Mercedes-Benz will unveil the all-new electric GLC at CES 2026, marking its first appearance on U.S. soil. The GLC has been one of the brand’s best-selling models in America for decades. The electric version complements the current bestseller and introduces new technology and performance features.
The debut occurs at Dolby Live in Las Vegas. The showcase pairs the electric GLC with immersive audio demonstrations, including native sound integrations and Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos in Apple CarPlay. Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos in CarPlay is already available in the CLA and GLB models and will come to the electric GLC.
The electric GLC includes the AI-powered MB.OS platform. It offers an optional 39.1-inch MBUX Hyperscreen, the largest continuous screen in any Mercedes-Benz. An optional independently certified vegan interior marks the first from any automaker. Other features include intelligent air suspension and the fourth-generation MBUX infotainment system, the world’s first to integrate AI from both Microsoft and Google.
The vehicle features an 800-volt charging system for rapid charging. MB.DRIVE provides next-generation driver assistance technologies. It delivers 483 horsepower and an estimated range of up to 713 kilometers. The electric GLC will join the U.S. lineup in the second half of 2026.
At Dolby Live Theater, demonstrations highlight music streaming through native integrations and Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos in Apple CarPlay. The showcase also features native audiobook streaming in Dolby Atmos and enhanced Apple CarPlay functionality. The electric GLC displays the latest seamless pillar-to-pillar MBUX Hyperscreen.
At the Xperi Booth, Mercedes-Benz demonstrates enhanced video streaming in the all-new electric CLA. DTS AutoStage Video, powered by TiVo, enables this capability. RIDEVU by Sony Pictures Entertainment provides IMAX Enhanced content and DTS:X sound, increasing entertainment options.
