Bookings for the Mercedes-Benz GLC Electric are open across India ahead of its launch on November 4. The price is expected at Rs 80 lakh to Rs 90 lakh ex-showroom, and deliveries of the India-made GLC 400 4MATIC are slated from mid-November.

One version: the GLC 400 4MATIC
India gets a single version, so there is no step up the range to weigh. The GLC 400 4MATIC is assembled at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Chakan, Pune. Here is what the international-spec car carries:
| Item | GLC 400 4MATIC |
|---|---|
| Battery | 94kWh |
| Claimed range | 715 km (WLTP) |
| Motors | Dual motor, all-wheel drive |
| Power and torque | 490hp, 800Nm |
| Fast charging | Up to 300 km added in 10 minutes, Mercedes claims |
| Seats | Five |
Treat these as a guide. The final specifications and certified range for the India-spec SUV are to be confirmed closer to launch, so the 715 km figure may change on Indian certification.
What is new inside
The cabin runs fourth-generation MBUX software with an AI-powered assistant. The headline feature is a 39.1-inch Hyperscreen across the dashboard.
On overseas cars the Hyperscreen is reported as an option rather than standard. Whether India-spec cars get it as standard is part of the specification Mercedes has yet to confirm, so check the final feature list before you commit.
Price, launch and deliveries
- Bookings opened: October 5
- Launch and final price: November 4
- Deliveries: from mid-November
- Expected price: Rs 80 lakh to Rs 90 lakh ex-showroom
The expected price is reported, not announced. Mercedes will set the final figure at launch. Its closest rival on paper, the BMW iX3 Long Wheelbase, is not due in India until 2027, which leaves the GLC Electric a clear run for now.
If you are weighing the electric car against the petrol and diesel SUVs, the Mercedes-Benz GLC on-road price page and the Mercedes-AMG GLC on-road price page list current figures. Purchase price is only part of the picture. Running costs for each fuel are not covered here.
