Mercedes-Benz has officially unveiled the first all-electric C-Class, marking a pivotal chapter in the history of its most popular model series. Combining the brand’s 140-year heritage with pioneering electric architecture, the new saloon is designed to be the sportiest and most intelligent C-Class ever built.

A Digital Sanctuary: The Future of Interior Comfort
The interior is designed as a personal “sanctuary,” reinterpreting luxury through the “Welcome home” philosophy.
- Immersive Tech: The 39.1-inch MBUX Hyperscreen features matrix backlight technology with over 1,000 individual LEDs for exceptional clarity.
