The Mercedes-Benz C-Class EV Is Not What I Expected
"The front design follows the direction set by the GLC EV, with a retro-homage grille reinterpreted for the LED era, featuring hundreds of light-up points and an illuminated surround."
"Mercedes calls this an athletic GT rear design and says the shape plays an active role in giving the car its impressive drag coefficient of 0.22, which is lower than the combustion C-Class."
"The driving position is fantastic, though. The seat can go nice and low to make you feel connected to the car, and you can bring the steering wheel closer to you."
"The rear felt pretty cramped with the seat set in a comfortable position for my six-foot frame, made worse by the fact that you can't slide your feet under the seat in front."
The new electric C-Class is part of Mercedes' EV lineup, following the CLA and GLC. It features a retro-inspired grille with LED elements and a fastback rear design, enhancing its sporty character. The car has a drag coefficient of 0.22, lower than the combustion version. Although it appears taller than the gas model, design elements attempt to visually reduce its height. The wheelbase is longer, providing slightly more front legroom, but rear space feels cramped. The driving position is low and connected, with an all-screen dashboard.
