The 2027 Mercedes-Benz GLC 400 4MATIC® Electric SUV produces 483 hp and reaches 60 mph in 4.2 seconds. DC fast charging on its 800V architecture takes the battery from 10% to 80% in approximately 22 minutes. This page covers every equipment tier, spec, and standard feature, with inventory available at Mercedes-Benz of Abilene.

What's New for 2027

The 2027 GLC Electric brings a fully electric powertrain to the GLC nameplate for the first time in the U.S. market. Dual permanently excited synchronous motors combine for 483 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque, delivered through fully variable 4MATIC® all-wheel drive.

The 800V electrical architecture enables DC fast charging up to 330 kW, which takes the battery from 10% to 80% in approximately 22 minutes. The system also accepts 400V DC charging at up to 100 kW for broader station compatibility. AC charging runs at 9.6 kW through a J1772 connector, with a full 0-to-100% charge taking approximately 12.5 hours. DC fast charging uses the North American Charging Standard connector.

The fourth-generation MBUX system replaces the third-generation MBUX found in the combustion-engine GLC 300 and GLC 300 4MATIC® SUV. A front trunk, or frunk, adds 4.5 cubic feet of storage that combustion-engine GLC models cannot offer.

Who It's For vs. the Prior GLC Lineup

Buyers stepping from the 2026 or earlier GLC 300 SUV to the 2027 GLC Electric are trading a turbocharged four-cylinder for a dual-motor electric powertrain with 228 more horsepower and no tailpipe emissions. The 800V architecture's 22-minute 10%-to-80% charge time helps narrow the gap with traditional refueling in real-world use.

The GLC 300 SUV and GLC 350e 4MATIC® SUV remain suitable choices for buyers who prefer a combustion engine or want a plug-in hybrid with lower curb weight. The GLC 400 4MATIC® Electric SUV suits buyers who want fully electric daily driving without giving up towing capability, cargo volume, or the GLC's familiar dimensions.

Feature availability, package content, Digital Extras, charging access, warranty coverage, range, towing capacity, performance figures, equipment, software update availability, driver assistance systems, and exterior color availability may vary by model, production timing, battery state, charging equipment, driving conditions, and vehicle-specific configuration. Confirm all specifications and coverage terms on the specific vehicle before purchase or lease.
