Mercedes-Benz unveiled its latest electric SUV, the 2027 Mercedes-Benz GLC-class EV, at the IAA show in Munich and gave the first peek at a new face that looks like it will spread across the German brand’s electric lineup. The GLC EV wears a dazzling grille composed of 942 individual illuminated square dots. A shadowy teaser image for the upcoming C-class EV shows a similarly ornamental front end.Mercedes-Benz
The C-class EV will likely share a platform with the new 2027 GLC-class EV.

The darkened image doesn’t show much, but the light-up grille is clearly visible, featuring a narrow LED strip around the outside border of the vaguely hexagonal panel. Within the grille, there are rows of tiny square elements divided by horizontal vanes. At the bottom, the light show stops, and there appears to be an actual opening to allow cool air to flow to the battery and motors.
Not much else is visible, but we can see a clear sedan shape and headlights that angle downward and contain a thin LED “eyebrow” and an LED element in the shape of the three-pointed star found in the iconic Mercedes-Benz badge. The glitzy grille is optional on the GLC EV—the standard grille has the same look but isn’t backlit—and the same should hold true for the impending electric sedan.

The C-class EV is expected to debut at some point in 2026 and will likely go on sale in the United States the following year. The arrival of the electric compact luxury sedan could coincide with a refresh for the gas-powered C-class, since the current generation first went on sale for the 2022 model year.
The C-class EV will likely share a platform with the GLC EV, which is being offered with either a 369-hp single-motor or 483-hp dual-motor powertrain. The all-wheel-drive GLC EV is expected to return around 376 miles of range via a 94-kWh battery pack. Look for more information to be revealed about the Mercedes-Benz C-class EV over the coming year.

The GLC-class with EQ Technology joins Mercedes’s ever-growing electric lineup as a more mainstream offering that looks to sway the masses.By Jack FitzgeraldPublished: Sep 8, 2025

- The Mercedes-Benz GLC-class lineup is expanding with the introduction of the 2027 Mercedes-Benz GLC with EQ Technology.
- The GLC EV rides on a brand-new platform with a longer wheelbase, unique sheetmetal, and fresh interior styling.
- The GLC EV will be sold in two trims, with the first showing up in late 2026 and the second arriving in early 2027.
Mercedes-Benz continues to push itself into a new era. Most of the EVs the automaker has launched up to this point have been confined to the upper echelons of the lineup. The CLA-class EV is scheduled to break that mold when it goes on sale later this year. Now, Mercedes has just revealed its next mainstream EV, the 2027 GLC with EQ Technology, which will join the CLA EV in late 2026.

While some EVs are built on existing internal-combustion platforms, Mercedes developed the GLC EV entirely from scratch. Despite sharing a name with the combustion-engined GLC-class, everything from the wheelbase to the sheetmetal to the interior design is unique to the EV.
Still, that doesn’t mean Mercedes went to drastic lengths to differentiate the two, and the EV is still very much recognizable as a GLC from first glance. The most immediate discernible difference is the optional new grille that features a matrix design made up of 942 backlit dots. Along with the more attention-grabbing grille, the GLC EV is slightly larger: at 190.7 inches, it measures five inches longer from nose to tail than the gasser.
Two Trims, Two Powertrains
The GLC EV will come in two flavors. The GLC400 4Matic will reach customers first with a motor for each axle, giving it all-wheel drive. The dual-motor setup produces 483 horsepower and 596 pound-feet of torque, which Mercedes says is enough to launch the GLC400 to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds.

The GLC300+ launches second, and while it misses out on the 400’s front motor, it still makes a healthy 369 horsepower and 372 pound-feet of torque. Mercedes claims the rear-drive GLC EV will need 5.9 seconds to reach 60 mph.
Both models will be equipped with a two-speed transmission for the motor on the rear axle. The first gear has an 11:1 ratio, which should help with acceleration, towing, and efficiency, while the second gear has a 5:1 ratio to improve power delivery and efficiency at higher speeds.
Screens Galore
The star of the GLC EV’s interior is the latest version of Merc’s optional Hyperscreen. In the GLC EV, it stretches from A-pillar to A-pillar and measures 39.1 inches, making it the largest continuous screen Mercedes has ever offered.
View Interior PhotosMercedes-Benz
The display’s operating system supports the newest version of Microsoft Teams, and according to Mercedes, drivers can use the in-car camera even while the vehicle is moving to call in to meetings. In order to comply with local laws, the meeting’s video feed automatically turns off when the GLC EV starts moving, so while your boss can watch you driving, you can’t see them.
Customers who don’t want to fork over the extra cash for the huge screen will have to make do with a 10.25-inch digital instrument panel, a 14-inch center infotainment touchscreen, and a 14-inch screen mounted to the dash in front of the passenger. That’s still more than enough screen real estate, if you ask us.
Range and Charging
Both the GLC300+ and the GLC450 feature an 800-volt architecture and come fitted with the same 94.0-kWh lithium-ion battery pack. EPA range estimates for the GLC EV aren’t available just yet, but we expect an official rating of about 376 miles based on the more forgiving European WLTP estimate Mercedes provided.

That 800-volt architecture means GLC EV drivers will spend less time sitting at a charging station. The battery will surge from 10 to 80 percent in 24 minutes, Mercedes says, when hooked up to a suitable DC fast charger. If you’ve only got ten minutes to charge, Mercedes says you should be able to net 160 miles of range, based on WLTP estimates.
Skip the lot. Let Car and Driver help you find your next car.
According to Mercedes, the new batteries were developed with maintenance and repair in mind. The electrical unit for the battery is accessible from below the car, meaning it can be fixed or replaced without ripping apart the entire battery.
The GLC400 will be the first variant to launch and should arrive in late 2026. The GLC300+ is scheduled to arrive shortly after in early 2027. Official pricing for the GLC EV pairing will be released closer to their on-sale dates. The GLC EV will square up directly against the recently revealed BMW iX3, which packs a 463-hp, all-wheel-drive powertrain good for around 400 miles of range.
