Overview
- Mercedes-Benz Australia says the GLC400 will start local deliveries in the fourth quarter of 2026 with an estimated entry price near A$110,000 before on-road costs.
- The launch GLC400 is reported at 360 kW and 800 Nm with a 94 kWh battery and an 800-volt system claiming 715 km WLTP range and a 10–80% DC charge in about 22 minutes.
- A rear-drive GLC300+ is slated for mid-2027 with a single 275 kW motor and more than 750 km claimed range, which Drive reports could place it under Australia’s Luxury Car Tax threshold.
- The cabin runs a full-width MBUX Hyperscreen on the new MB.OS, with AI integrations from Microsoft, Google and ChatGPT that reviewers say are fast yet potentially distracting due to the screen’s size.
- Global demand has reportedly outpaced output, with the Bremen plant running three shifts, which has influenced Australia’s later start versus earlier mid-2026 expectations.
