Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for

Home-to-office commute up to 60 km in pure electric. Overnight charging is sufficient. 5th of 13 in Electric WLTP range (94 km), 2nd of 13 in Combined range (1003 km), 3rd of 13 in Thermal cons. estimated (5.5 L/100).

Less suitable for

Regular family use with bulky luggage. The space and boot are sport-calibrated, not utility. A sedan or SUV from the same manufacturer would be more practical daily.

Alternatives to consider

If the priority is Electric WLTP range, the Mercedes C 300 de Estate (1st with 96 km) takes the lead. If the priority is Combined range, the Mercedes C 400 e 4MATIC Limousine (1st with 1003 km) takes the lead.

In the city: 94 km pure electric (top 5 in segment)

With a full battery, the C 400 e 4MATIC Saloon drives in pure electric mode for the first 94 km WLTP - placing it 5th of 13 in Electric WLTP range, behind the Mercedes C 300 de Estate (96 km). In urban and peri-urban use, the C 400 e 4MATIC Saloon behaves like a pure electric sedan in its segment.
