The race in the electric vehicle (EV) market is heating up, and Mercedes-Benz is not staying behind. The company has big plans to switch entirely to electric cars by 2030, depending on how the market grows. A key player in this electric dream is the new electric C-Class, set to launch in 2025, and it’s Mercedes‘ answer to the BMW i4.

The Mercedes Electric C-Class is leaning towards a more refined design

The electric C-Class was recently caught on camera while being tested. It was all covered up to keep its final look a secret. But even with the camouflage, we can guess that Mercedes is going for a sleeker look compared to its bigger models like the EQE and EQS. It seems to be leaning towards a more sharp and refined design, maybe taking some cues from the Vision EQXX concept car in terms of aerodynamics.

This new electric sedan is expected to be built on Mercedes’ exclusive electric vehicle platform called MB.EA. This is different from the electric CLA models that are being developed on a mixed-use platform (MMA), which also supports traditional combustion engines. This shows how Mercedes is trying to cater to different tastes and needs in the EV market.

There’s also buzz about Mercedes possibly changing the way they name their EVs. Starting from 2024, they might move away from the “EQ” branding. This change might start with the electric version of the G-Class. It’s a sign that Mercedes is entering a new era in their EV journey.

As Mercedes gears up to launch the electric C-Class, it’s not just about their own evolution. They are going head-to-head with BMW‘s upcoming vehicles like the i3 Sedan and the next-gen iX3, both expected to be built on the innovative Neue Klasse platform. This competition highlights just how dynamic and fast-changing the world of luxury EVs is. With its expected modern design and cutting-edge technology, it’s ready to make a mark in the rapidly evolving world of electric cars.
