Mercedes’ Electric GLC Debuts at Munich IAA With 700‑Km Range and 800‑V Fast Charging

Sales begin before Christmas with first European deliveries planned for spring.

Overview

  • First variant is the GLC 400 4MATIC with dual motors rated around 360 kW (489–490 PS), 0–100 km/h in 4.3 seconds and a top speed of 210 km/h.
  • A 94 kWh battery and 800‑volt architecture target roughly 710–713 kilometres of range with DC charging quoted up to 330–360 kW, adding about 300 km in 10 minutes at a hypercharger.
  • The SUV grows to 4.85 metres with a 2.97‑metre wheelbase and offers 570–1,740 litres of cargo space plus a 128‑litre frunk and up to 2.4‑tonne towing capacity.
  • Pricing was not formally disclosed, but reports indicate an entry near €70,000 for the GLC 400 and later lower‑priced variants, including a rear‑wheel‑drive base model around €60,000.
  • Positioned directly against BMW’s new iX3 on the same show floor, the GLC adopts a chrome grille and a near one‑metre digital cockpit as Mercedes moves away from its earlier EQ look.
