With the approaching debut of the all-electric GLC, Mercedes-Benz is ramping up its electric car drive. The EV SUV, which is scheduled to make its debut at the 2025 Munich Auto Show, is now being put through its paces on the road, and some significant information has already come to light.

With the official name of GLC 400 4MATIC with EQ Technology, the new model continues the naming trend seen on the electric G-Class. Despite its mouthful of a name, this GLC stays true to what Mercedes does best, which is combining practical daily use with cutting-edge electric technology.

This car, in contrast to earlier models with distinct EQ branding, promoted itself as an electric version of the current combustion GLC rather than a radical change.

Rapid charging and adaptable infrastructure

One of the GLC EV's most notable features is its ability to charge at a rapid rate. According to reports, the car has a maximum charging rate of over 320 kW, which allows it to increase its range by up to 260 km in just 10 minutes. Not only is that quick by today's standards, but it also addresses legitimate worries about the practical use of electric vehicles.

The integrated converter enhances the 800V architecture's versatility by allowing it to charge from 400V public stations, which is a useful feature that the newer CLA EV originally lacked. As its electric vehicle lineup matures, Mercedes appears to be improving its strategy by learning from its own rollout errors.

practical designs and real-world applications

Although the GLC EV's performance data is still being kept under wraps by Mercedes, Ola Kallenius, the company's CEO, gave a hint that the car could be faster than anticipated for its class, with a forceful acceleration reminiscent of the AMG GT.

But it's not just about speed. The GLC 400 4MATIC will also have a towing capability of 2,400 kg, which is more than competitors like the Porsche Macan Electric. It is thus one of the very few electric SUVs that strikes a balance between performance and adequate cargo capacity.

More room inside, optional ride tech

The longer wheelbase and bigger boot of the ICE-powered GLC are anticipated to improve interior space. A little frunk increases functionality. Mercedes also confirms that the GLC will be positioned for a comfortable yet nimble driving experience by offering features like air suspension and rear-axle steering through an optional package.

Retro-inspired fashion

The GLC EV will not opt for a futuristic minimalist approach, which is intriguing. The front-end design of the new Mercedes is reminiscent of vintage versions like the 300SEL 6.3, particularly the grille's size. The future's technology is wrapped around a little nod to the past.

The electric GLC seems to be taking shape as a mature, usable, and practical EV aimed squarely at the mainstream premium SUV market as the Munich debut draws nearer, rather than a revolutionary idea.
