Mercedes-Benz reveals C-Class EV: 473-mile range, air suspension

Mercedes-Benz has revealed the C-Class electric vehicle (EV), which has up to 473 miles of range and optional AIRMATIC air suspension.

It can add up to 202 miles of range in 10 minutes with fast charging and has a 94kWh battery.

Like the GLC with EQ Technology, it has a 39-inch, dashboard-wide Hyperscreen.

Unlike the electric GLC, Mercedes-Benz has dropped the ‘EQ Technology’ brand in favour of naming it the C-Class electric.

Mercedes-Benz said that the air suspension and optional rear wheel steering make it the sportiest C-Class ever made, while having a level of comfort comparable to an S-Class.

It uses Car-to-X technology, as well as Google Maps data, to adapt the dampers to local road conditions.

The rear wheels can turn by up to 4.5 degrees, giving the C-Class EV an 11.2-metre turning circle.

It has been fitted with an advanced climate control system which can heat up twice as fast as the system in an internal combustion (ICE) car, while using half the energy due to a heat pump.
