[June 5, 2026, Beijing] Recently, the all-new electric Mercedes-Benz GLC, the first locally produced model built on the all-new pure-electric MB.EA platform, rolled off the production line at BBAC. The launch of this model not only demonstrates BBAC’s steady progress in its electric transformation but also sets a new benchmark for electric SUVs in the electric era by deeply integrating Mercedes-Benz’s 140-year engineering philosophy with BBAC’s manufacturing expertise accumulated through the production of more than 6 million vehicles.

Designed specifically for Chinese families, space and intelligent cockpit tailored for you

To meet Chinese families’ higher expectations for space practicality, the all-new electric Mercedes-Benz GLC produced by BBAC has made two key changes.

The model features a significantly extended wheelbase of 3,027mm and striking a perfect balance between space utilization and a premium driving experience.

The vehicle has an extra-large front trunk with a capacity of 128 liters, providing customers with ample storage capacity.
At the same time, the digital cockpit has also undergone iteration. Inside the vehicle, the optional all-new floating MBUX HYPERSCREEN spans the center console, measuring 39.1 inches (99.3cm). Equipped with the multi-zone intelligent control panoramic sunroof adorned with the three-pointed star and the 64-color ambient lighting, it creates a futuristic digital cockpit. Technologically, the GLC is equipped with an intelligent system powered by the MB.OS architecture, which is deeply integrated with Doubao’s large AI models. Relying on proprietary algorithms, the system delivers a responsive and contextually precise smart interaction experience for Chinese consumers.

Mercedes-Benz Standard: Efficiency, Driving & Beauty

The all-new electric Mercedes-Benz GLC combines outstanding efficiency with exceptional driving refinement, powered by next-generation high-voltage electric technologies and advanced chassis systems. At the same time, it translates Mercedes-Benz’s iconic design heritage into a progressive digital aesthetic, creating a compelling blend of performance, comfort and style. With its well-rounded strengths across every aspect of the driving and ownership experience, the all-new electric Mercedes-Benz GLC establishes a new benchmark for luxury all-electric SUVs.

Efficient three electrical systems: The GLC is built on an 800V high-voltage architecture, with the dual-motor four-wheel drive version delivering a maximum output of 310kW.
Driving experience: The model also introduces rear-wheel active steering technology and air suspension derived from the S-Class sedan, recreating the iconic Mercedes-Benz driving experience through both hardware and software to achieve the harmonious balance between quietness and agile handling.

Design language: The all-new Mercedes-Benz electric GLC adopts a shield-shaped closed grille. Its 942 backlit units and glowing star logos together form a luminous and interactive visual center, presenting an elegant breathing effect when unlocked and charging, showcasing the century-old aesthetic heritage of Mercedes-Benz.

Exquisite Craftsmanship Sustains Timeless Luxury

The stability of a car throughout its entire lifecycle depends on the precision control during the manufacturing process, which is continuously optimized through digitalization. During the body forming and structural construction phases, BBAC employs mirror-level stretching molds to ensure the exceptionally smooth body contours from the source. The fully automated assembly system enables a first-pass assembly yield rate of nearly 100 %, fully ensuring the consistency of product quality.

This ultimate pursuit of precision also extends to aesthetic presentation and component assembly. To ensure that the eight custom paint colors, including dawn purple-silver, mist blue and jade gray, maintain exceptional consistency under any lightning conditions, BBAC employs a spectral-grade color difference detection system to enforce rigorous quality control. Additionally, the mirror-smooth body surface is coated with a nano-ceramic clear coat, giving the all-new GLC an artistic visual texture and long-lasting luster.   

Pre-delivery stress testing: comprehensive quality verification with no blind spots

Before the official production and delivery of the all-new Mercedes-Benz GLC, BBAC conducted rigorous extreme testing.

Before official delivery, the electric Mercedes-Benz GLC underwent extremely stringent water resistance testing. This test involved positioning the vehicle in 8 different orientations to stimulate complex real-world driving scenarios, subjecting it to water volumes equivalent to twice that of a heavy rainstorm, as well as high-pressure water jets at 10 times atmospheric pressure. This “stress test”, which exceeded industry standards, ensures that the vehicle maintains exceptional water resistance throughout its entire life cycle.

Since the birth of its first automobile 140 years ago in 1886, Mercedes-Benz has established an unparalleled engineering philosophy in the fields of automotive engineering and manufacturing. At the same time, BBAC has faithfully upheld this global standard through its experience in manufacturing 6 million vehicles and continuous innovation. From the spectral aesthetics of the paint finish to micron-level precision in craftsmanship and from intelligent equipment to end-to-end digital quality analysis, every investment in high-end manufacturing ultimately translated into the comfort and peace of mind delivered by the all-new electric Mercedes-Benz GLC with every mile driven. As we enter the Next Level Production, BBAC will continue to empower the three-pointed star with a new level of quality productivity, delivering a brand-new electric mobility experience to Chinese consumers that meets highest Mercedes-Benz standards.
