  • Launch specification GLC 400 4MATIC uses dual motors rated at 360 kW, accelerates 0–100 km/h in 4.3 seconds, and is limited to 210 km/h.
  • The MB.EA platform brings 800‑volt tech with a roughly 94–94.5 kWh battery, WLTP range up to about 713 km, and peak DC charging up to 330 kW with a claim of ~300 km added in 10 minutes.
  • Sales are slated to open before Christmas with first European deliveries targeted for spring 2026, according to Mercedes, with additional variants including rear‑drive and an LFP option planned.
  • Pricing guidance centers around roughly €70,000 for the launch model with later base versions near €60,000, though final prices were not confirmed.
  • Mercedes drops strict EQ subbranding by billing the car as the “GLC with EQ technology” and equips it with MB.OS, an optional 39‑inch display, Level‑3 readiness, 570–1,740 liters of cargo space, a 128‑liter frunk, and 2.4‑ton towing.
