Mercedes-Benz GLC Electric India Launch Set For November 4
Mercedes-Benz is bringing an electric version of its GLC SUV to India.
The launch is planned for November 4, 2026.
Customers can begin booking the vehicle in the first week of October.
The SUV will be assembled in Pune rather than imported as a fully built vehicle.
India will get the regular-wheelbase GLC 400 4MATIC first.
Two electric motors will power all four wheels.
Mercedes says the SUV can travel up to 715 kilometers on one charge under WLTP testing.
Its price has not been announced yet.
Mercedes-Benz will launch the all-electric GLC in India on November 4, 2026, ahead of Diwali.
Bookings will open in the first week of October, with local assembly at the Chakan plant in Pune.
India will initially receive only the standard-wheelbase GLC 400 4MATIC, not the long-wheelbase version.
The SUV uses a 94 kWh NMC battery, dual-motor all-wheel drive, and offers up to 715 km of WLTP range.
Pricing has not been announced; expected rivals include the BMW iX3 and Audi Q6 e-tron.
