Off the line, the CLA 250+ with EQ technology hits 100 km/h in 6.83 s versus 7.20 s for the Cooper E FWD. At this point, the CLA 250+ with EQ technology leads by 0.37 s and sits roughly 2 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the CLA 250+ with EQ technology is doing 128 km/h against 124 km/h for the Cooper E FWD. The gap is 0.19 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the CLA 250+ with EQ technology crosses the line in 15.00 s versus 15.37 s. The 0.37 s gap represents roughly 16 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the CLA 250+ with EQ technology continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 176 km/h versus 160 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the CLA 250+ with EQ technology finishes in 26.90 s versus 28.93 s, with a 2.03 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the CLA 250+ with EQ technology is capped at 210 km/h, the Cooper E FWD at 160 km/h. This isn’t a physical engine limit — it’s a manufacturer choice, usually for tyre safety or homologation reasons. Neither car reaches its true aerodynamic top speed.
With two electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (7.56 kg/hp vs 7.58 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.15 seconds. The 0.37 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
