Mercedes Previews Electric GLC With 39.1-Inch Hyperscreen Ahead of Munich Debut

The model runs on the MB.EA 800‑volt platform with very high charging power.

Overview

  • Mercedes showed a pillar‑to‑pillar MBUX Hyperscreen measuring 39.1 inches that uses a matrix backlight with over 1,000 LEDs and a patented intelligent zone‑dimming function.
  • The giant display will be optional, with lower‑priced trims expected to use smaller, separate screens.
  • Built on the dedicated MB.EA architecture, the GLC EV supports 800‑volt charging reportedly at around 300–320 kW, enabling roughly 260 km (about 160 miles) of WLTP range to be added in around 10 minutes.
  • Cabin updates include coordinated ambient motifs that confirm climate changes with brief color shifts, available dual wireless phone chargers, a new hard‑key strip, and the return of physical volume controls.
  • Exterior images that appear to show the production SUV, including an illuminated pixel grille, leaked online ahead of today’s world premiere at IAA Mobility in Munich, where the EQC successor is expected to be detailed with global rollout plans including a U.S. launch targeted for 2026.
