Hot! Mercedes-Benz, What's Next?

On account of not being a mixed-use architecture, it might just have better packaging, and a better interior.

The interior looks to be the same design. Either way the proportions are terrible compared to the ICE C.

Are there interior pics? Or do I have to watch a YT vid?

I think it will get the same interior as GLC. Also the overall shape looks more like a liftback than a proper sedan. It’s weird that they went full on with ICE proportions on the E-Class while the C-Class still looks very EQ-ish.

I have a feeling the rear design will be the car's weak point. Gordon may have ruined yet another model.

No just that video with that surfboard dash like the CLA GLC GLB.

I’m pretty certain of it. I would love to be wrong about this car but camo can only hide so much.

Well this being a dedicated BEV makes it incomparable with the CLA so that alone warrants them both in the market.

In a time when SUVs dominate the sales charts, not sure what the future of the C-Class EQ (or any other future MB sedan) will be if its SUV counterpart (GLC EQ) sells good and the sedan does not.

Having said this, if any MB sedan is at risk is the E-Class IMO. I had never seen as few E-Class around as with this gen. I see less 5ers too compared to the G30, but here in Madrid the 5er is probably the only sedan of this segment still selling in decent numbers.

E-Class and 5er are very popular here, especially in my city.

Likewise here as well. Seeing more and more of them out and about.

Why cant they use the usual classy greenhouse shape? The side profile screams in low segment vibes

"Entry Core Level" I suppose. Quite the M-B tradition actually. Bare bones W204s looked pretty austere. And most base entry level M-Bs before them as well. Not really that big of a deal. The upcoming new E-Class EQ will have to offer a good deal more highly tasteful eye candy, though.
