New Mercedes C-Class Electric Vehicle Features a Starry Rear and High-Tech Interior | Carscoops

      The well-known sedan is undergoing a thrilling transformation, taking inspiration from the CLA.

      The camouflage on the new Mercedes C-Class EV is being removed, with a debut scheduled for next year. The model will utilize the new MB.EA platform and will likely share many features with the forthcoming GLC EV.

      Mercedes is developing an updated C-Class while also preparing to launch a fully electric version. However, the two models will not share much beyond their name.

      It is expected that the car will be referred to as the C-Class with EQ Technology. While the name may not be particularly catchy, the vehicle boasts a fully sealed grille and a slim central intake. It also features sweptback headlights, though these are temporary and will probably be replaced by production-ready starry lights.

      As for the design, it includes sleek bodywork and door handles that sit flush with the surface. The electric sedan has a beltline that rises towards the rear, reminiscent of the EQE and EQS. Additionally, it is equipped with stylish two-tone wheels and prominent side skirts that conceal the battery pack.

      Although numerous prototypes have been captured by spy photographers over the past year, this particular one is distinct for showcasing a production-ready rear end, which includes an angular trunk with an integrated spoiler and circular taillights akin to those of the CLA, along with a rather plain rounded bumper.

      Spy photographers were unable to gain a good view of the interior this time, but earlier images have indicated that the cabin will feature advanced technology similar to the CLA. This suggests that it will include a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, a 14-inch infotainment display, and a 14-inch screen for the front passenger.

      While the final design is yet to be confirmed, the interior is expected to have an elegant steering wheel and slender air vents. There will also be a camera within the cabin, alongside a minimalist aesthetic that minimizes the use of physical controls.

      Mercedes has not shared much information about the vehicle, but it will be built on the new MB.EA platform and will likely share many characteristics with the GLC EV. This implies that it should feature an 800-volt architecture and support DC fast charging rates exceeding 320 kW.

      The car is anticipated to offer both rear- and all-wheel drive powertrains, along with a standard heat pump. It may also incorporate advanced batteries featuring distinctive cell chemistry, as well as a novel braking system that fuses the brake booster, master cylinder, and electronic stability control system into a single compact module.
