Canadians can now shop for the all-new 2027 Mercedes-Benz GLC Electric.

The online configurator for the electric SUV has opened on the Mercedes-Benz Canada website.

The all-new GLC Electric is offered alongside the fuel-burning GLC, Mercedes-Benz’s popular crossover SUV.

At launch, the GLC Electric is available as the range-topping 2027 GLC 400 4MATIC Electric, while other models will arrive later.

The GLC 400 is powered by an all-wheel-drive propulsion system with 483 hp and 590 lb.-ft. of torque.

Zero to 100 km/h is reported in 4.3 seconds.

Canadian price

The starting Canadian manufacturer’s suggested retail price of the 2027 GLC 400 Electric is $78,400. Once various fees and levies are added, the starting price comes to $84,491, according to the online configurator.

As a comparison, the gasoline-burning 2026 GLC 300 4MATIC starts at $66,541 (MSRP of $60,450).

Available MBUX Hyperscreen

The electric GLC has the largest screen available of any Mercedes-Benz vehicle yet.

The SUV can be equipped with the MBUX Hyperscreen, a single dashboard screen that measures 99.3 centimetres (39.1 inches).

The screen includes up to 11 background styles.

Powering the screen and many vehicle functions is the company’s latest AI-driven MB.OS superbrain. Mercedes-Benz said the operating system can handle complexity akin to the human brain and is capable of 254 trillion operations per second.

The MBUX Hyperscreen is an $1,800 option, but it requires the inclusion of the Exclusive Trim, which adds another $2,300 to the vehicle’s price.

The Exclusive Trim adds:

• Mercedes-Benz Iconic Grille with illuminated panel
• Front passenger display
• 64-colour LED ambient lighting
• Illuminated door sills
• Sky Control

The Hyperscreen option replaces the front passenger display of the Exclusive Trim.

Other available options

Mercedes-Benz buyers can go quite wild with the options list, if they want to.

There are many interior upholstery, trim and colour options, exterior colour and appearance options and numerous features to choose from.

Here are some of the other available options:

• AMG Line – $4,100
• Climate control front seats – $700
• Front seat massage function – $100
• Burmester 3D surround sound – $1,200

Some of the above features are bundled into the Pinnacle Trim ($5,800) and/or Pinnacle Plus Trim ($8,500).

Range and charging

A Natural Resources Canada-certified estimated range hasn’t been posted yet. The automaker estimates the GLC 400 has a range of 568 and 715 kilometres.

It has a lithium-ion battery with 94 kWh of usable capacity, and runs on an 800-volt architecture.

DC fast-charging tops out at 330 kW at 800-volt Level 3 chargers and 100 kW at 400 volts.

Mercedes-Benz said the GLC can recharge from 10 to 80 per cent in 22 minutes at a 330-kW charge rate.
