The 2027 Mercedes-Benz GLC Electric SUV debuts fourth-generation MBUX powered by MB.OS, the Mercedes-Benz Operating System. This is the first GLC in the U.S. to offer an optional 39.1-inch seamless MBUX Hyperscreen spanning the full dashboard width. This page covers key technology and infotainment features of the 2027 Mercedes-Benz GLC Electric SUV, along with current availability at Mercedes-Benz of Abilene.
Technology Feature Overview
The 2027 GLC 400 4MATIC® Electric SUV is built around the fourth-generation Mercedes-Benz User Experience platform, known as MBUX. MBUX 4th Gen runs on MB.OS, the Mercedes-Benz Operating System, integrating infotainment, driver-assistance functions, connectivity, and vehicle controls within a unified software architecture.
The architecture supports integrated system operation and over-the-air software updates for compatible functions when available. The zero-layer interface can surface contextually relevant functions on the primary display layer without requiring the driver to navigate through multiple submenus.
Standard hardware includes a 10.25-inch digital driver display, a 14-inch central multimedia touchscreen, and a 14-inch Digital Trim Panel for the passenger side. An optional front-passenger display and the optional MBUX Hyperscreen, a single seamless 39.1-inch panel that stretches across the full width of the dashboard, create a screen-focused dashboard layout.
MBUX Profile Authentication can use facial recognition to identify an authorized profile and load supported personalized settings, including applicable seat, climate, audio, and display preferences depending on vehicle configuration and account setup.
How MBUX 4th Gen and MB.OS Work
MB.OS is the Mercedes-Benz Operating System supporting multimedia, navigation, connectivity, driver-assistance coordination, and vehicle functions within a unified software environment.
Over-the-air updates can provide compatible software updates when available. Update content, timing, eligibility, and supported functions can vary.
The zero-layer menu concept can use contextual information such as time, location, calendar data, and driving patterns to surface relevant functions. Depending on enabled services, permissions, and learned routines, the interface can present frequently used destinations or connected functions such as the available myQ Connected Garage Door Opener.
The MBUX voice assistant supports natural-language commands for compatible navigation, climate, entertainment, charging, and vehicle functions.

MBUX Navigation with Electric Intelligence is included as a Digital Extra for seven years. The route-planning system accounts for the GLC Electric's 331-mile range, real-time charging network availability, battery state, and temperature conditions. It can calculate charging stops for longer trips, precondition the battery before a planned DC fast-charging stop to support charging performance under suitable conditions, and adjust route suggestions as conditions change.
Live Traffic Information and no-charge navigation map updates are also included for seven years.
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are available as Digital Extras and connect without a cable.
The available Digital Vehicle Key allows compatible iPhone and Apple Watch devices to perform applicable vehicle-access and start functions without requiring the physical key for those supported uses through the Mercedes-Benz app.
