2027 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Electric Review: Quick Drive
Mercedes says the C400 4Matic delivers 483 horsepower, 590 pound-feet of torque and 200 miles of range in 10 minutes of charging.
- Journalists test-drove the 2027 Mercedes-Benz C-Class EV in Helsinki, Finland, ahead of its early 2027 U.S. launch, with the dual-motor C400 4Matic producing 483 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque.
- Rather than adapting the existing gas platform, the electric C-Class utilizes the dedicated 800-volt MB.EA architecture shared with the GLC EV, enabling ultra-fast charging at up to 330 kilowatts and adding 200 miles in just 10 minutes.
- Inside, the C-Class features a fully vegan interior independently verified by The Vegan Society and an optional 39.1-inch Hyperscreen, while the 94-kWh battery promises up to 474 miles on the WLTP cycle, translating to roughly 400 miles per EPA methodology.
- Test drives in Helsinki revealed the C400 handles with surprising agility, thanks to optional adaptive dampers and rear-axle steering, with Mercedes engineers claiming 20 percent greater damping of body motions than the GLC EV.
- Priced at an estimated $55,000, the C-Class arrives as Mercedes-Benz commits to serving 150 global markets for the next decade, positioning itself as an accessible luxury EV with richer interiors than many competitors.
