Mercedes-Benz has pulled the wraps off the new C-Class EV’s tech-laden interior. This comes mere days before the planned unveiling of the C-Class EV, slated for April 20.
- Dashboard layout is almost entirely shared with GLC EV; very few physical controls
- Optional panoramic glass roof features 162 illuminated stars
- New HVAC system and slew of upgrades promise enhanced refinement
New Mercedes-Benz C-Class EV interior and features
Gets either a seamless 39.1-inch screen or triple displays
Right off the bat, the C-Class EV’s dashboard layout is near-identical to that of its SUV counterpart, the GLC EV, which was revealed at the 2025 Munich Motor Show. The most striking element is, of course, the massive 39.1-inch Hyperscreen that stretches nearly the full width of the dashboard. A triple-display Superscreen setup, as in the 2026 S-Class facelift, will also be on offer for the C-Class EV.
As is usually the case with newer Mercedes-Benz models, the C-Class EV’s dashboard is largely devoid of physical controls, though several of them can be observed on the flat-bottomed three-spoke steering wheel. Also quite prominent is the optional ambient lighting, which bathes the dashboard in numerous colours and even extends throughout the cabin via the door liners.
There’s an optional fixed panoramic glass roof, too, which is embedded with 162 illuminated stars that sync up with the ambient lighting. Other creature comforts of note include a Burmester 3D surround sound system and powered sports seats up front with massaging, cooling and memory functions.
As for upholstery, the C-Class EV’s interior is available in various options, including vegan leather, as well as colour schemes such as black, brown and beige. Much of the interior trim is metallic (wood and carbonfibre are also on offer), and the sports seats can be had in Nappa leather with a new ‘Twisted Diamond’ pattern.
HVAC and refinement upgrades
Lastly, Mercedes-Benz says the C-Class EV comes equipped with a new HVAC system that’s much more effective and efficient. This contributes to the cabin’s “exceptionally serene” refinement, alongside measures such as a rigid bodyshell, aero-optimised design, extensive sound insulation all around, decoupling elastomer mounts between the suspension and body, refined electric motors, laminated safety glass in the front side windows and more.
