Mercedes-Benz Unveils 2027 Electric C-Class Sedan

Mercedes-Benz unveiled its first all-electric C-Class sedan on Monday, introducing the 2027 C 400 4MATIC Electric as a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive model with 482 horsepower and an estimated 473-mile range under WLTP testing. The vehicle, built on the dedicated MB.EA electric platform, marks the luxury brand's shift to electrify one of its core nameplates, with initial deliveries expected in U.S. dealerships during the first half of 2027.

The C 400 4MATIC combines a 94.5-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery with an 800-volt architecture, enabling up to 330 kilowatts of DC fast charging. This allows the sedan to gain approximately 201 miles of range in 10 minutes at compatible stations, or charge from 10 percent to 80 percent in 22 minutes. Mercedes-Benz officials noted that the car's aerodynamic design, with a drag coefficient of 0.22, contributes to its efficiency, enabling a single recharge to cover more than 650 miles, such as the distance from Berlin to Paris. A rear-wheel-drive variant with around 497 miles of range is planned for 2028, alongside potential performance-oriented models.

Performance features position the C-Class Electric as the "sportiest" in the model's history,...
