Ahead of its global debut on April 20, 2026, Mercedes-Benz has pulled back the curtain on the interior of the upcoming all-electric C-Class. Built on the new 800V MB.EA architecture, this luxury sedan is positioning itself as a high-tech “refuge” designed to take on rivals like the BMW i3 Neue Klasse.
The Dashboard: A Digital Masterpiece
The focal point of the cabin is the MBUX Hyperscreen, a gargantuan display setup that effectively replaces the traditional dashboard with glass and pixels.
-
Hyperscreen (Upper Trims): A seamless 39.1-inch display stretching nearly the entire width of the car. It features roughly 10 million pixels and integrates almost all vehicle functions into a “zero-layer” interface to minimize menu diving.
-
Superscreen (Lower Trims): A triple-display layout featuring a 10.3-inch digital cluster for the driver and twin 14-inch infotainment screens for the center and passenger areas.
-
Tactile Controls: Despite the screen dominance, physical buttons remain on the steering wheel and center console for critical functions like climate and audio.
Luxury & Wellness Features
Mercedes is leaning heavily into “Energizing Comfort” to differentiate the C-Class EV from its internal combustion predecessors.
| Feature | Details |
| Seating | Electro-pneumatic 4-way lumbar support, massage, ventilation, and 4D audio integration. |
| Climate | A multi-source heat pump that heats the cabin twice as fast as gas models while using 50% less energy. |
| Ambience | 10 customizable lighting themes and an optional panoramic sunroof featuring 162 illuminated stars. |
| Materials | A mix of vegan-certified fabrics, Softtorino textures, and traditional Nappa leather. |
Performance Specs (Projected)
While the full reveal is days away, the shared underpinnings with the GLC EV provide a clear picture of the sedan’s capabilities:
-
Range: Approximately 673 km (WLTP) thanks to a 94 kWh battery.
-
Power: Up to 483 hp from a dual-motor setup.
-
Efficiency: The 800V system ensures ultra-fast charging, significantly reducing downtime on long trips.
By utilizing a dedicated EV platform, the C-Class EV offers substantially more legroom and interior volume than previous generations, successfully transitioning the “C-Class” badge into the era of sustainable, high-performance luxury.
