Can’t get an EV but just in terms of design and car stuff, this is on a whole different level than the w206 c class. No redeeming characteristics about the w206 but this has some good improvements. Hope it’s a trend in newer mercedes and especially the E class.
Getest en besteld. Super wagen. AMG line + , burmeister 3D, hyperscreen, hud,… seats are the sportseats with microfabric. Lavendel grey.
Normal door handles, this goes on the potential cars list!
Can we also get that on the GLC please?
What exterieur color?
I am getting crazy of this "European" car manufacturers! How they can put massive unnecessary ridiculous technology but cannot add a very useful Keyless entry function!!! They are out of mind!
Please, what is the name of this color ?
The new C-Class measures 4.88 meters, while the classic W123 measures 4.64 meters—making it shorter. Back then, it was a large car.
Finally, a beautiful electric car! Now I’m starting to think about buying one.
Only dislike SUVs but sedan isn't really a family car. Waiting for BMW i3 Touring.
I love this car ❤
such sleek looking car..
unbelievable mistake Mercedes made with the limited backseat leg room… wow, that’s a horrendous mistake
I'm still not clear what Thomas thinks of the Burmester sound system……
The price is incredible….the electric range is ridiculous ! 😂😂😂😂 You will need 3 months to go back to Germany ! Good luck ! 😂😂😂😂
BMW is ugly asf
Beautiful colour and interior combination.
The front grill is the double edged sword for Mercedes Benz. It looks like an ancient antique in modern day.
Never use the range number quoted from the factory as that is based on battery consumption from 100 to 0%. At the same time they strongly recommend not to empty more than 80% of the battery capacity and never to charge more than 80% due to battery wear. That leaves 40% of non usable power. So to get an authentic range you can deduct that from the quoted number. In addition it's of course based on a new battery, the range only decreases as the battery wears out by time. The temperature is also a significant factor of course.
MB totally priced themselves out of any market, they obviously don't know the competition 😲
Thomas, is there going to be an estate electric in the C-class? The ICE version looks great.
Man i really don't understand this new design. The front is a matter of taste, to put it politely. But i understand the rear even less. Does anyone actually think this looks good? It makes zero sense to me visually… it's like a bunch of random elements that have no relation to each other. I can usually accept different tastes, but i really hope i won't see many of those on the streets 🙈
I would even prefer to have a keyfob with buttons and normal door handles without keyless. Great feature. And without option price )
