At IAA Mobility 2025 in Munich, Mercedes-Benz unveiled the long-awaited GLC 400 4MATIC EQ Technology—the first fully electric version of its bestseller. The debut became the centerpiece of the brand’s stand, underlining its new electrification strategy.

The electric crossover packs dual motors with a combined output of up to 360 kW (489 hp) and 800 Nm of torque. It sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds, while maximum range reaches 637 km (WLTP). At its core sits a 94 kWh battery that supports DC fast charging.

The GLC 400 EQ is the first series-production Mercedes to embody the brand’s new design language: a signature grille with a pixel motif, a reworked silhouette, and a clear focus on aerodynamics. Crucially, it preserves the GLC’s familiar identity—changes that read as modern without alienating long-time owners.

Inside, the cabin pushes the digital experience further. Debuting here is the nearly 40-inch MBUX Hyperscreen—the largest display ever fitted to a Mercedes—merging instruments and infotainment into a single surface with matrix backlighting, zonal dimming, and crisp resolution. The MB.OS platform shapes a personalized ambience, blending digital and physical elements into a cohesive whole that feels thoughtfully integrated rather than merely showy.

Mercedes-Benz also leans into practicality and premium touches: improved ergonomics, fresh MANUFAKTUR finishes, adaptive driving assistants, and a bundle of digital services—the kind of mix that suggests substance behind the screen-led spectacle.

In short, the GLC 400 4MATIC EQ arrives not just as an electric continuation of a successful line, but as a marker of the brand’s new era—elegant, high-tech, and genuinely ready for daily use with range to spare.
