Mercedes-Benz has officially opened the order books for the all-electric C-Class in Europe, giving buyers their first look at pricing for the brand’s new luxury EV sedan. While BMW has yet to officially reveal pricing for the upcoming i3 sedan, Mercedes’ online configurator already shows the electric C-Class can climb well beyond $110,000 when heavily optioned.
Electric C-Class Starts At Around $80,000

The new Mercedes-Benz C 400 4MATIC starts at €67,711 in Germany, including VAT, or roughly $80,000 at current exchange rates. For now, buyers only get one powertrain option: a dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup producing 482 hp. Mercedes claims the sedan can sprint from 0 to 100 kph (62 mph) in four seconds flat while delivering up to 473 miles (762 km) of WLTP-rated range.
The all-electric C-Class is available in three trim styles. The standard Avant-Garde model serves as the entry point, while the AMG Line package adds a sportier appearance for an extra €3,451 ($4,047.85). Above that sits the AMG Line Plus trim at €7,556.50 ($8,863.40), which also bundles in the Night Pack. Mercedes also gives buyers plenty of room for customization, offering 10 exterior paint colors and 10 wheel designs up to 20 inches in size. On the company’s German website, the C 400 4MATIC is already available to lease from roughly €470 per month, or about $550.
Options Can Push The Price Beyond $110,000

Like many modern luxury cars, the options list is where pricing escalates quickly. The Premium Plus Package with Digital Extras costs €11,543 ($13,539.36) and adds features such as the MBUX Hyperscreen, Burmester 4D surround sound system, illuminated panoramic roof pattern, and heated, ventilated, and massaging front seats.
Choosing optional extras individually isn’t cheap either. The SKY CONTROL panoramic roof costs €1,249.50 ($1,465.60) and can switch from transparent to frosted at the touch of a button. Meanwhile, the 39.1-inch MBUX Hyperscreen alone adds another €1,487.50 ($1,744.76).
Select nearly every available option, including rear-axle steering, AIRMATIC suspension, AMG Line Plus, and the major digital packages, and the total rises to €95,838.14 ($112,413.35) including tax. That still excludes extras like winter tires or home charging equipment.
What Could The Electric C-Class Cost In America?

Mercedes has not confirmed official US pricing yet, but considering the electric C-Class costs just €1,000 ($1,173.15) less than the outgoing Mercedes-Benz EQE in Europe, we reckon it’ll cost about the same as an EQE, which carries an MSRP of $64,950 in the US.
If that proves accurate, the C-Class EV would arrive in America in early 2027, positioned against rivals like the Lucid Air and most likely, the BMW i3. And once buyers begin adding expensive option packages, the electric C-Class can quickly creep into S-Class pricing territory.
