Mercedes' electric C-Class is priced at $105,700, with up to 753 km of range

Why it matters: Its claimed range is among the longest of any EV coming to Australia, but it costs $16,800 more than a BMW i4 eDrive35 and $33,500 more than Mercedes' own CLA electric. Unless you need the range or the bigger cabin, the CLA is the better-value Mercedes EV.

Mercedes-Benz has priced the new C-Class electric sedan at $105,700 before on-roads, in a single C 400 4MATIC version due in showrooms early in 2027. It has a 94 kWh battery and a claimed 753 km of WLTP range, and Mercedes says it charges from 10% to 80% in about 22 minutes at up to 330 kW. Its two motors make 360 kW and 800 Nm.

How we work it out, and our sources

Weekly cost = the car's energy use × 250 km × your electricity or fuel price, with 90% of charging at home. Prices are list prices at November 2026; check with the dealer.

  • Electricity: 2026–27 default rates (AER, Victorian Default Offer, state retailers). Public charging: Sydney network prices, July 2026.
  • Petrol and diesel: capital-city daily averages from state government price feeds, via FuelRadar, 12 November 2026. Diesel for Hobart, Canberra and Darwin is estimated from the national fall.
  • Cars: maker figures via CarExpert, Drive, CarsGuide and EV Central. Plug-in electric range is taken as 80% of the claim.
  • Servicing: published capped prices; marked as an estimate where not yet published (CarExpert comparison).
  • Tyres: an EV set lasts about 35,000 km, a petrol or hybrid set 50,000 km (RACV); prices from Gridly.
  • Home charger: about $2,000 installed ($1,000–$3,000). Novated leases: PwC summary.
