Overview
- Mercedes debuted the first all‑electric C‑Class in Seoul on Monday, confirming the C400 4Matic with a roughly 94 kWh battery, up to 760–762 km WLTP range and DC fast charging that can add up to 325 km in 10 minutes pending local certification.
- Built on an 800‑volt MB.EA platform, the sedan uses dual motors with about 482 hp, a two‑speed gearbox on the rear axle, a front‑motor disconnect for efficiency and bidirectional charging for vehicle‑to‑home or device power where rules allow.
- An optional 39.1‑inch MBUX Hyperscreen spans the dash as MB.OS brings over‑the‑air updates and an AI voice assistant that taps ChatGPT, Microsoft and Google, with Nvidia’s Alpamayo driver‑assist stack planned subject to regulatory approval.
- Mercedes outlined a phased rollout with Europe first, Australia in early 2027 and the United States in 2027, with pricing and some market‑specific details to follow closer to launch.
- The Korea premiere underscores supplier moves, including a new long‑term Samsung SDI battery deal and LG’s role in the Hyperscreen, as Mercedes folds EVs into its core lineup and targets dozens of new electric models by 2027.
