Mercedes‑Benz has taken the wraps off the first glimpses of the upcoming all‑electric C‑Class, the brand’s flagship compact luxury sedan. The teaser images showcase a radically re‑imagined front end that is already sparking debate among enthusiasts.
Striking New Front‑End Design
The most eye‑catching element is the expanded illuminated grille that spreads across the nose instead of the sleek, narrowed treatment seen on rivals like BMW and Audi. Mercedes appears to be using this glowing lattice as the visual centerpiece, reminiscent of Rolls‑Royce’s Pantheon grille.
Rendered graphics reveal a chrome‑ or silver‑trimmed frame surrounding three horizontal bars, with hundreds of tiny LEDs adding a sparkling effect. Flanking the grille are new lighting clusters that combine a three‑point star‑shaped daytime running light—now a hallmark of the latest Mercedes branding—with sophisticated LED signatures.
Potential Lift‑Back Silhouette
While official details are still pending, rumors suggest the EV will adopt a lift‑back silhouette similar to the new Audi A5, giving the rear a smoother, more aerodynamic profile compared with the conventional sedan lines of the gasoline C‑Class.
The slim LED tail‑lamp strip runs along a black‑gloss panel that stretches the full width of the car, reinforcing the modern look.
Future‑Proof Interior Tech
Inside, Mercedes is expected to equip the EV with a massive 39.1‑inch MBUX Hyperscreen that spans the entire dashboard, echoing the setup in the GLC‑EQ. An alternative could be a new Superscreen layout borrowed from the CLA, featuring a 10.25‑inch digital instrument cluster and dual 14‑inch screens for infotainment and the front passenger.
Powertrain, Battery and Range
Built on the brand‑new MB.EA architecture, the C‑Class EV will house a 94 kWh battery pack with an 800‑volt system, supporting ultra‑fast charging up to 330 kW. Mercedes claims the sedan can travel up to 800 km (about 497 miles) on a single charge, surpassing the GLC‑EQ’s 713 km range.
The first model, the C 400, combines two electric motors for a combined output of 483 hp, propelling the car from 0‑100 km/h in under 5 seconds. High‑performance AMG variants are also in development, spotted with 21‑inch wheels and carbon‑ceramic brakes.
Launch Schedule
Mercedes plans to unveil the C‑Class EQ by the end of this year, with global sales expected to kick off in early 2027.
