Mercedes-Benz currently has no plans to introduce a station wagon derivative of the latest, W520-generation C-Class Electric due to a lack of demand for the bodystyle, reported Autocar.
While every generation of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class has offered a station wagon bodystyle in addition to the sedan, the new EV model could be the first in the line to break with tradition because “nobody is buying them”, said Mercedes-Benz head of exterior design Robert Lesnik.
Even though Lesnik is a self-professed fan of station wagons, the decision on any future additions to the product range would be based on commercial viability, he said. “I say we should have station wagons, but the reality is a little bit different.”
“We have three regions. Nobody is buying them in America; we tried the shooting brake [version] of the CLS and nobody bought it. The Chinese don’t understand them and don’t buy them. Then Europe is left, and if you look at a Mercedes-Benz E-Class, it’s pretty expensive, so who can actually buy a car like that in Europe?”, Lesnik said to the publication.
A station wagon version of the C-Class EV has not been totally ruled out, Lesnik said, although the technically similar GLC EV is expected to serve the more luggage-laden customer base for this segment, according to Autocar.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
well tough luck because there will be a lack of demand for this hot mess anyway lol
Overpriced junk. Once you go china EV like Hybrids like the Zeekr or BYD, you never go back to garbage vehicles let alone overpriced turds like these MErcedes arrogantly assuming Malaysia is a good dumping ground for their unsold trash cans on wheels.
nobody wants this lapsap
why the heck is it so big and heavy ? 4880 cm long is longer than the S-clas from 1990.
and it weights 2400 kg wtf.
