The 2027 Mercedes-Benz GLC 400 4MATIC® Electric SUV features
fourth-generation MBUX Infotainment powered by MB.OS, with a standard
14-inch central multimedia display. The system supports facial
recognition and over-the-air software updates, while an optional
39.1-inch MBUX Hyperscreen is available. This page covers every screen,
every feature tier, and how to
check 2027 GLC Electric availability
at Mercedes-Benz of Tuscaloosa.
MBUX Feature Overview
The 2027 GLC Electric comes standard with a 10.25-inch Driver Display, a
14-inch Central Multimedia Display, and a 14-inch Digital Trim Panel.
The driver and central displays provide the standard digital interfaces,
while the Digital Trim Panel occupies the passenger-side dashboard area.
The fourth-generation MBUX Infotainment system runs on MB.OS, the
Mercedes-Benz proprietary operating system built specifically for the
brand's current and future vehicle lineup.
MB.OS supports software updates after delivery. Over-the-air updates can
deliver system improvements and additional supported features without
requiring a dealership visit. That architecture also enables the Digital
Extra model, where features such as MBUX Navigation with Electric
Intelligence, Wireless Apple CarPlay®, Wireless Android Auto®, MB.CHARGE
Public, and the Digital Vehicle Key for Smartphone are delivered as
connected services rather than conventional hardware options.
MBUX Profile Authentication via Facial Recognition can recognize a
registered driver and load saved preferences for seating, climate,
ambient lighting, and display layout. Once the driver is recognized,
those settings can be applied automatically.

How the MBUX System Works
The fourth-generation MBUX system uses a zero-layer interface that
brings relevant functions to the main screen, reducing the need to
navigate through multiple menus. The displayed functions can adapt
to driving context and user preferences.
The 14-inch Central Multimedia Display handles navigation, media,
climate, and vehicle settings through a touch interface. The 14-inch
Digital Trim Panel occupies the passenger-side dashboard area and
can display customizable imagery. An interactive Front Passenger
Display is available with the MBUX Superscreen configuration.
MBUX Navigation with Electric Intelligence helps drivers plan routes
around the charging needs of an electric vehicle. The system factors
current state of charge, real-time traffic, ambient temperature
(which affects battery efficiency), and the locations of DC fast
charging stations into every route calculation. When a charging stop
is necessary, the system pre-conditions the 94 kWh NMC battery to
its optimal temperature before arrival, reducing charge time. That
pre-conditioning is automatic and does not require driver input.
Mercedes-Benz MB.OS platform overview
DC fast charging on the 2027 GLC Electric uses an 800V architecture with
a NACS connector, supporting up to 330 kW. At a compatible 800V DC
fast-charging station, the battery can charge from 10 percent to 80
percent in approximately 22 minutes. Actual charging times vary by
location, equipment, battery conditions, and other operating factors.
DC fast charging speed source
For standard AC charging at home, the system supports 9.6 kW via a J1772
connector, with a full charge in approximately 12.5 hours.
The optional MBUX Augmented Reality Head-Up Display projects navigation
overlays and driver assistance cues onto the windshield, so turn-by-turn
directions appear anchored to the actual road rather than displayed on a
separate screen.
MBUX Features by Trim and Package
Standard GLC 400 4MATIC Electric SUV
The standard GLC 400 4MATIC Electric SUV receives the 10.25-inch
Driver Display, 14-inch Central Multimedia Display, 14-inch
Digital Trim Panel, fourth-gen MBUX, facial recognition, and the
KEYLESS GO® system with flush-fitting door handles and HANDS-FREE
ACCESS as standard equipment.
Exclusive Trim
The Exclusive Trim package adds the MBUX Superscreen with a
14-inch Front Passenger Display, 64-color LED ambient lighting,
illuminated door sills, SKY CONTROL for the panoramic roof, and
the illuminated Iconic Grille panel. The Front Passenger Display
gives passengers access to supported navigation and entertainment
functions without reaching across to the central display.
Pinnacle Plus Trim
The Pinnacle Plus Trim unlocks the optional MBUX Hyperscreen. This
is a seamless 39.1-inch curved glass surface that stretches from
the driver instrument cluster across the full width of the
dashboard to the passenger side. It is a single pane of glass over
three separate screens, creating a continuous display that
eliminates the visual breaks present in a traditional three-unit
layout. The 39.1-inch MBUX Hyperscreen is the largest continuous
display offered in a Mercedes-Benz vehicle to date.
The optional MBUX Augmented Reality Head-Up Display is available
separately and complements the Hyperscreen configuration or the standard
three-screen layout.

Real-World Benefit for the Owner
Facial recognition makes it easier to access saved profiles when
multiple drivers share the vehicle. When the system recognizes a
registered driver, it can load saved preferences for seat position,
mirror angles, climate settings, ambient color, and display layout.
The MBUX Navigation with Electric Intelligence is particularly
relevant for Alabama drivers who may not have high-density fast
charging infrastructure on every route. The system helps determine
when charging stops are necessary, accounts for the vehicle's
EPA-estimated 331-mile range with all-season tires, and can prepare
the battery for DC fast charging before arrival. Battery
preconditioning helps support charging performance, while actual
charging speeds depend on battery conditions and compatible charging
equipment.
Over-the-air software updates can deliver supported MBUX features
and interface improvements after delivery. Eligible Digital Extras
may also be activated through connected services, depending on the
feature and vehicle configuration.
When the GLC Electric is plugged in, Pre-Entry Climate Control can
prepare the cabin before departure and help reduce initial cooling
demand while driving. This is especially useful during Alabama's
warmer months.
MBUX Technology Highlights
The fourth-generation MBUX system combines facial recognition for
profile loading, two standard interactive displays with a digital trim
panel, over-the-air software update capability, and navigation designed
around electric vehicle charging needs.
The available MBUX Superscreen adds a 14-inch Front Passenger Display,
while the optional 39.1-inch MBUX Hyperscreen brings the driver,
central, and passenger displays together beneath a seamless glass
surface.
