The small Mercedes wagon now has a price. Mercedes-Benz Australia has put both versions of the new CLA Shooting Brake into its configurator, one mild-hybrid petrol and one electric, each in a single CLA 200 grade. The electric costs $2,300.10 more on Mercedes' Sydney drive-away figures, which is a small gap for the step to a plug.
Key Takeaways
- Mercedes-Benz Australia's configurator prices the CLA 200 Shooting Brake at $76,934.45 and the CLA 200 Shooting Brake electric at $79,234.55, estimated drive-away for Sydney postcode 2000
- Outlets report $70,800 and $72,990 before on-road costs. We couldn't find those figures on a Mercedes-Benz Australia page
- One grade of each: a 120kW + 22kW petrol mild hybrid with front-wheel drive, and a 165kW rear-drive electric with a 58kWh usable battery and up to 511km WLTP
- Mercedes prints no date. Showrooms in January 2027 have been reported
- Boot space is reported at 455 litres, and we hold no ANCAP rating for either wagon
The questions for a buyer are simple ones. What does it cost on the road, how does it stack up against the CLA sedan and the wagons already on sale, and does the electric one land on the right side of the novated lease line? Here's what Mercedes has printed, and what has been reported but not confirmed.

The drive-away figures are Mercedes' own, from its configurator on 23 October 2026 for postcode 2000, and they bundle delivery, stamp duty, registration and CTP, so they'll move in other states. The breakdown shows no luxury car tax on either car. The before-on-roads prices are as reported, with several reports quoting the same two numbers; Mercedes' model pages show the estimated drive-away figure rather than a list price.
The configurator also prices three option packs on both cars: a Premium Package at $2,850.10, a Sport Package at $1,200.10 and a Winter Package at $400.40. The price listing names the packs without their contents, so check what's in each with a retailer.
Against the sedans, on the reported figures, the wagon costs $2,700 more than the CLA 200 sedan ($68,100 before on-roads, as we list it) and $790 more than the CLA 200 Electric sedan ($72,200). For the electric car that's a small premium for the longer roof.

Novated lease
Electric, with an RRP under the $91,661 fuel-efficient LCT threshold (2026-27): under the ATO's electric cars exemption a novated lease of an eligible electric car attracts no FBT if luxury car tax was never payable on it. The benefit is still reportable.

The Specs Mercedes-Benz Australia Prints

Mercedes also quotes 165 to 200km of WLTP range added in 10 minutes of DC charging. A couple of reports quote a different battery size and a higher charging peak for the electric wagon; the table sticks to what Mercedes-Benz Australia prints. Its equipment list separately mentions an on-board AC charger of up to 22kW without saying whether it's standard, so we're treating the 11kW in the technical data as the baseline.
The same goes for equipment generally. Both pages list items such as a Burmester sound system, a panoramic roof and a Memory Package (the electric page adds a head-up display), but they don't mark what's standard on an Australian car, and the MBUX Superscreen is described as optional. Until a spec sheet separates them, we're not calling any of it standard.
Is It a Practical Wagon?
Mercedes-Benz Australia hasn't printed a boot figure. It's been reported at 455 litres with the seats up, 1,290 litres folded, and a 101-litre front boot on the electric. If that holds, it's 50 litres more than the 405 litres we list for the sedan, and short of the Skoda Superb Wagon (634 litres), the Toyota bZ4X Touring (603) and the CUPRA Leon Sportstourer (470). It's a sleek wagon with a hatch, not a family load-lugger, and the 40:20:40 split rear seat Mercedes describes is the useful bit for long items.

The Tax Lines
Neither wagon attracts luxury car tax on Mercedes' configurator. The electric one is the car to watch for novated leases. As general information for 2026-27, an electric car can be exempt from FBT if its value is under the $91,661 fuel-efficient LCT threshold. The 2026-27 Budget proposes that from 1 April 2027 the full exemption would be limited to electric cars valued at $75,000 or less, with a 25 per cent discount between that and the LCT threshold. The ATO says that measure is not yet law.
On the reported $72,990 before on-roads, the electric wagon sits $2,010 under that proposed $75,000 line before options. Options count towards the value, and the Premium Package alone is $2,850.10 on the configurator, more than that headroom. Lease providers work from the exact build, so ask them to run yours. The mild hybrid isn't eligible for the electric car exemption.
Tax and incentive figures current as of 23 October 2026
Thresholds, rebates and rules on this page change each financial year. We check them against the ATO and state revenue offices, but always confirm the current position with the relevant authority before you sign. The $91,661 fuel-efficient luxury car tax threshold applies for 2026-27 and is reindexed each 1 July. The 2026-27 Budget FBT change proposed from 1 April 2027 is a proposal and not yet law (ATO, last updated 14 May 2026). This is general information, not tax advice.

Electric wagons are thin on the ground. In our listings, the electric wagons on sale right now are the Toyota bZ4X Touring AWD and two Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo versions, the 4S and the Turbo. The Zeekr 7GT is coming without a price yet, and the Avatr 06T is due in the second half of 2027.

Current price on CarSorted: Toyota bZ4X Touring AWD $69,990 RRP, as at 14 Nov 2026; Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class CLA 200 Electric $72,200 RRP, as at 4 Jul 2026; CUPRA Leon Sportstourer VZe $69,990 RRP, as at 24 Jun 2026; Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class CLA 200 $68,100 RRP, as at 4 Jul 2026.
The bases differ, so line them up carefully: the drive-away figures are Victorian, and Mercedes' wagon figures are Sydney drive-away. It's also been reported that the original CLA Shooting Brake was sold here and the second generation was skipped; we list the old CLA 200 Shooting Brake from 2015. A dual-motor CLA 350 4MATIC Shooting Brake electric has been reported to follow, which Mercedes hasn't announced.

Prices are each car's listed price on CarSorted, before on-road costs. Mercedes-Benz and Toyota are list prices; the CUPRA and Skoda figures are our labelled estimates, because those brands publish drive-away prices. The CLA Shooting Brake is not shown because its rows do not hold specifications yet. Figures come from our car database, which is built from Australian manufacturer documents. A blank field reads “No data” rather than a zero or a dash.
What This Means for Buyers
If the electric wagon is on your list, the $2,300.10 drive-away gap to the petrol car is the number to sit with. It buys 511km of WLTP range and a car that may suit a novated lease, subject to the build and to rules that aren't settled. Keep an eye on options if the proposed $75,000 line matters to you.
If you need real cargo space, the Superb and bZ4X Touring give you more of it, by our figures, for similar money. If you want a CLA and the sedan's boot lid was the sticking point, the wagon fixes that for a reported $790 to $2,700 more. Either way, there's no rush: showrooms are reported for January 2027, and we'll fill in the electric and mild-hybrid listings as Mercedes publishes more. You can run your own numbers in our lease calculator.
Safety: no data. ANCAP hasn't rated the CLA Shooting Brake in our records, and we don't carry a rating across from the sedan.
