Mercedes‑Benz sets a new standard in the use of vegan materials and is the first automaker worldwide to offer an independently certified vegan interior. First introduced in the all-electric GLC, the all-new electric C-Class is the second vehicle in the world with an available vegan interior certified by The Vegan Society. The Vegan Package includes all soft-touch surface materials in the interior – from the seat upholstery and the headliner to the pillars, door panels and carpeting.
Excellent thermal comfort in all weather conditions
The all-new electric C‑Class pushes the boundaries of efficiency and thermal comfort. The newly developed automatic climate control ensures a pleasant, comfortable cabin temperature in winter – even without pre-conditioning. For example, during a 20-minute journey in 19° F weather, the interior heats up twice as fast as models equipped with combustion engines – and thanks to the multi-source heat pump only requires about half the energy. The heating process begins automatically as soon as customers enter the vehicle. In addition, the automatic climate control dehumidifies and cools the interior only as much as necessary to maintain the desired interior temperature, helping to prevent dry eyes.
An innovative multi-source, heat pump – fitted standard – can use three energy sources in parallel: waste heat from the electric drive, the battery as well as the ambient air. By using this “free” heat, the heat pump also contributes to the high efficiency of the all-new electric C‑Class. It requires approximately a third of the electrical energy that a comparable auxiliary heater would need to deliver the same output.
Exceptional acoustic comfort
The aerodynamic acoustics of the all-new electric C‑Class contribute to the remarkably quiet interior. In addition to a very rigid bodyshell and an aerodynamically optimized design, a number of other measures in the new electric C-Class contribute to the high level of acoustic and vibrational comfort. These include, for example, extensive sound insulation from the front to the rear, decoupling elastomer mounts between the suspension and body, a special design of the electric motors, as well as the new air conditioning unit. In addition, the front windows are fitted standard with noise-insulating laminated safety glass.
Exhilarating: The sportiest C-Class ever
The all-new electric C‑Class takes dynamics and ride comfort in its segment to a new level. It takes on every curve with unrivalled agility and precision. On long journeys, a level of smoothness and comfort on par with the S‑Class is possible. The electric C‑Class offers the perfect blend of sporty driving dynamics and high long-distance comfort. A powerful electric motor with an innovative two-speed transmission on the rear axle is core to the driving experience. The optional AIRMATIC air suspension with intelligent suspension control and optional 4.5-degree rear-axle steering, offers a particularly wide spread between the “Comfort” and “Sport” drive programs.
Sprinter and marathon runner in one: The new two-speed transmission
The electric drive unit features a permanently excited synchronous motor (PSM) on the rear axle. Battery-to-wheel efficiency over long distances is 93 percent. An innovative two-speed transmission on the rear axle combines high efficiency with strong performance. Power is transmitted in first gear via claws and in second gear via discs. The first gear has a short ratio of 11:1, enabling excellent acceleration from a standstill and greater efficiency even in city driving. The second gear (ratio 5:1) is designed for power delivery at higher speeds and efficiency in highway driving, ensuring excellent range and comfort on long journeys. The shift points are based on the driving situation and the selected DYNAMIC SELECT drive program.
4MATIC with disconnect unit: Additional power only when needed
The C 400 4MATIC Electric is equipped with a powerful electric motor on the front axle that functions as a “boost” drive. Depending on the driving situation and driving program, it is activated via a disconnect unit (DCU), for example when the corresponding power or traction is needed for the driving situation. Under low load, the electric motor is almost instantaneously decoupled for greater efficiency. This reduces losses on the front axle by up to 90 percent and increases the range.
Optional AIRMATIC and rear-axle steering: maximum agility and comfort thanks to predictive intelligence
Even the standard comfort suspension, with its fast-acting amplitude-selective damping and very direct steering, delivers excellent driving dynamics and outstanding ride comfort. It is based on a sophisticated four-link front axle and an advanced multi-link rear axle.
The optional Agility & Comfort package takes these qualities to the highest level, establishing a new benchmark. It includes the new AIRMATIC air suspension with intelligent suspension control and rear-axle steering. In the all-new electric C‑Class, the air suspension lowers the vehicle when the “Sport” drive program is selected, enhancing both driving dynamics and stability. The AIRMATIC air suspension simply absorbs uneven road surfaces and now also features intelligent, predictive damping. This innovation significantly increases ride comfort. It automatically adjusts damping just before the vehicle encounters a speed bump. This makes every journey in the all-new electric C‑Class a smooth and sublime experience, just like in an S‑Class. The intelligent suspension control uses Car-to-X4 information from other Mercedes‑Benz vehicles driving ahead, transmitted in real time to the Mercedes‑Benz Intelligent Cloud.
The AIRMATIC air suspension also operates intelligently with automatic ride height control. For greater efficiency and range, it uses technology based on Google Maps to keep the vehicle as low as possible for as long as possible. Conventional ride height systems respond solely to speed, raising the vehicle whenever, for example, a construction zone or traffic jam causes the driver to slow down. The system, however, “knows” the vehicle is still on the highway and continuously maintains the low ride height setting.
The available rear-axle steering further improves agility and stability. With a steering angle of up to 4.5 degrees, it reduces the turning circle by nearly three feet to 36.7 feet. At speeds of 44 mph and above, the rear wheels steer up to 2.5 degrees in parallel with the front wheels, delivering enhanced stability and safety at high speeds.
Drive with confidence
At market launch, the 482-hp C 400 4MATIC Electric will be available. The sporty model sprints from 0-60 mph in 3.9 seconds and has up to 762 kilometers2 of electric range. Thanks to 800-volt technology, up to 325 kilometers of range (WLTP) can be charged in as little as 10 minutes3. The electric C-Class is able to cover well over 1,000 kilometers with just one brief charging stop. This corresponds, for example, to a trip from Porto to Bordeaux (1,006 km), from Basel to Barcelona (1,036 km) or from Berlin to Paris (1,054 km).
The C 400 4MATIC has a new lithium-ion battery with a 94-kWh usable capacity. DC fast charging up to 330 kW is possible at 800-volt charging stations. A DC converter is fitted standard to also enable charging at 400-volt charging stations.
One-box braking system: Confident brake pedal feel and excellent recuperation performance
The new one-box braking system optimizes recuperation to maximize electric range. It ensures a consistent, confident brake pedal feel at all times. For efficiency reasons, almost all braking processes are carried out entirely by recuperation. Even during ABS braking on icy roads, it can recuperate energy to ensure maximum efficiency. Recuperation power up to 300 kW is possible. In principle, the all-new electric C‑Class can even brake electrically to a standstill, thus recovering kinetic energy. The driver can adjust the level of recuperation using the steering wheel shift paddles.
Intuitive: A revolutionary new world of intelligent digital experiences
The all-new electric C‑Class is now more intelligent than ever, providing drivers with an elevated level of comfort and convenience. MB.OS manages all domains of the vehicle and connects them into an intelligent ecosystem – from infotainment and comfort, driving performance and charging to driver assistance.

Connected to the Mercedes‑Benz Intelligent Cloud, MB.OS enables regular over-the-air updates1 of the entire vehicle software to keep the all-new electric C‑Class up to date and refreshed.
MBUX Hyperscreen: High-tech in a class of its own for a unique driving experience
The new optional MBUX Hyperscreen offers an unrivalled holistic driving and spatial experience. At 39.1 inches, it is the largest continuous screen ever available in a C‑Class. It boasts exceptional sharpness thanks to high resolution and innovative matrix backlight technology with over 1,000 individual LEDs. The brightness of the display areas can be adjusted independently. For example, the brightness of the display area for the front passenger can be adjusted without changing the brightness of the instrument cluster.
An optional MBUX Superscreen is also available, which integrates three displays under a large, sleek glass surface. Both display concepts are controlled by state-of-the-art high-performance chips and feature real-time graphics from the Unity Game Engine.
On vehicles equipped with the optional MBUX Superscreen or MBUX Hyperscreen, entertainment features are available to the front passenger on the passenger display while the vehicle is in motion as long as the driver’s gaze is kept on the road and not on the passenger display6.
New generation MBUX: Exceptionally intuitive and personal thanks to artificial intelligence
The fourth generation MBUX is the first in-car infotainment system to combine artificial intelligence (AI) from ChatGPT4o and Microsoft Bing as well as Google Gemini, making optimum use of the strengths of the different models depending on the situation. With this unique multi-agent approach, the MBUX Virtual Assistant revolutionizes the relationship between the vehicle and driver. It is exceptionally intuitive and personal. Like a friend, the virtual assistant can conduct complex, multi-turn conversations and has a short-term memory. As a “living” avatar, it is always present on the MBUX Zero Layer. The MBUX Virtual Assistant adapts its color to the selected ambient style and uses animations to indicate what it is currently doing. It is activated by the “Hey Mercedes” keyword.
Digital Extras1: Tailor-made customization
Customers can flexibly customize the new electric C‑Class even after purchase with a growing portfolio of Digital Extras1 in the Mercedes-Benz Store and the Mercedes-Benz app. A variety of apps are available including audio, video, gaming and other services. In the app grid, customers can arrange and group apps into personalized folders, similar to a smartphone.
Intelligent navigation based on Google technology
In the all-new electric C‑Class, MB.OS enables a navigation experience based on Google technology. Developed as part of the partnership between Google and Mercedes‑Benz, the navigation solution is one of the first systems to integrate Google Cloud’s new Automotive AI Agent for in-vehicle conversational services in conjunction with Google Maps.
Roadwork ahead? Or a steep mountain pass to negotiate? Factors like these can have a significant impact on range. The Digital Extra: MBUX Navigation with Electric Intelligence1 therefore responds to many more variables than conventional route guidance systems. It thinks not only in terms of distance but also in terms of energy, context and situation. MBUX Navigation with Electric Intelligence plans the fastest and most comfortable route, including charging stops when required, based on numerous factors. It responds dynamically to traffic jams or changes in driving style. Mercedes‑Benz is also continuously developing the energy forecast for Navigation with Electric Intelligence. In the future, the predicted wind conditions along the route and the height of the vehicle will also be considered even more accurately.
The intelligent navigation system calculates when a charging stop is necessary and automatically plans it in such a way that the total travel time is optimized. In some circumstances, two short charging stops with a higher charging power can be quicker than one longer charging stop. In addition, the vehicle’s charging settings are automatically adjusted by Navigation with Electric Intelligence and optimized for fast charging along the route – including the preconditioning of the high-voltage battery so that it is at the optimum temperature for DC fast charging at the right time.
MBUX Surround Navigation and MBUX Augmented Reality Head-up Display
MBUX Surround Navigation also takes visual interaction to a new dimension. Supported by cameras and sensors, it displays a real‑time 3D representation of the vehicle and its surroundings on the driver display. Drivers benefit from enhanced situational awareness.
A new optional MBUX Augmented Reality Head‑Up Display is available on the C‑Class for the first time. It presents relevant information and route guidance for the driver in an 18-inch display area. The virtual color image appears in the field of view.
MB.DRIVE: Advanced driver and parking assistance systems7
The all-new electric C-Class is equipped standard with a water-cooled high-performance supercomputer with sufficient power reserves for future functions, and cameras and sensors for first-class driver assistance features. Artificial intelligence processes the sensor data in real time to assess the driving situation.

Optional Digital Extra: MB.DRIVE ASSIST1 and Digital Extra: MB.DRIVE ASSIST PRO1,5 offer even further advanced driver assistance features. The “CITY PRO” feature that enables a seamless point-to-point driving experience – even in heavy city traffic, will be available at a later date.
The Digital Extra: Reverse maneuvering function1 enables the vehicle to automatically reverse part of the route most recently driven, with system support available under certain conditions. While this feature is active, the image from the reversing camera and a graphic representation of the planned route are displayed on the central multimedia display. This is especially useful for customers during traffic situations where a maneuver to turn the vehicle around is not possible.
Comprehensive equipment and new safety technology for dynamic cornering
The all-new electric C‑Class has been developed from the ground up with state-of-the-art safety features, including crumple zones, a rigid passenger cell and restraint systems with seatbelts and up to 11 airbags. The front center airbag is fitted standard, in addition to knee airbags for both driver and front passenger.
PRE-SAFE®, included standard, can detect critical driving situations at an early stage, provide warning and initiate precautionary protective measures. The new PRE‑SAFE® curve function is also available. When Digital Extra: MBUX Navigation1 route guidance is active, this function can provide warning to the driver by tightening the seatbelt when the system detects the vehicle speed is significantly too fast for an upcoming curve on the route.
Brighter and more efficient: DIGITAL LIGHT with micro-LED technology
The optional new generation DIGITAL LIGHT headlamps feature innovative micro-LED technology and a powerful new processor. The system produces a larger high-resolution illumination field and is also up to 50 percent more efficient than the previous design. All software modules are integrated into MB.OS.
