We've organized this article into specific sections for easier navigation. Click the links below to jump to different areas or read on for the full article. Additionally, we offer an overview of the full specifications, an image gallery, detailed information about charging performance, and some online reviews. Our sections include:

Performance

The Mercedes C 400 4MATIC electric has a maximum power of 360 kW (490 hp / 483 bhp) and a total torque of 800 Nm (590 lb-ft). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 4 seconds and reaches a top speed of 210 km/h (131 mph).

Battery, Range, and Charging

The high-capacity battery has a gross capacity of 100.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 94.0 kWh, providing a 6.0 kWh buffer (6.0%) for battery protection.

This Lithium-Ion battery utilizes NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) technology.

Under the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle's range varies between 762 to 592 km (474-368 miles), depending on the specific configuration and options, such as wheel size. Larger wheels can increase energy consumption and subsequently reduce the overall range.

The vehicle's energy consumption is rated at 12.3 kWh/100 km for the base model and 15.9 kWh/100 km for the top-tier model under the WLTP test cycle.

For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.

The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 350 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 56 minutes, while a typical 10% to 80% charge takes about 21 minutes with an average charging speed of 185 kW.

Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 1% to 50%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 171 kW, with each charging session taking about 16 minutes and 8 seconds.

This efficient charging capability makes the Mercedes C 400 4MATIC electric a convenient option for long-distance travel.

In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 20 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 8 hours and 57 minutes, needing two charging stops from 1% to 58%, totaling 38 minutes of charging time.

Onboard Charger

The standard onboard charger supports up to 11 kW for Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging, allowing a full 0–100% charge in about 8 hours and 32 minutes with a standard home setup.

An optional 22 kW onboard charger reduces the full charge time to approximately 4 hours and 16 minutes.

Charge Port

The charge port is located on the left rear side, making it easy to use charge stations where you need to back up into the charger.

The connector types vary between different markets. This model uses NACS for North America and CCS Combo 2 for Europe. For complete specifications for all markets, refer to the full specifications.

Bidirectional Charging

This model supports V2H (Vehicle to Home) functionality, allowing the car to serve as a backup power source for your home.

  • Sport+: Dynamic steering and maximum throttle.
  • Individual: Custom steering and throttle.

Brakes

The Mercedes C 400 4MATIC electric is equipped with cast-iron disc brakes on both the front and rear.

Regenerative Braking

The regenerative braking system in this model offers several modes to enhance efficiency and driving experience. The most efficient option is the Automatic Regeneration Mode, where the vehicle coasts when possible and employs regenerative braking to reduce speed as needed.

Manual regeneration is another mode, where regenerative braking is controlled by pressing the brake pedal. The brake system blends in physical brakes only when necessary.

Another option is the Regen on Accelerator Pedal mode where regenerative braking is activated when the driver eases off the accelerator pedal. This system allows the vehicle to slow down and recover energy without the driver needing to press the brake pedal, a feature often referred to as one-pedal driving.

You can choose between two stopping modes for one-pedal driving. Hold mode brings the vehicle to a complete stop using friction brakes and Creep mode moves the car forward at low speed.

Drivers can also adjust the regenerative braking strength when lifting off the accelerator. There are two levels of regenerative braking to choose from, allowing you to customize the driving experience to your preference.

The maximum regenerative braking power is 300 kW.

Exterior

  • 235/45 tires on 21" rims front and 265/40 tires on 21" rims rear

Narrower wheels improve consumption and provide a longer range, while wider wheels offer better traction and handling.

The car has four regular doors and a liftgate, which makes the trunk much more usable compared to a traditional bootlid, especially for a sedan.

The liftgate is electric-powered and has a kick-sensor as standard.

There is only one roof option for this model.

The standard roof is a panoramic roof with electrochromic glass that can be adjusted to control sunlight.
