Mercedes-Benz Malaysia previewed the C 300 4MATIC Electric AMG Line Plus earlier today, which the company says is the first all-electric C-Class. The addition of the electric car completes the drivetrain option selection for the C-Class, with PHEV models already existing prior to the introduction of this one. Though there’s some oddities with the car that was previewed today, which may or may not be carried to the launch models.
To start, Mercedes-Benz Malaysia says that the car that it will be launching for the local market is the C 300, but the car on preview today was a C 400 that was flown in from Germany. The company also provided an estimated launch price, rather than the actual price, with the launch window being early 2027. Or more specifically, within Q1 of next year. Then when the local models become available for purchase, the initial models will be imported units, while the company’s local manufacturing pipeline shifts gears, so to say, to produce this one.
