Mercedes has released the first official photo of the interior of the new Mercedes C-Class EQ, four days before its world premiere, which will take place on April 20, 2026.
Exactly one month after BMW unveiled its new electric sedan, the i3 – the electric equivalent of the 3 Series – Mercedes has now revealed the first official image of the interior of the new Mercedes C-Class EQ, ahead of its global debut on April 20, 2026.
As expected, the dashboard is entirely borrowed from the new GLC EQ, and the first official image shows the top-of-the-line MBUX Hyperscreen version. This features a massive display with nearly 10 million pixels stretching across the entire width of the dashboard, offered as an optional feature. Thanks to matrix backlight technology, the brightness of different areas of this giant display can be adjusted independently.
The base MBUX Superscreen version comes with two displays – for the instrument cluster and multimedia – while the passenger display is optional.
No fewer than ten high-resolution ambient styles are available for both MBUX Superscreen and MBUX Hyperscreen. The color scheme of the instrument cluster, including gauges, control elements, and ambient lighting, is coordinated with these emotional background themes.
Optional ambient lighting extends from the instrument panel and center console to the doors and even the Sky Control panoramic roof, where 162 illuminated “stars” transform the ceiling into a starry sky.
The standard equipment of the new Mercedes C-Class EQ includes a new leather upholstery called Softtorino. Optionally, sport seats upholstered in Nappa leather are available, featuring the exclusive “Twisted Diamond” design, which combines elegant diamond-shaped perforations with contrasting stitching. The AMG Line stands out with fine moccasin-style stitching on the side bolsters of the seats. The color palette includes three elegant standard shades: deep black, warm beech brown, and stylish ivory beige.
The air vents, speaker grilles, door handles, and electric seat adjustment controls impress with their build quality, while chrome inserts add a high-tech touch. For the first time, the speaker grilles feature a horizontal-line graphic with a three-dimensional relief and a two-tone finish. In the Burmester® 3D surround sound system, they are made of stainless steel.
Like the GLC, the Mercedes C-Class EQ offers the option of a vegan interior certified by the independent association The Vegan Society. The Vegan package includes all soft-touch surface materials—from seat upholstery and headliner to pillars, door panels, and carpeting.
Additionally, new high-end seats are optionally available, featuring electric adjustment with memory function, electro-pneumatic 4-way lumbar support, full-back massage function, ventilation, and 4D functionality.
