. Not only is the interior of this car stunning

03:27 and beautiful, it also features many sustainable design choices and material choices as well.

03:32 Featuring paper trim around parts of the interior, sustainably produced and processed leather

03:36 enveloping the seats, tanned with only vegetable-based pigments, and a vegan silk-like fabric that

03:41 is soft and smooth, which lines the door pockets. The interior of the Concept CLA-Class is incredibly

03:47 futuristic and packed with tech, but it's also very comfortable in here and makes you

03:52 feel at home. It's like a spa in here.

03:54 Okay, so we've talked about the design of the Concept CLA-Class both inside and outside,

04:03 but let's talk about the performance and innovations that this car brings to the road.

04:07 The Concept CLA-Class is the first car to be built on the new electric-first MMA platform

04:13 by Mercedes-Benz. This vehicle shows us the advanced drive technology underpinning the

04:18 series production model. Built with innovations and discoveries from the incredible Vision

04:22 EQXX, the Concept CLA-Class takes it to the next level.

04:26 With an advanced 800V electric drivetrain and high-voltage electric driveline, this

04:31 car is fast and incredibly efficient. Giving you a range of over 750km on a single charge

04:36 with fast charging up to 250kW, you can get up to 400km in 15 minutes of charging. This

04:43 redefines the 1L car with consumption of around 12kWh per 100km.

04:49 So this has been a look at the Mercedes-Benz Concept CLA-Class, a peek into the future

04:54 of Mercedes-Benz's electric vehicle lineup. This car is an escape, it's a companion,

05:00 it's a piece of fashion. It's a car that reflects its driver, both with its distinct

05:05 personality, future-forward innovations inside and out, and absolutely stunning, unique design

05:11 elements.
