New Delhi: Mercedes-Benz will launch the electric C-Class next week, and ahead of its full reveal, the brand has given a preview of the car’s interior, showing what the high-tech cabin will look like. The electric C-Class will come with either the MBUX Hyperscreen, which is a single, pillar-to-pillar display, or the MBUX Superscreen, which features three distinct screens under a seamless piece of glass.
The C-Class cabin looks quite like the GLC one, including the new seat, the star-covered Sky Control panoramic roof and the vegan interior package. The car will also get a newly made automatic climate control system, which the automaker has claimed will heat up the interior twice as quickly as any internal combustion-powered model.
Mercedes will be giving the complete unveiling of the electric C-Class on April 20th. The automaker should be revealing the powertrain details and other specs as well.

What do we know about the C-Class EV?
Last September, Mercedes had already teased the C-Class without a combustion engine as part of what the brand calls the “biggest product and tech launch program in the company’s history”. It will mirror the technical specifications of the new GLC with the EQ technology.
Other things noticed were the quarter glass being located beyond the back doors, a configuration usually seen with the Maybach S-Class, something even the new CLA adopts. Even though details have been scarce, what we do know right now is that on the WLTP cycle, it can do about 800 km.
From the image, it was clear that Mercedes was planning to use its “reimagined iconic grille”, complete with contour lighting and a smoked-glass-look lattice structure, something it has deployed across their entire lineup. When it arrives, the C-Class EV will be a direct rival to the i3. Mercedes is roaring into the whole EV scene and it will be an interesting saloon to see when unveiled.
