Come one man. These pics are just on this very same page.

Looks like one of those glass roofs that doesn’t open. It’s a terrible trend.

Same shit like the CLA and GLC EQ roof.

Same shit like the CLA and GLC EQ roof.

I hope they have enough sense NOT to do this on any higher level products like the EV E-Class and whatever else is coming.

I agree. I told my dealer I don’t care about Mercedes Benz with fixed glass roof, we’re currently waiting for the answer If it’s possible to get the powered sunroof as a Manufaktur option for the GLC EQ.

They told him, they’re doing the fixed glass roofs because of China.

Mercedes has officially won a victory against the KBA in its diesel recall case.

Mercedes-Benz has won a significant legal victory: The Schleswig-Holstein Administrative Court has overturned several recalls issued by the Federal Motor Vehicles Administration (KBA) for the company's diesel models. At the heart of the dispute were the OM651 and OM640 series engines, which meet the Euro 5 emissions standard and which the administration claimed contained an illegal deactivation device.

Mercedes-Benz sees the current ruling as confirmation that the legal basis for the recalls was flawed from the outset. Despite this, the manufacturer implemented the recall and replaced almost all 1.4 million vehicles four years later.

Mercedes setzt sich bei Diesel Rückruf gegen KBA (formal) durch

Mercedes-Benz hat sich nun gegen das KBA aufgrund der laufenden Diesel Rückruf Aktionen durchsetzen können - formal, nicht aus technischen Gründen.

I would have change the A-Class front lights rather than the bumper…

Model	Power	Battery Capacity	Range
C200	313 hp	64 kWh	560 km
C250	354 hp	85 kWh	740 km

C300 4Matic	422 hp	85 kWh	720 km
C400 4Matic	489 hp	94 kWh	780 km
AMG	952 hp	unknown	unknown

Came across this as being the specs for the EV C class

The C250 and C300+ outputs seem too close together. I personally think the C250 would be a waste and most people will rather buy the C300+.

Never the less the power outputs from the EV C-class models are light years more powerful than the ICE models.

Well depends on the price doesn't it? If the C250 is like 5k cheaper, the C300+ would be the waste of money.

These EV power figures are getting crazy.

LOL, the C200 has as much power as an E92 335i! The cheapest and slowest version!

And who needs more power than that? Granted, this car will be a whale compared to the 335i, but I just bought a car with similar power and it feels like driving a rocket. No matter it is an EV, base versions will be the norm for almost everyone I guess.

 

[klier]

Haha yeah, my 3.0 I6 has 265 hp

Poor little thing.

God damn. 952 HP ?!

I am shocked by how the EV models have made a massive jump in power over the ICE versions. The C200 with a massive 230kw (313PS) has 80kw (109PS) more power than the C200 W206. It makes the EQE300 (265PS) and 350 (320PS) models look so underpowered.

As a power comparison:
C200 ICE - 150kw (204PS) - 0-100km/h - 7.3sec
C200 EV - 230kw (313PS) - 0-100km/h - 5.7sec approx.
C300 ICE - 190kw (258PS) - 0-100km/h - 6.0sec
C300+ EV- 270kw (367PS) - 0-100km/h - 4.8sec approx.
C400e ICE PHEV 4matic- 280kw (381PS) - 0-100km/h - 5.4sec
C400 EV 4matic - 360kw (489PS) - 0-100km/h - 3.8sec approx.
C43 AMG 4matic - 310kw (421PS) - 0-100km/h - 4.3sec
C63 SE AMG 4matic - 500kw (680PS)- 0-100km/h - 3.4sec
C63 AMG EV 4matic - 700kw (952PS) - 0-100km/h - 2.4sec approx.

It’s funny because no matter how powerful they are you won’t be able to drive it past 30-40 mph in regular settings Just unnecessary power.

I’ve also noticed that a ICE CLA 220 is more expensive than a C300 . Crazy times. It’s overall more expensive than C-Class in every occasion.

What if…
