Mercedes-Benz GLC with EQ Technology

39.1-inch “MBUX Hyperscreen”

At CES 2026, the world’s largest technology trade show, which heralds the start of 2026, Mercedes-Benz will unveil the new GLC with EQ Technology, which features a fully electric powertrain. The GLC has been a best-selling model in the US market for many years, and the new GLC with EQ Technology will complement the current model, which is equipped with an internal combustion engine (ICE).

The GLC with EQ Technology is the successor to the EQC and is based on the all-electric MB.EA architecture. It features a number of innovative technologies that elevate the driving experience to a new level, including the 39.1-inch MBUX Hyperscreen, the largest display in Mercedes-Benz history, and the first independently certified vegan interior from an automaker.

The MBUX Hyperscreen, which integrates the driving experience with the spatial experience, is available in up to 11 different background motif styles. The meters, controls, and ambient lighting are also linked to the selected style. The MB.OS control unit system seamlessly blends the physical and digital worlds, creating a unique interior space.

Launch in the US market from late 2026

The car also comes equipped with advanced features such as intelligent air suspension and the world’s first in-car infotainment system, the 4th generation MBUX, which integrates AI from Microsoft and Google. The fully electric powertrain is equipped with an 800V charging system for rapid charging and offers advanced driver assistance technologies, resulting in a safer and more intuitive driving experience.

The GLC with EQ technology will be showcased at the Dolby Live Theater in Las Vegas, where demonstrations of Dolby Atmos spatial audio via music streaming and Apple CarPlay will also be featured. Dolby Atmos, already available in the new CLA and GLB, will also be available in the new GLC, bringing an unprecedented immersive sound experience.

The GLC 400 with EQ Technology will have a maximum output of 489 PS (360 kW) and a maximum range of 713 km (WLTP cycle). It is scheduled to be launched in the US market in late 2026.
