Mercedes unveils electric C-Class with 39.1 inch MBUX Hyperscreen ahead of 20 April South Korea launch
By Eve
Mercedes has revealed the interior of its first electric only C-Class ahead of its official launch on Monday, 20 April, in South Korea. The sixth generation model features a 39.1 inch MBUX Hyperscreen spanning the dashboard, rides on the 800V MB.EA platform shared with the electric GLC, and promises over 450 miles of range. The cabin is the world's second Vegan Society certified car interior and includes largely buttonless controls with tactile switches below the screen.
Why it matters: The electric C-Class's 450 mile plus range and 800V architecture signal Mercedes' push into the high volume executive EV segment, potentially driving demand for faster charging infrastructure at workplace and destination sites. Fleet operators and charge point operators serving premium segments should note the vehicle's April launch timeline for capacity planning.
