2027 Mercedes-Benz GLC EQ

Although it shares a name with a gas-powered model, the GLC with EQ Technology is an all-new, all-electric compact SUV. The exterior looks like an evolution of existing Mercedes-Benz models, but underneath is a technology showcase for the brand. There's new energy-dense battery chemistry, 800-volt electrical architecture, and AI-powered voice assistants that can understand plain English. The first models to go on sale will be powered by dual-electric motors producing 483 horsepower and a 94-kWh battery, and will come standard with all-wheel drive. A giant, dashboard-spanning touchscreen is optional, as are four-wheel steering and an air suspension. It appears to be slightly simpler than other new Mercedes models, but we wish it had regular door handles and more physical controls.

Brand context

About Mercedes-Benz

Most Mercedes-Benzes give their owners industry-leading comfort and technology. The cost of that experience is an expensive base price with expensive options and below-average reliability. The brand produces a wide variety of vehicles for the U.S., including coupes, station wagons, sedans, convertibles, and even two-seat sports cars. Its two- and three-row SUVs that we’ve tested have powerful engines and interiors that are roomy and quiet. Generally, Mercedes-Benz fit and finish, inside and out, is exceptional and helps justify prices. Mercedes-Benz’s EVs range from compact to large three-row SUVs. Across the lineup, controls for the complex climate and infotainment systems aren’t as intuitive as we find in other luxury vehicles. Like most European luxury brands, used Mercedes-Benzes can have expensive out-of-warranty repairs, although Consumer Reports has found used models with above-average reliability.
