An SUV Built for Tomorrow

The GLC 400 4MATIC is the first model in a new family of electric-first Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Built on a fresh electric architecture, it blends performance, intelligence, and sustainability in ways no midsize SUV has before.

• Range: Up to 713 km (WLTP) on a single charge.
• Charging: Up to 330 kW DC fast charging – 10 to 80 percent in just 22 minutes.
• Performance: 0–100 km/h in 4.3 seconds with 360 kW peak output.
• Efficiency: Consumption between 14.9 and 18.8 kWh/100 km – among the best in its class.

This isn’t just a car designed to compete. It’s a car designed to lead.

A Statement of Design

The all-new GLC wears its innovation on its face – quite literally. For the first time, the iconic Mercedes grille has been reimagined as an illuminated high-tech masterpiece with 942 backlit points, giving the SUV a futuristic signature. The silhouette, with sculpted shoulders and powerful arches, exudes confidence and aerodynamic efficiency (drag coefficient: 0.26).

Step inside and you’re greeted by the seamless 99.3 cm MBUX Hyperscreen, the largest in a Mercedes yet. Floating across the dash, it combines dazzling visuals with intuitive AI-driven interaction. Add the SKY CONTROL panoramic roof – able to display 162 illuminated stars at night – and the cabin becomes nothing short of cosmic.

Luxury with a Conscience

Mercedes-Benz has made sustainability a cornerstone of this model. The GLC achieves a two-thirds reduction in carbon footprint across its lifecycle compared to its combustion sibling.

• Carbon-reduced aluminum is used for body, wheels, and even the battery housing – reducing footprint by 40 percent.
• New-generation battery with 94 kWh usable energy and 30 percent lower cell footprint.
• Recycled materials everywhere – seat foams with 30 percent recycled content, PET bottle fabrics, Econyl yarn carpets, and thermoplastics with doubled recycled content.
• World’s first vegan-certified interior, with all soft-touch surfaces certified by The Vegan Society.

This isn’t sustainability as a buzzword. It’s sustainability as craftsmanship.

Intelligence at the Core: MB.OS Superbrain

At the heart of the GLC lies the Mercedes-Benz Operating System (MB.OS) – an AI-driven superbrain capable of 254 trillion operations per second. It orchestrates everything from driving dynamics and infotainment to charging and safety.

The MBUX Virtual Assistant is powered by both Microsoft and Google AI. It can carry on natural, multi-turn conversations, give navigation advice with Google Maps integration, and even answer questions like a knowledgeable friend.

This is not just a car. It’s an intelligent digital companion.

Everyday Versatility

Luxury doesn’t mean compromise. The GLC 400 4MATIC offers:

• Spaciousness: 84 mm longer wheelbase than before, giving passengers up to 47 mm more rear legroom
• Cargo: 570 liters in the boot, expandable to 1,740 liters, plus a 128-liter frunk.
• Towing: Up to 2.4 tonnes, with ESP trailer stabilization and Trailer Manoeuvring Assist. Perfect for caravans, boats, or horse trailers.
• Driving programs: Including TERRAIN mode and the “transparent bonnet” camera view for off-road adventures.

It’s an electric SUV ready for real lives, not just city commutes.

Comfort and Driving Dynamics

The GLC carries over air suspension technology from the S-Class, with rear-axle steering up to 4.5 degrees. This makes it as agile in city streets as it is smooth on highways.

The new One-Box braking system recovers up to 300 kW during deceleration – meaning over 99 percent of daily braking regenerates energy rather than wasting it.

Inside, AGR-certified seats ensure back health, while ENERGIZING Comfort programs transform drives into wellness sessions, complete with ambient lighting, massage, and even soundscapes.

Charging Without Stress

Mercedes-Benz knows range anxiety kills EV enthusiasm. That’s why the GLC comes prepared:

• 800-volt architecture enables ultra-fast charging.
• MB.CHARGE connects drivers to more than 2.5 million global charging points, with exclusive reservation features at Mercedes-Benz charging parks.
• Bidirectional charging allows the SUV to power your home (V2H) or support the grid (V2G).
• Green Charging ensures renewable energy certificates back every charge, even if the local grid isn’t clean.

This is charging designed for peace of mind.

A New Benchmark

Ola Källenius, Chairman of the Board of Management at Mercedes-Benz, put it best: “We’re not just introducing a new model – we’re electrifying our top seller. The all-new GLC is comfort, dynamics, efficiency and intelligence in perfect harmony”.

The GLC 400 4MATIC with EQ Technology is more than another step in Mercedes’ electric journey. It is a bold declaration that luxury, performance, and sustainability can coexist – beautifully, seamlessly, and intelligently.

Final Word

The electric GLC is not just a car for today. It’s a vision of tomorrow – where driving is cleaner, smarter, and more human-centered. Mercedes-Benz has managed to blend sustainability with soul, intelligence with emotion, and technology with timeless design.

For anyone who believed that going electric meant giving something up, the GLC 400 4MATIC with EQ Technology is here to prove the opposite.
