Mercedes-Benz unveiled the all-new electric C-Class on April 20, pitching it as the brand’s first battery-powered C-Class sedan with up to 762 kilometers of WLTP range. (media.mbusa.com) The launch model is the C 400 4MATIC electric, with a 94-kilowatt-hour usable battery, dual motors producing 360 kilowatts, and a 0-to-100-kilometer-per-hour time of 4.0 seconds. (media.mbusa.com) (electrek.co) Mercedes said the car can charge at up to 330 kilowatts on 800-volt fast chargers and recover as much as 325 kilometers of WLTP range in 10 minutes. (media.mbusa.com) (automotiveworld.com) Those numbers matter because the C-Class is one of Mercedes-Benz’s highest-volume nameplates, and the company is now moving that badge into the core premium electric-sedan fight. (media.mbusa.com) Mercedes is aiming directly at cars such as Tesla’s Model 3 and BMW’s coming electric i3 sedan, while keeping the combustion C-Class on sale alongside the new electric version. (electrek.co) (mercedesblog.com) The company said a rear-wheel-drive variant will follow in 2027 with an expected WLTP range of around 800 kilometers, extending the range headline beyond the launch car’s 762 kilometers. (electrek.co) The car rides on a dedicated electric platform shared with the new GLC electric vehicle, not a modified gasoline C-Class architecture. (carandbike.com) Mercedes also said the body starts at a 0.22 drag coefficient, a measure of aerodynamic slipperiness that helps cut energy use at highway speeds. (electrek.co) Inside, the optional 39.1-inch MBUX Hyperscreen spans the dashboard, and the software stack runs Mercedes-Benz Operating System with integrations including ChatGPT-4o, Google Gemini, and Microsoft Bing. (theevreport.com) For now, Mercedes is still using preliminary figures and said the published values are forecasts rather than final certified results. (mercedes-benz.com) That leaves the headline intact but provisional: a C-Class EV with 762 kilometers of claimed range now, and an 800-kilometer rear-drive version promised next year.
