Mercedes Opens Orders in Germany for Two Lower‑Priced Electric GLC Variants

The move broadens the GLC line with 85 kWh models that use the 800‑volt platform, offer very fast DC charging, and are slated for deliveries toward year‑end.

Overview

  • Mercedes opened the German configurator for the GLC 250 and GLC 300 4MATIC on Tuesday, June 9, 2026, making both models orderable with entry prices of €64,736 and €68,306 respectively.
  • Both new variants use an 85 kWh usable battery on the MB.EA‑M 800‑volt architecture and sit below the existing GLC 400 4MATIC, which retains a 94 kWh battery and higher performance.
  • Performance and WLTP ranges differ by model: the rear‑wheel‑drive GLC 250 delivers 260 kW, 0–100 km/h in 5.9 seconds and up to 647 km WLTP; the GLC 300 4MATIC makes 310 kW, 0–100 km/h in 4.7 seconds and up to 613 km WLTP; the GLC 400 remains the top spec at 360 kW and up to 673 km WLTP.
  • All three use 800‑volt charging with the new variants rated to 320 kW DC for a roughly 10–80% charge in about 22 minutes, a standard 11 kW AC onboard charger and a 22 kW AC option; using many 400‑volt public fast chargers requires an optional DC compatibility module reported at about €655.
  • Deliveries of the GLC 250 and GLC 300 4MATIC are expected toward the end of 2026, and media reports say Mercedes plans two more variants later in the year including a GLC 300+ with the 94 kWh pack and a lower‑spec entry model with roughly a 64 kWh battery.
