5 Ways the All-New 2027 GLC SUV with EQ Technology Delivers Without Compromise

The midsize luxury SUV has long been the vehicle of choice for drivers who refuse to choose between capability and refinement. For years, the Mercedes-Benz GLC has answered that call, becoming the brand's most popular model worldwide. Now, the all-new 2027 GLC with EQ Technology arrives in the second half of 2026, bringing electric-first engineering to a nameplate that has defined versatility in its segment. Built on an entirely new platform and powered by the intelligent MB.OS operating system, this electric GLC expands what drivers in Mirabel and across Quebec can expect from a luxury SUV.

The 2027 GLC with EQ Technology stands out through its refusal to compromise. This SUV delivers across every dimension that matters: towing capacity, interior technology, ride quality, and cargo flexibility. From its electric-first architecture to its advanced driver assistance systems, the new GLC addresses the real-world needs of drivers who demand more. Here are five ways the all-new 2027 GLC with EQ Technology delivers without compromise.

• Towing Capability That Matches Your Adventures

For drivers who tow boats to Lac des Deux Montagnes or transport equipment for weekend getaways in the Laurentians, towing capacity is non-negotiable. The 2027 GLC 400 4MATIC with EQ Technology offers a towing capacity of up to 2,400 kg (5,291 lbs) when properly equipped, with a 100 kg (220 lbs) tongue weight that accommodates bike carriers and other gear. This capability puts the electric GLC on par with many combustion-engine SUVs in its class, proving that electrification doesn't require sacrificing utility.

The GLC's electric drivetrain delivers instant torque, which translates to confident acceleration even when towing. ESP trailer stabilization and the available Digital Extra: Trailer Manoeuvring Assist simplify hitching and reversing with a trailer, reducing the complexity of manoeuvring in tight spaces. From hauling a small trailer to transporting recreational equipment, the 2027 GLC is engineered to handle the load with stability and control.

• Interior Space That Prioritizes Comfort

One of the most tangible benefits of the 2027 GLC's electric-first architecture is the increase in interior space. With a wheelbase that is 79 millimetres (3.1 inches) longer than the current combustion-engine GLC, the new model provides 13 millimetres (0.5 inches) more legroom and 46 millimetres (1.8 inches) more headroom for front passengers. Rear passengers gain 48 millimetres (1.9 inches) of legroom and 15 millimetres (0.6 inches) of headroom, creating a cabin that feels open and accommodating for families or groups.

The trunk offers 568 litres (20.1 cubic feet) of cargo space, expanding to 1,738 litres (61.4 cubic feet) with the rear seats folded. For smaller items or gear you want to keep separate, the frunk provides an additional 127 litres (4.5 cubic feet) of storage, accessible with a touch of the Mercedes-Benz star. The adjustable trunk floor can be lowered by 79 millimetres (3.1 inches), making it easier to load taller objects. This level of versatility ensures the GLC adapts to daily errands, family trips, and everything in between.

• Advanced Technology That Responds to Your Needs

The 2027 GLC with EQ Technology introduces the fourth generation of MBUX, powered by the MB.OS operating system. This intelligent platform transforms the GLC into a vehicle that learns, adapts, and evolves with its driver. The optional 39.1-inch MBUX HYPERSCREEN—the largest continuous display ever offered in a Mercedes-Benz—provides a digital experience with high resolution and innovative matrix backlight technology featuring over 1,000 individual LEDs. Zone dimming allows simultaneous adjustment of two display areas, a feature for which Mercedes-Benz has filed a patent.

For those who prefer a more traditional layout, the optional MBUX SUPERSCREEN combines three separate displays under a single glass surface: a 10.25-inch driver display, a 14-inch central display, and a 14-inch front passenger display. In standard configuration, the GLC features a digital trim element in place of the passenger display, which can show a personal photo or one of 12 predefined images. The MBUX Virtual Assistant integrates artificial intelligence from both Microsoft and Google, offering natural language interaction and proactive suggestions based on driving habits and preferences.

• Ride Quality That Adapts to Every Road

The optional Agility & Comfort Package brings AIRMATIC air suspension from the flagship S-Class to the 2027 GLC, paired with rear-axle steering that offers up to 4.5 degrees of steering angle in each direction. This combination delivers a ride that balances comfort and agility, absorbing road imperfections while maintaining precise handling. The infinitely adjustable damping system adapts to driving conditions in real time, from navigating city streets in Mirabel to cruising on Autoroute 15.

The GLC 400 4MATIC also includes a TERRAIN MODE drive programme for dirt or gravel roads, adjusting the characteristics of the drivetrain, steering, and brakes to suit the surface. When equipped with optional DIGITAL LIGHT, the off-road light function activates, providing wide illumination to help drivers recognize obstacles. The "transparent hood" function, available with the Digital Extra: MB.DRIVE PARKING ASSIST 360, combines images from the front and exterior mirror cameras to create a virtual view beneath the front of the vehicle, making it easier to navigate uneven terrain or tight parking situations.

• Charging Speed That Fits Your Schedule

The 2027 GLC with EQ Technology is built on an 800-volt electrical architecture, significantly reducing charging times when paired with the latest battery generation. At DC fast-charging stations, the GLC is capable of adding approximately 260 kilometres of range in just ten minutes—about the time it takes to grab a coffee or check your messages. DC fast charging at over 320 kilowatts is possible, while a DC converter enables the use of 400-volt charging stations across Canada.

The intelligent navigation system includes an integrated reservation function for select charging stations as part of the Digital Extra: MB.CHARGE Public, making it easier to plan longer trips with confidence. The multi-source heat pump, standard on the GLC, contributes to efficiency and thermal comfort, ensuring the cabin remains comfortable without significantly impacting range. For drivers in Quebec, this system helps maintain consistent range throughout the year, even during winter temperatures that can affect electric vehicle performance.
