Mercedes-Benz C-Class EV Spy Shots: No EQ To Be Found
The latest car news, reviews, and features. Mercedes-Benz has managed to put together a series of competent, quick, and undeniably luxurious all-electric EQ sedans and SUVs. But as praise-worthy as their road manners and extensive feature offerings may be, nobody is rushing to call them pretty. Without some elegance to back it up, how impressive can the three-pointed star really be? For its next generation of EVs, Mercedes is looking to right the EQ lineup's aesthetic wrongs and unite the company's design philosophy across both fossil fuel and battery-electric portfolios. Spurring this change along is a new the new MMA platform. It supports both ICE and EV configurations, affording designers the opportunity to produce a single, cohesive design for each model line regardless of its power source. The prototype photographed here still bears the unmistakable silhouette of a drag-optimized electric sedan, but even with the camouflage, we can see that the company's designers have managed to chisel away at some of the Dustbuster-esque elements that characterized its current crop of four-door electric cars. Instead, what we see here carries many of the same cues found on the new Mercedes-Benz CLA, which is also hitting the market in both ICE and battery-powered variants. The characteristic high butt/low nose stance of the EQ sedans is muted here, though the pedestrian-safe hood and its correspondingly blunted nose bring a touch of that character to the new offering, but it's not nearly as dramatic as the execution on the EQE and EQS. Curiously, our spies tell us that this sedan offers a liftback, rather than a traditional trunk. We're curious to see what that does for the rear end once the camo has been removed. If the CLA is any indication, the electric C-Class will likely offer far more sensible powertrains than some of those we've seen on high-end EVs. The CLA 350 4Matic will offer a combined 349 hp and 380 pound-feet of torque, while the 250+ variant will have just 268 horsepower and 247 lb-ft of torque. While fairly tame numbers-wise, they still offer pony-car-like performance, with the CLA 350 4Matic hitting 60 in just 4.8 seconds. Given the advanced state of this prototype and the imminent release of its CLA platform-mate, we expect it won't be long before we see the new C-Class EV for real.

White House suggests some countries could see tariff deadline shifted
Chair of the White House Council of Economic Advisers Stephen Miran said that some countries that are negotiating with the United States in good faith could see tariffs delayed as President Donald Trump's deadline to strike trade deals closes in. Speaking with ABC News' "This Week" anchor George Stephanopoulos, Miran hedged on what deals are in the works. 'On tariffs, the president's deadline is approaching for the deals. You've only seen three deals so far. What should we expect next?' Stephanopoulos asked. 'I'm still optimistic that we're going to get a number of deals later this week. Part of that is because all the negotiating goes through a series of steps that lead to a culmination timed with the deadline,' Miran said. Pressed on if these other deals fail to come through and if Trump would extend the deadline, Miran indicated that could be possible. 'Well, my expectation would be that countries that are negotiating in good faith and making the concessions that they need to get to a deal, but the deal is just not there yet because it needs more time, my expectation will be that those countries get a roll, you know, sort of get the date rolled,' he said. Asked which countries could see that date shifted, Miran refused to elaborate, but said that he has heard good things about talks with Europe and India. 'I would expect that a number of countries that are in the process of making those concessions, you know, they might see their date rolled. For the countries that aren't making concessions, for the countries that aren't negotiating in good faith, I would expect them to sort of see higher tariffs,' Miran said. 'But again, the president will decide later this week and in the time following whether or not the countries are doing what it takes to get access to the American market like they've grown accustomed to.' Stephanopolous was also joined by former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, who balked at the potential economic benefits of Trump's tariffs. 'It probably will collect some revenue at the cost of higher inflation for American consumers, less competitiveness for American producers," Summers said. 'So higher prices, less competitiveness, and not really that much revenue relative to what's being given to the very wealthy in this bill.' This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.
