Recently, the car quality network learned from relevant channels that Mercedes-Benz officially released the latest spy photos of the pure electric version of the GLC. The new car will be the first to launch the GLC 400 4MATIC with EQ technology version, which is scheduled to be officially unveiled at the Munich Motor Show in September this year, and is built with Mercedes-Benz’s new 800V electrical architecture, with a maximum range expected to exceed 650km.
The appearance of the new car is still in the stage of heavy camouflage, but according to Mercedes-Benz CEO Kang Linsong, its front face design will draw inspiration from the classic model 300 SEL 6.3, integrating retro and technological elements. It is said that the new car’s grille will become a major visual highlight, a modern interpretation of Mercedes-Benz’s iconic grille style in the 60s of the last century.
In terms of body structure, the pure electric version of the GLC will be developed using the MB.EA platform, and the wheelbase will be about 80mm longer than that of the fuel version of the GLC (2890mm), resulting in more spacious rear seating space and greater storage capacity. It is reported that the trunk volume reaches 570L, and the maximum expansion can be up to 1740L, and the new car will also provide 128L of front trunk space to further enhance practicality.
In terms of power, the pure electric GLC will be equipped with an eATS 2.0 electric drive unit, including a radial motor and a two-speed transmission system. The standard version will be available in two configurations: single-motor rear-wheel drive (maximum horsepower 272hp) and dual-motor four-wheel drive (maximum horsepower 489hp), and an AMG high-performance version will be launched in the future, with a maximum horsepower of 608hp and 0-100km/h acceleration or entering the 4S range. Officials say that its acceleration experience will be close to that of the AMG GT, and the sporty performance is exciting.
In addition, the new car also supports up to 320kW DC fast charging, which can replenish energy and 260km of battery life in 10 minutes. Its maximum towing mass reaches 2400kg, surpassing the electric Porsche Macan. The chassis will provide an optional air suspension system that supports active steering of up to 4.5 degrees at the rear, providing a dual guarantee for comfort and handling.
It is reported that the car will be produced in Bremen, Germany, Beijing, China and possibly the Tuscaloosa plant in the United States, and the global market will be deployed simultaneously. For more information about the new car, the car quality network will continue to pay attention to and report.
