The Mercedes-Benz C-Class Electric is a battery electric compact executive car manufactured by Mercedes-Benz. Despite the name, it is not related to the internal combustion engine C-Class.

Overview

The C-Class EV was teased during the launch event of the Mercedes-Benz GLC Electric at the 2025 Munich Motor Show, revealing parts of its exterior design, including a similar illuminated grille to that of the GLC Electric.

It officially debuted on 20 April 2026, in one version – the C 400 4MATIC electric. Long-wheelbase models for China will be assembled by Beijing Benz, while the rest of the world will receive models built in Hungary.

Design and specifications

Similar to the related GLC Electric, the C-Class Electric features an illuminated grille including 1,050 LEDs and an illuminated three-pointed star logo. The profile is described to be “coupe-like”, though it still adopts a traditional trunk.

The interior features the optional continuous 39.1-inch “Hyperscreen” display, Burmester sound system, seat heating, ventilation and massage functions, as well as a “Sky Control” panoramic sunroof that includes a dimming feature and 162 illuminated stars. In addition to the 470 L (17 cu ft) trunk, it also features a 107 L (3.8 cu ft) frunk.

The C-Class Electric also rides on the 800-volt “MB.EA” electrical architecture. Up to 497 mi (800 km) of WLTP range and a maximum charging rate of 330 kW, adding 198 mi (319 km) of range in 10 minutes. The airmatic air suspension system is available optionally, with rear-wheel steering that provides 4.5 degrees of opposite steer to reduce the turning circle to 11.2 m (37 ft), and 2.5 degrees of steer in the same direction as the front wheels for stability.
