It goes without saying that the new EV also has unique styling, beginning with its prominent new nose that shares the same 1959 Mercedes-Benz W111 inspiration as the recently released GLC400 Electric. In fact, from dead-ahead, they're practically a dead ringer for one another.     The new four-door C-class rides on a 116.6-in wheelbase, which is 3.8 inches longer than the gas-powered counterpart, which continues on. The elongated shape flows on back with a fastback sedan profile, with prominent rear haunches and star-themed taillights.    Read more here.

Nonetheless, BMW claims that the 2027 overhaul given to both the electric i7 and gas-drinking 7-series is the most significant mid-cycle refresh the company has ever undertaken, and the changes are apparent at first glance.    Read more here.

Nearly every model in its lineup offers glitzy, dashboard-spanning displays, from the top-dog S-class to the new GLC-class EV and even the entry-level CLA-class EV. Now Mercedes-Benz has revealed the interior of the upcoming C-class EV, a new electric sedan that will take on the BMW i3, and it too goes all in on digital displays.    The C-class EV will come standard with what Mercedes calls the Superscreen and will come with the more complex Hyperscreen as an option. While both setups feature screens across the dashboard, only the Hyperscreen has these displays seamlessly connected, as seen here.     Read more here.
