Mercedes did a showcase a few years back, they built a car with 100 kWh battery and managed to drive more than 1000 km without charging. But this was not for sale.
And some of that technology will be in the new CLA, delivery beginning in the next weeks/ this summer. 792 km of (WLTP) range with a 85 kWh battery. THAT is interesting. For comparison, according to this calculator that is similar to 966 km in CLTC.
With the same 150 kWh battery the CLA could reach 1700 km in CLTC (a bit less, because the battery would be heavier, etc.). Or the other way around, the CLA would “only” need a battery of 93 kWh for the same range. Of course these are only a ballpark figure, the reality would be somewhat worse for the CLA. At least to me the CLA is still the more interesting car.
