Mercedes is working on an assortment of electric vehicles including an entry-level CLA. However, that’s not the only electric sedan on the horizon as spy photographers have caught the C-Class EV once again. Spied wearing black and white camouflage, the electric sedan follows in the footsteps of the EQE and EQS as it adopts a streamlined and slightly generic design. Details are hard to make out, but we can see a sizable central intake and temporary headlights that give off a pre-facelift Tesla Model 3 vibe.
The curvaceous front end gives way to a
relatively short hood and a rakish windscreen. We can also see a rather
generous wheelbase as well as a long sloping roof with a panoramic glass panel.
They’re joined by wide hips that direct air to an integrated rear spoiler.
Rounding out the highlights are flush-mounted door handles and a small rear
window.
Spies got a glimpse inside and the
pictures reveal a nearly vertical dashboard that is dominated by screens. The
treatment appears to be a budget version of the MBUX Hyperscreen as the display
appears to span the width of the cabin. Furthermore, the screen will apparently
be shared with the CLA EV, judging by previous spy photos.
There isn’t much else to see, but the
model has a three-spoke steering wheel, slender air vents, and an in-cabin
camera. The car also embraces a minimalist design that largely eschews physical
switchgear. Little else is known about the C-Class EV at this point, but it
will reportedly ride on the MB.EA platform instead of the Mercedes Modular
Architecture (MMA) that underpins the CLA. This suggests the model will be more
advanced, although specifics are hazy at the moment.
