Mercedes-Benz has announced that it will reveal the first electric C-Class on 20th April 2026, as a rival to the BMW i3.

It has revealed the car’s interior, which shares its full-dashboard Hyperscreen with the GLC with EQ Technology.

Mercedes-Benz said the electric model will be the sportiest C-Class ever, with a new level of comfort and quality, as well as a cutting-edge digital experience.

As on the GLC, a Vegan Package will be offered, which uses soft-touch materials on the seats, headliner and carpets, and is certified by The Vegan Society.

The car will be fitted with ‘high-end’ seats, which can adapt to the natural curvature of the spine to provide relief and are fitted with a massage function, ventilation, as well as a 4D sound system.

Ambient lighting will be optional, including 162 illuminated stars in the SKY CONTROL panoramic sunroof.

A range of ENERGISING COMFORT programmes will be integrated, with display animations, sound and seat movements intended to soothe drivers on long journeys.

Mercedes-Benz has developed an automatic climate control for the electric C-Class, which can heat the interior twice as fast as an internal combustion (ICE) car, while only dehumidifying as much as required to maintain temperature to prevent dry eyes.
