Mercedes-Benz’s all-new GLC electric SUV debuts with 713km range

Mercedes-Benz has showcased its all-new GLC EQ, an all-electric SUV set to reach showrooms in the first half of 2026. Positioned as the spiritual successor to the EQE SUV, it ushers in the next evolution of the brand’s 'Sensual Purity' design philosophy.

On the outside, the GLC EV makes an impression with its oversized grille, detailed with 942 illuminated dots surrounding the central three-pointed star. Star-shaped daytime running lights front the vehicle, while the rear features a continuous light strip composed of tiny star-shaped LEDs.

A roof spoiler enhances aerodynamics while complementing the sloping roofline. The GLC is said to achieve a claimed drag coefficient of 0.26. Wheel choices start at 20 inches, with 21-inch alloys available as an option.

Inside, the showstopper is the 39.1-inch MBUX Hyperscreen, the largest display Mercedes has ever installed in a vehicle. Stretching across the dashboard, it unites the driver’s display, central touchscreen, and passenger screen into a single, flowing unit. The latest MBUX software offers cleaner menus and an integrated AI assistant. Mercedes has retained physical buttons and knobs on the steering wheel and centre console, ensuring tactile controls remain at hand.
