The new GLC: efficiency and driving pleasure at its best
For many years, the GLC has been the most popular Mercedes-Benz model, constantly holding the top position in global sales rankings – including in the first half of 2025. Now, customers can look forward to a new chapter: the electric GLC (provisional data: combined energy consumption 14.9–18.8 kWh/100 km | CO₂ emissions: 0 g/km | CO₂ class: A), which will complete the range starting in the first half of 2026.
Developed based on extensive customer feedback, the new electric GLC is refined, distinctive, and designed to amplify everything that Mercedes-Benz drivers already appreciate.

A new benchmark in the midsize segment
The GLC with EQ technology marks a turning point: it is the first model in a completely new family, built on the electric-first architecture and equipped with the “superbrain” MB.OS, based on artificial intelligence. It stands out with top autonomy, efficiency, charging speed, and performance, as well as additional space for passengers and a towing capacity of 2.4 tons – a new standard in the class.
Confidential – Not for Public Consumption or Distribution
“The most extensive product launch program in our company’s history continues with the new GLC. It is not just about a new model, but about electrifying our best-selling car. It impresses with a bold design language, advanced technology, our MB.OS operating system, and performance that inspires emotion. It is the perfect balance between comfort, dynamism, efficiency, and intelligence.”
Ola Källenius, Chairman of the Board of Management, Mercedes-Benz Group AG
High-tech interior and the “Welcome Home” atmosphere
The cabin greets passengers with the spectacular MBUX Hyperscreen, the largest screen ever installed in a Mercedes-Benz: 99.3 cm (39.1 inches). Together with warm ambient lighting and the SKY CONTROL panoramic roof, it takes the “Welcome Home” experience to a new level of comfort and safety. Mercedes-Benz also becomes the first car manufacturer in the world to offer an independently certified vegan interior (The Vegan Society), through the optional Vegan Package.
Unmatched driving experience
The new GLC offers a smooth and safe driving experience, thanks to the innovative One-Box Brake system, which combines energy recuperation and classic braking. Advanced MB.DRIVE technologies use up to 10 external cameras, 5 radars, and 12 ultrasonic sensors for first-class driving assistance. The AIRMATIC air suspension and rear-axle steering at 4.5° guarantee the comfort and agility specific to the brand.
MB.OS: the superbrain with artificial intelligence
Just as the human brain coordinates thoughts and senses, MB.OS integrates all vehicle functions: from infotainment and driving assistance to comfort and charging. Advanced artificial intelligence allows learning the driver’s preferences and adapting in real time.
With a processing power of 254 trillion operations per second and chip-to-cloud connectivity, the system enables over-the-air updates and advanced data protection. Thus, the GLC becomes an intelligent road companion that evolves together with the driver.
Iconic design, reinvented
The new Mercedes-Benz electric GLC is the first model with an illuminated high-tech chrome grille, reinterpreted as a modern symbol of the brand. The dynamic silhouette, with strongly contoured fenders and elegant proportions, conveys prestige and confidence.
Inside, the “Sensual Purity” philosophy comes to life through fluid lines, premium materials, and a futuristic atmosphere. The standard panoramic roof creates an open space, while the optional SKY CONTROL version adds 162 luminous “stars” for a unique experience.
“The new electric GLC represents more than a car: it marks the beginning of a new era of iconic design. Through its new grille, we have redefined the brand’s identity, reimagining and preserving a truly emblematic design element in the history of the automotive industry. Representing an evolution of the Sensual Purity concept, the electric GLC perfectly combines tradition with innovation, guaranteeing the immediate recognition of the Mercedes-Benz brand.”
Gorden Wagener, Chief Design Officer Mercedes-Benz AG
Versatility, intuition, and sustainability
The new model is designed to adapt to any lifestyle: generous trunk with flat floor, rear seat bench foldable 40:20:40, and 2.4-ton towing capacity. The “Hey Mercedes” voice assistant, based on conversational artificial intelligence, makes interaction natural and intuitive, while regular updates continuously bring new functions.
Mercedes-Benz remains committed to the Ambition 2039 objective – a fleet neutral in terms of CO₂ emissions. Sustainable production, eco-friendly materials, and the certified vegan package mark a firm step toward the zero-emission future.
Launch and range
The electric GLC combines the reliability and elegance of Mercedes-Benz with state-of-the-art electric propulsion. At launch, customers will enjoy the top-of-the-line GLC 400 4MATIC, with 360 kW and up to 713 km range, followed by four other impressive models to come.
