Mercedes-Benz Korea has begun pre-orders for the first all-electric model of its mid-size SUV, the 'All-New Mercedes-Benz Electric GLC,' starting on the 9th. The pre-order campaign will be conducted through 65 official showrooms nationwide and the official website. The vehicle will be officially introduced to the domestic market this year, beginning with deliveries of two 'Launch Edition' models in the fourth quarter.
The All-New Electric GLC is the first model to apply Mercedes-Benz's dedicated electric architecture, 'MB.EA.' Compared to the existing internal combustion engine GLC, the wheelbase has been extended by 84mm, and both front and rear legroom and headroom have been expanded, resulting in a more spacious interior. The trunk capacity ranges from a standard 570 liters to a maximum of 1,740 liters when the rear seats are folded, and an additional 128-liter frunk is provided under the hood.
The vehicle features an 800V electric architecture and fast-charging system. Using South Korea's 330kW DC fast-charging infrastructure, the battery can be charged from 10% to 80% in approximately 22 minutes. Based on the GLC 300 4MATIC Electric, the maximum output is 310kW, and the WLTP-rated driving range per charge is 616km.
For digital and infotainment specifications, an AI-based 'MB.OS' and the fourth-generation MBUX system are equipped.
Inside, a 39.1-inch MBUX Hyperscreen is applied, supporting voice assistant functions integrated with ChatGPT and Microsoft Bing, as well as advanced driver assistance systems like 'MB.DRIVE Assist.' As specifications exclusive to the Korean market, 'Tmap Auto' navigation, LG Uplus 'Live TV+', and a Jinimusic service supporting Dolby Atmos are included as standard.
The domestic launch prices are 90 million won for the 'GLC 300 4MATIC AMG LINE Electric,' and 94.8 million won for the 'GLC 300 4MATIC AMG LINE+ Electric,' which adds air suspension and rear-axle steering (up to 4.5 degrees). The higher trim, 'GLC 400 4MATIC Electric,' is scheduled for additional release in the first half of next year.
