I personally think Mercedes nailed the design. To me it looks really nice; I like the silhouette. The interior is very “flashy” and will likely attract the type of younger buyer this car is tailored too. I don’t normally like tons of screens, but even older me likes the mega screen; I think it looks awesome.
The dumb “star” lights, front and back, are light years better than the weird stars they put on the S Class. The S Class refresh looks cheap in the rear with those three dumb fat triangles, and the front star eyes looks more like bug eyes due to the depth. It’s terrible looking.

The rear three quater view is fabulous.
If it drives well (I fully expect it to) I would strongly consider one. Other than the Taycan it's not like there are other beautiful EV's to compete with it.

I actually really like everything about the design except the front end (snout). I think the interior, rear and silhoutte are both sporty and elegant which is very hard to achieve.

Front end will have to grow on me.
Back end looks like an old Chevy Impala
Interior is still "chef's kiss"
EV's still showing bar soap heritage. Keep the classic lines and just throw EV motors in them if that's what you have to do.

Still one important differentiator, especially when deciding between a smaller engine ICE/hybrid car and an EV in the same price range. The EV will feel quick and responsive vs a noisy, sluggish engine. Perfect to see when looking at the latest CLA reviews (EV vs hybrid)...

I am very curious as to what the ICE/gasoline version of the refresh will look like.
Will the grille look like the new or old c class? As much as I love my current center screen, I find the hyperscreen appealing and hope it's offered for upcoming ICE variants.
Would love a plugin in hybrid but MB refuses to sell the c sedan in the US.

Actually no soap bar here at all. Regular hood size, just more of a hatch back rather than a full 3 box sedan design. This just helps a bit on range. Once we have solid state batteries you can have just about any shape car and get decent range. Couple more years...

It will get the same MB OS like the W520 C-Class EV but the screen will be the same as the W206 pre-facelift.

@Wolfman Can you tell us what this pricing will translate to in the US?

First they use a $ price. People assume US net pricing while the German price includes a 19% VAT tax. They even mention that but should exclude that.
So let’s just say 55K EURO net. Then they use the Dollar to Euro exchange rate which sucks as the Dollar is the lowest for 6 years.
The difference here is that Mercedes can neither apply the foreign currency exchange rate losses nor those questionable tariffs in full.
In the past I have seen MB offer the cars in Dollar of what they are in Euro but that likely won’t work. Factor in a higher base equipment list for the U.S. as well as many German options comes standard here.
So here is my personal assumption based on this that the car will come to market in the low sixties, similar to the iX3…
