Mercedes-Benz is preparing a real technological tidal wave with the 100 % electric version of its best-selling SUV, the GLC. The German manufacturer has just confirmed that the model will be revealed in September 2025 au Munich Showbefore a marketing planned for early 2026.
A battery in advance on its time
The great revolution of this electric GLC will come from its new generation of batterywithSilicon oxide anodesa technology still very rare in the sector. Result: a Energy density up to 20 % higher to that of classic graphite batteries.
Mercedes announces that his future electric SUV could exceed 700 km of WLTP autonomywhich would do it One of the most enduring models on the market. A credible figure if we consider that the CLA 250+ already reaches 792 km with the same technology.

The Electric GLC will come to position itself in the face of formidable competition already well established on the market. Among its main challengers, we find the Porsche Macan Electric and theAudi Q6 e-trontwo premium SUVs also based on an 800V architecture.
Where Mercedes wants to hit hard is on the Report autonomy/technologybetting on a Autonomy greater than 700 km and a Unpublished charging speed of 320 kW. Thanks to its by-Wire direction and its silicon anode battery, the GLC clearly seeks to Take the head of the premium electric SUV segment.
This complete 4 × 4 at the cost of a city car upset the codes of all-terrain accessible
| Model | Autonomy (WLTP) | Electrical architecture | Max charging power | Transmission | Battery | Year of exit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mercedes GLC Electric | > 700 km (estimated) | 800V | 320 kW | Propulsion / 4Matic (with deactivation av) | Silicon anodes (unconfirmed capacity) | 2026 |
| Porsche Macan Electric | 612 km | 800V | 270 kW | AWD (bi-mote) | 100 kWh (not) | 2024 |
| Audi Q6 e-tron | 625 km | 800V | 270 kW | AWD (four) | 94.9 KWH (NOT) | 2024 |
800 volts architecture for ultra-rapid loads
Another major novelty, the electric GLC will adopt a architecture 800 voltsidentical to that of the future electric CLA. This technology not only allows Reduce energy lossesbut also to reach speeds of recharge up to 320 kW.
With such power, it will be possible to recover 300 km of autonomy in just 10 minutesthree times faster than the old EQC.
Electronic direction and unprecedented transmission
The new GLC will also be one of the first Mercedes models to introduce the Steer-by-Wire electronic steering systemwithout mechanical connection between the steering wheel and the wheels. In terms of driving, it will offer versions propulsion et 4Matic all -wheel drive.
4Matic models will have a front engine deactivable To optimize consumption, while the rear engine will be coupled with a two -speed transmissionideal for agility in the city and efficiency on the highway.
