The new electric Mercedes-Benz C-Class came out this week, and the design has a lot more personality than EV models the brand has trotted out in recent memory. It still has the silhouette of melted soap, but at least the face and taillights are interesting. The cockpit has some nice-looking details too, but most passengers will never notice after the car’s 39.1-inch display screen obliterates their occipital lobes.
Our guy Joel Feder was at the C400 4Matic Electric’s debut in person, and reported back that the interior “looks nearly identical to that of the electric GLC-Class.” The full-size dash-spanning 39.1-inch Hyperscreen is a high-tier option. Otherwise, you merely bask in the glow of the lesser “Superscreen” (three separate screens under one single piece of glass covering the 10.25-inch digital gauge cluster, 14-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and 14-inch passenger touchscreen).
Now, I mean no personal offense to those who worked on these vehicles—I’m sure a lot of time and energy was spent bringing the Hyperscreen to life. But as a critic, I must say, this is one of the most hateful car-design concepts I could possibly imagine.
