Off the line, the CLA 350 4MATIC with EQ technology hits 100 km/h in 4.95 s versus 7.45 s for the MONA M03. At this point, the CLA 350 4MATIC with EQ technology leads by 2.51 s and sits roughly 28 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the CLA 350 4MATIC with EQ technology is doing 139 km/h against 126 km/h for the MONA M03. The gap is 1.74 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the CLA 350 4MATIC with EQ technology crosses the line in 13.32 s versus 15.48 s. The 2.16 s gap represents roughly 90 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the CLA 350 4MATIC with EQ technology continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 190 km/h versus 174 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the CLA 350 4MATIC with EQ technology finishes in 24.37 s versus 27.51 s, with a 3.14 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (210 vs 200 km/h), preventing any comeback.
The CLA 350 4MATIC with EQ technology features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the MONA M03’s RWD. At low speeds (0-30, 0-50, 0-80 km/h), AWD doubles the driven contact area: all four wheels transmit torque to the road, virtually eliminating wheelspin at launch. This traction advantage is decisive in the range where the motor delivers peak torque, before power and aerodynamics take over.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the CLA 350 4MATIC with EQ technology is capped at 210 km/h, the MONA M03 at 200 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 (6.03 kg/hp vs 7.60 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 10.92 seconds. The 2.51 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
