Mercedes-Benz C-Class Electric Business & Personal Car Leasing Offers

The C-Class Electric sits above the CLA Electric in Mercedes' expanding EV saloon range, and is built on the same MB.EA platform the German brand uses on models such as the GLC Electric SUV. The C-Class electric also carries over the C 400 4Matic powertrain, featuring a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive setup. Entering UK production from July 2026, the launch model arrives as an all-wheel drive, four-door saloon with a coupe-esque appeal, suiting company car drivers and personal lease customers who want the badge and cabin quality of a traditional C-Class, although with the running costs and smoothness of a fully electric powertrain.

Mercedes is positioning the C-Class Electric as the sportiest edition yet, capable of achieving 0-62mph in 4.0 seconds. In terms of cosmetics, the car carries Mercedes' star-pattern LED tail lights and ambient lighting that projects the Mercedes logo, alongside striking alloy wheel designs, available in 19 inches on the Sport trim, and 20 inches on the two top trims.

For leasing customers, the fast-charging hardware and 470-litre boot, plus an additional 101-litre front trunk, make it a practical option for drivers who want meaningful range without compromising on function.

- Body Type: Saloon

- Fuel Type: Electric

- Electric Range: Up to 452 miles (WLTP)

- Seats: 5

- Boot Size: Up to 470 litres, plus a 101-litre front trunk

Key Specifications

C-Class Electric trims include Sport, AMG Line, AMG Line Premium, AMG Line Premium Plus and Premier Edition, all built on the C 400 4Matic powertrain:

- Sport: The entry point for the range, fitted with 19-inch alloy wheels, a panoramic glass roof, heated front seats and Mercedes' 10.3-inch driver display alongside a 14-inch central display. The passenger side uses a digital trim panel rather than an interactive screen. Sport returns the longest WLTP range in the line-up at up to 452 miles.

- AMG Line: Adds AMG-inspired exterior styling, an illuminated Iconic Grille, an upgraded ambient lighting package and Mercedes' MBUX Superscreen, which makes the passenger display interactive rather than static.

- AMG Line Premium: Steps up to the full 39.1-inch MBUX Hyperscreen, DIGITAL LIGHT headlamps, flush-fitting door handles with hands-free entry, a Burmester 3D surround sound system and a 360-degree parking camera.

- AMG Line Premium Plus: Adds 20-inch alloy wheels, heated rear seats, high-end sports seats with massage and climate control, an illuminated pattern within the panoramic roof and a further upgraded Burmester 4D surround sound system.

- Premier Edition: Sits at the top of the range with a black exterior styling pack, unique genuine leather upholstery with contrast stitching and a black-finished vehicle key, built on Sport-level comfort seats rather than the sports seats fitted to AMG Line Premium Plus.

Engine & Performance

The fully electric C-Class is built on Mercedes' dedicated MB.EA platform rather than a converted version of the combustion-engined car.

The C 400 4Matic powertrain uses a 94kWh battery paired with a motor on the front and rear axles, distributing a combined output of 489bhp and 800Nm of torque. This results in a 0-62mph time of 4.0 seconds and a top speed of 130mph, helped by a two-speed transmission designed to improve high-speed efficiency.

WLTP range runs from up to 452 miles on Sport down to 428 miles on Premier Edition, due to the larger wheels fitted to higher trims. 800V electrical architecture supports DC rapid charging at up to 330kW, taking around 22 minutes for a 10-80% charge. AC charging is rated at 11kW as standard, with a 22kW on-board charger available as an optional extra. 

An optional extra Trailer Coupling pack adds a fully electric tow bar with ESP trailer stabilisation, giving a braked towing capacity of up to 1,800kg. Available on AMG Line and above, a separate optional Refinement Package brings AIRMATIC air suspension and rear-axle steering, aimed at improving motorway comfort, cornering agility, and low-speed manoeuvrability via the reduced turning circle.

Exterior Features

Every C-Class Electric gets Mercedes' new Iconic Grille, though its finish varies by trim. A silver chrome surround and panel feature on Sport, whereas AMG Line displays upgrades to an illuminated surround and panel in dark chrome, and Premier Edition features an elaborate illuminated, framed version. Sport is fitted with a standard panoramic glass roof, while AMG Line and above upgrade to the SKY CONTROL version, which lets you switch the roof between crystal clear and matte at the touch of a button. AMG Line Premium Plus adds an illuminated pattern within the roof glass itself.

Alloy wheel sizes range from 19 inches on Sport, AMG Line and AMG Line Premium up to 20 inches on AMG Line Premium Plus and Premier Edition, each with a different design depending on specification. Manual door handles are used on Sport and AMG Line trims, moving to flush-fitting, hands-free handles from AMG Line Premium upward. Digital Light headlamps, which automatically adjust to road and driving conditions, are fitted from AMG Line Premium, while AMG Line Premium Plus adds extra projection capabilities on top. A no-cost Sustainability Package is available on Sport, combining a Vegan Society-certified interior material set with a distinctive open-pore natural fibre trim.

Interior Features

Inside, the dashboard display set-up varies by trim: Sport's 10.3-inch driver display and 14-inch central display are joined by a static 14-inch digital trim panel on the passenger side, AMG Line upgrades this to the interactive MBUX Superscreen, and AMG Line Premium and above get the fully seamless 39.1-inch MBUX Hyperscreen instead.

Every trim gets heated front seats, wireless phone charging, four USB-C charging ports split between front and rear, and a split-folding rear bench with a through-loading capability for lengthy items or luggage. Seat material and design step up through the range, from ARTICO synthetic leather comfort seats on Sport and Premier Edition, to AMG-style sports seats on AMG Line and AMG Line Premium. AMG Line Premium Plus includes high-end sports seats with massage and climate control. The boot holds up to 470 litres, alongside a further 101-litre storage compartment available under the bonnet that opens by pressing the Mercedes star badge.

Safety Features

As a newly launched model, the C-Class Electric has not yet been crash-tested by Euro NCAP, so official safety data is currently unavailable.

Standard safety and driver assistance features across the range include Blind Spot Assist, a lane support system, Traffic Sign Assist, autonomous emergency braking and an active bonnet that raises on collision detection to help protect pedestrians. Mercedes' PRE-SAFE system offers preventive occupant protection ahead of a detected collision, and every model carries an acoustic presence indicator to alert pedestrians and cyclists at low speed. A 360-degree parking camera is fitted from AMG Line Premium upward, in place of the standard reversing camera on Sport and AMG Line.
