"The Mercedes-Benz GLC with EQ Technology is its most important EV yet, bringing Mercedes's newest tech to its most important segment. The GLC will offer over 400 miles of range and comes with an absolute boatload of AI features. Mercedes needs the GLC, as the company struggles with declining China sales and weak demand for its existing EVs. Mercedes is in the middle of an electric-car do-over. The brand bet big on EVs initially, only to find a lukewarm reception for its egg-shaped EQ cars."
"Instead of a second-generation EQC, this is the GLC with EQ Technology, an admittedly inelegant name that nevertheless captures what the mission is: deliver an electric take on Mercedes's best-seller, the GLC compact luxury crossover. That means it'll go right against the new BMW iX3. It'll arrive at battle with much of the same kit that BMW is bringing into its next-gen crossover: An 800-volt-class architecture, a new software suite, a promise of constant over-the-air improvements, a more efficient powertrain and an AI-enabled cockpit."
Mercedes's 2026 GLC with EQ Technology delivers an electric version of the automaker's best-selling GLC compact luxury crossover, prioritizing improved software, conventional design, and efficient drivetrains. The model includes an 800-volt-class architecture, over-the-air updates, and an AI-enabled cockpit. Mercedes promises over 400 miles of range and will launch with two powertrains: a rear-wheel-drive GLC 300+ W/EQ Technology rated at 369 hp and 371 lb-ft, and an all-wheel-drive GLC 400 4Matic with 483 hp and 596 lb-ft. The GLC targets competition such as the BMW iX3 and aims to address weak EV demand and declining China sales.
