Mercedes’ best-selling SUV is about to go electric. The GLC EV will make its official debut in less than two months at IAA Mobility 2025 in Munich, where Mercedes-Benz will offer a glimpse of its upcoming models and much more.
When will the Mercedes GLC EV debut?
“We’re not just introducing a new model – we’re electrifying our top seller,” according to Mercedes-Benz Group CEO, Ola Källenius.
The GLC SUV remained the most popular Mercedes-Benz SUV in the US and globally through the first half of the year.
Mercedes has been hyping the GLC EV for some time now, releasing teaser images and “spy photos” of it testing in the frigid northern Swedish countryside. Earlier this month, CEO Ola Källenius gave us an exclusive preview of the electric SUV during a test drive.
The luxury automaker claims the electric GLC “is the first of a whole new series of cars with elevated Mercedes-Benz iconic design,” adding it “presents a new face of the brand.”
According to Mercedes, it “embodies everything expected” from its top seller. The new model is “iconic, versatile, intuitive and smooth.” We will see it for the first time in less than two months.
Although it was expected, Mercedes confirmed for the first time on Monday that the all-new GLC EV will indeed debut at this year’s Munich Auto Show, which kicks off on September 9.
Mercedes says the event “begins an exciting new era” for the luxury brand with its biggest product launch ever. Alongside the electric GLC, Mercedes will hold the world premiere for the new CLA EV, CLA Shooting Brake, and Concept AMG GT XX.
We will also get a sneak peek into the future of Mercedes-Benz vans with a camouflaged prototype of the electric VLE, which is set to launch in 2026.
At the show, Mercedes will showcase its latest tech like the new Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), Intelligent Cockpit, and more.
Visitors can also drive demo models to test out the self-driving tech (MB.DRIVE ASSIST PRO) firsthand. If you’re feeling up to it, you can also try out DRIVE PILOT, “the world’s fastest system for conditionally automated driving.” The system supports speeds of up to 95 km/h (59 mph).
