Mercedes Previews C‑Class EV With a Dashboard‑Spanning Screen

The screen‑first cabin signals a software‑led luxury push targeting buyers who prize in‑car tech.

Overview

  • Mercedes has released an interior preview of its all‑electric C‑Class, showing an optional 39.1‑inch single‑piece display that runs nearly the full width of the dash.
  • Many controls move on‑screen, with climate and seat heat accessed through the display and only a small set of physical buttons left on the console and wheel.
  • The compact sedan sits on Mercedes’ 800‑volt MB.EA platform, the same architecture used by the GLC EQ, which is designed for long range and faster charging.
  • A preview image shows 684 km of range at 90% charge, implying roughly 760 km on a full battery under WLTP‑style estimates, a figure that may not match EPA ratings.
  • Mercedes plans a full public unveiling on April 20 in South Korea, as reviewers weigh the wow factor of big screens against concerns over usability and the loss of tactile controls.
