The 2027 Mercedes-Benz GLC 400 4MATIC Electric starts at $63,500 in the US, or $64,950 after its $1,450 destination and delivery charge. Mercedes lists an EPA range of 350 miles, falling to 331 miles with all-season tires. Those two details matter more to a shopping comparison than the big optional dashboard screen.
The price appears on Mercedes-Benz USA’s build page. The destination charge, tire-specific range and equipment breakdown come from its US quick reference guide.
What the base price actually buys
This is the GLC 400 4MATIC Electric, with two motors and all-wheel drive. Mercedes rates it at 483 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque, with an estimated 4.2-second run to 60 mph. Its battery holds 94 kWh of usable energy.
Standard equipment includes 20-inch wheels, heated power front seats, a fixed panoramic glass roof and separate driver and central displays. The panoramic roof is not the same thing as the optional SKY CONTROL glass, and the standard dashboard is not the optional seamless 39.1-inch Hyperscreen.
Air suspension and rear-axle steering are also optional. Those features can change how a vehicle rides and fits into a parking space, so a test drive in a heavily optioned demonstrator does not necessarily tell you how the $63,500 version feels.
Ask for the actual build sheet and an out-the-door quote. The $64,950 figure includes destination but not options, taxes, registration or dealer charges. It is a starting point, not a promised transaction price.
The 19-mile difference belongs in the comparison
Mercedes’ guide labels 350 miles as EPA electric range and separately lists 331 miles with all-season tires. That is a 19-mile difference, about 5.4 percent of the higher figure. It is not a forecast of winter range loss. Both are laboratory-based range ratings reported by the manufacturer, not our road-test results.
If the car you would actually buy has all-seasons, use 331 miles when comparing it with another SUV. Do not price one configuration and borrow the best range number from a different one. Temperature, speed and load still affect what happens on a trip.
The same discipline applies to charging. Mercedes specifies up to 330 kW DC charging and a 22-minute 10-to-80-percent session under its stated conditions. That is not 330 kW for the whole session, and it is not a zero-to-full charging time. Charger capability and battery temperature matter. Our 800-volt charging explainer covers why a high-voltage vehicle cannot turn every station into a fast one.
Where it sits in Mercedes’ own lineup
Mercedes’ October 22 US model-year update lists the gas GLC 300 4MATIC at $54,400 before destination. The electric GLC’s base MSRP is $9,100 higher. That is an upfront price gap, not a total-cost calculation: equipment, charging costs, gasoline prices, insurance and financing would need their own comparison.
The same update lists the EQE 320+ SUV at $64,950 and the EQE 320 4MATIC SUV at $67,450, both before destination. The GLC Electric therefore starts $1,450 below the rear-drive EQE and $3,950 below the all-wheel-drive EQE on base MSRP. Dealer discounts could change that order, and these are different vehicles rather than equivalent trim packages.
Can you take delivery yet?
Mercedes’ October update says the GLC 400 Electric arrives at US dealerships in fall 2026. That is the manufacturer’s arrival window, not confirmation that a particular dealer has a customer-ready vehicle today. A live build page does not establish local inventory or a delivery date.
Before leaving a deposit, get the model, tire specification, equipment, final price and expected delivery date in writing. For a buyer who wants an all-wheel-drive Mercedes EV near $65,000 before taxes, this is a real vehicle to compare. The useful comparison is the one on the order sheet, not the most impressive combination of numbers from different versions.
