Mercedes-Benz unveils first all-electric C-Class sedan with 400-mile range, debuting in South Korea in 2026

On April 20, 2026, Mercedes-Benz introduced its inaugural all-electric C-Class sedan in South Korea. The U.S. model, known as the C400 4Matic, is expected to launch in early 2027. This vehicle is equipped with a 94.5-kWh battery and dual motors that produce 482 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque, achieving 0-60 mph in just 3.9 seconds. While the European range is 473 miles, U.S. EPA estimates suggest approximately 400 miles. The electric platform increases the wheelbase by 3.8 inches for improved legroom and allows for DC fast charging at up to 330 kW, providing 200 miles in just 10 minutes. Optional features include rear-wheel steering and air suspension, with plans for a future rear-wheel-drive variant boasting a 497-mile range. Pricing details are yet to be revealed, and the gasoline version of the C-Class will remain available.
