Few vehicles define Mercedes-Benz in the modern era as clearly as the GLC. Long the brand’s global bestseller, it has embodied versatility, design, and everyday luxury. Now, with the all-new electric GLC arriving in 2026, Mercedes-Benz is not just refreshing a customer favorite. It is reimagining what a midsize SUV can be in an electrified age.

Electric-First, Luxury-Always
The new GLC has been designed from the ground up as an electric vehicle. The payoff is clear: improved performance, generous space, and benchmark efficiency. A longer wheelbase brings more room inside, with up to 47 millimeters of additional rear legroom, while a front trunk adds another 128 liters of storage. Despite its refinement, this is no delicate EV. With a towing capacity of up to 2.4 tonnes, the GLC 400 4MATIC is equally at home pulling a boat to the coast as it is gliding down the autobahn.
A Smarter Kind of Intelligence
At the heart of the new GLC is MB.OS, the AI-driven “superbrain” that orchestrates every element of the vehicle. It handles infotainment, driver assistance, charging, and comfort with real-time adaptability. With computing power measured at 254 trillion operations per second and seamless over-the-air updates, this is a vehicle designed not just for today but for the decade ahead.
MB.OS does more than process data. It interacts naturally. The new MBUX Virtual Assistant, powered by Microsoft and Google AI, can field questions, provide detailed responses, and hold follow-up conversations without losing context. Pair that with the MBUX Hyperscreen, now a seamless 39.1-inch sweep of glass across the dash, and the interior feels less like a cockpit and more like a living, evolving digital lounge.

Design That Redefines the Familiar
The new GLC does not abandon its iconic silhouette. Instead, it evolves with confidence. The redefined Mercedes-Benz face now features an illuminated, chromed grille that makes an unmistakable statement of presence and prestige. Inside, Sensual Purity reaches new heights with floating digital displays, ambient lighting, and a SKY CONTROL panoramic roof that projects 162 illuminated stars into the night sky.
For the first time, Mercedes-Benz is also offering a certified vegan interior package. It makes the company the first automaker to achieve independent certification for a fully animal-free cabin. It is a subtle but significant detail that aligns luxury with progressive values.
Performance Without Compromise
Mercedes-Benz has equipped the new GLC with an 800-volt battery architecture that enables up to 303 kilometers of range added in just ten minutes of charging. The GLC 400 4MATIC leads the lineup with 360 kilowatts of power and up to 713 kilometers of range (WLTP). Bidirectional charging capability allows the SUV to power your home or feed electricity back into the grid, a reminder that the GLC is not only a vehicle but also an energy hub.
On the road, S-Class technology ensures the ride remains unmistakably Mercedes. Adaptive air suspension, rear-axle steering, and the new One-Box braking system combine smoothness with agility. The result is a midsize SUV that can devour highway miles with ease while still feeling nimble in tighter city streets.

The Future, Wrapped in Familiar Luxury
For customers who know and love the GLC, this new chapter feels both radical and reassuring. It is still versatile, still luxurious, and still unmistakably Mercedes-Benz.

When the all-new GLC arrives in 2026, it will not just continue a legacy. It will define the next one.
