Mercedes-Benz has given the world its first detailed look at the cabin of the upcoming all-electric C-Class, just days before the full reveal scheduled for April 20, 2026. The highlight? A massive, dashboard-spanning display that transforms the driving experience in this luxury electric sedan.
At the heart of the new interior is the optional MBUX Hyperscreen — a seamless 39.1-inch floating touchscreen that stretches almost pillar-to-pillar across the entire dashboard. This single, continuous glass panel integrates the digital instrument cluster, central infotainment, and a dedicated passenger display into one immersive interface.
The Hyperscreen features advanced matrix backlight technology with nearly 10 million pixels and independently adjustable brightness zones. This allows crystal-clear information for the driver while offering personalized entertainment and content for the front passenger. Mercedes describes the cabin as a “sanctuary” with ten high-resolution ambient lighting styles that can be coordinated with the displays for a truly mood-setting experience.
For those who prefer a slightly more traditional setup, Mercedes will also offer the MBUX Superscreen as standard, featuring multiple high-resolution displays with slim bezels instead of the fully seamless Hyperscreen.
The overall dashboard layout closely mirrors that of the recently revealed electric GLC SUV, with minimal physical buttons. Most controls are handled through the touchscreen or the flat-bottomed steering wheel, creating a clean, modern, and futuristic ambience.
The electric C-Class is expected to share its underpinnings with the GLC EV, sitting on Mercedes’ new MB.EA dedicated electric platform with an 800-volt architecture. This setup supports ultra-fast charging and high efficiency.
Early indications suggest the C-Class EV could offer a real-world competitive range of over 600 km (potentially up to 800 km on the optimistic WLTP cycle in top variants), thanks to a large battery pack (around 94 kWh) and advanced efficiency measures. It will be available in rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations.
