Mercedes-Benz C-Class EQ

Electric version of Mercedes-Benz's traditional BMW 3 Series rival is expected to closely match the i3 for range and charging speed

THE EARLY 20s are known as the age of emerging adulthood in people, and the same could be said of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, which, after 23 years of existence, is finally going electric.

The new C-Class EQ will be sold alongside facelifted versions of the current combustion-powered C-Class models. However, the EQ will be offered only as a saloon; there won't be an estate alternative, as there is with the other versions.
