Mercedes GLC Electric specifications

The SUV uses a 94 kWh usable battery on an 800 volt system and two electric motors. Together they make 360 kW and 800 Nm of torque. Mercedes quotes a 0 to 100 km/h time of 4.3 seconds.

Charging is where the 800 volt design matters. The car accepts DC fast charging of up to 330 kW. Under ideal conditions, the company says ten minutes can add up to 303 km of range. Real world results depend on the charger and the battery temperature.

Inside and outside

The cabin carries the MB.OS software platform, with navigation, driver assistance and over the air updates. A 39.1 inch MBUX Hyperscreen spans the dashboard. At the front, the illuminated grille uses 942 pixels, so it works as both a design feature and a light signature.

Charging support is part of the package. Buyers can choose a free AC wall box or MB.CHARGE public charging credits of 2,500 kWh, valid for 24 months, according to the same report.

Built in Pune

Production started at Mercedes-Benz India’s Chakan facility, and the first unit rolled out on 4 November 2026. Pune is one of two production sites for the electric GLC. The other is Bremen in Germany.

Local assembly usually helps with pricing and delivery times. However, buyers should still check final on road costs, insurance and registration benefits for their state, since EV incentives differ across India.

What buyers should check

Ask the dealer about the delivery slot, the wall box installation and the warranty terms for the battery. Also confirm which charging network credits apply in your city. Claimed range figures are lab based, so expect lower numbers in daily use.
