The A-Class E-CELL: The first family car for city driving

The A-Class E-CELL is the first series-produced battery-powered electric car from Mercedes-Benz. This family-friendly five-seater, which is entirely suitable for everyday use, offers a spacious, versatile interior and trunk – with no compromise in spaciousness and variability, since the two highly efficient lithium-ion batteries are safely and conveniently located in the underfloor unit. They make for a range of over 200 kilometers (NEDC figure).

A quiet, locally emission-free electric motor provides a peak power of no less than 70 kW (95 hp) and a generous torque of 290 Nm. With an acceleration from 0 to 60 km / h in 5.5 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 150 km / h, the electric A-Class is designed to meet the requirements of urban mobility. Production of a total of 500 units of the A-Class E-CELL began in Rastatt in late 2010.
