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.
