It's rare to find something that does multiple things well, but the 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLC is one such vehicle. SUV proportions, turbocharged power, and Mercedes-Benz luxury blend together to create an SUV that is easy to love. And at Mercedes-Benz of Denver, you can find out with a test drive today.
The 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLC gets a more aggressive look with wider fender flares and a more prominent front grille design. The headlights sweep back into those bulbous curves, while the lower grille is pulled from the brand's race cars to complete the more athletic impression.
Inside, the 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLC feels as special as a Mercedes-Benz should. The pinstriped wood grain dash accents are wonderous blend of old and new, while ambient interior lighting and the large central display are firmly set in the future. The 18-way power-adjustable seats are a worthwhile upgrade, giving you supreme comfort. Even better, a memory function means you can save your ideal seating position once you've dialed it in, and two slots means you and another driver can each have your own settings readily available. Plus, plush leather upholstery and heated and ventilated seats offer all the luxury you expect.
A 2.0-liter turbocharged engine powers the 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLC with 255 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. That's enough to take the luxury SUV from zero to 60 mph in 5.7 seconds, while 4MATIC® reliably delivers power to the ground, no matter the conditions. Meanwhile, a new GLC 350e offers plug-in hybrid capability with up to 313 combined horsepower and an impressive 81 miles of EV-only range. Each model comes with a nine-speed automatic transmission with manual mode and paddle shifters, so you can let the car do the work or take control yourself. Plus, selectable drive modes let you choose between outright performance, overall efficiency, or a blend of the two based on your driving style.
There's plenty of tech packed into the new Mercedes-Benz GLC - the massive central tablet display is proof enough of that. But with features like the intuitive voice-activated interface and the Mercedes-Benz remote app, you'll have more ways to access and control your vehicle both on the road and while you're away. Start the engine, adjust climate settings, and lock or unlock the doors all from your smartphone. It's more than just a party trick. It's a great way to make sure your Mercedes-Benz GLC is a warm refuge after a day of skiing. Plus, the upgraded infotainment system offers integrated music streaming and separate driver profiles, so you can all have the exact setup you want when behind the wheel.
Safety tech in the updated Mercedes-Benz GLC includes a refined pedestrian and collision avoidance system along with lane keep assist and automatic emergency braking. Meanwhile, adaptive cruise control with active lane centering helps ensure your safety while on the highways around Denver. You'll also get blind spot monitoring with rear cross traffic alert that help manage the blind spots your mirrors can't see, whether you're on I-25 or backing out of a parking space at Mile High Stadium. Plus, 360-degree camera views give you a visual of nearby obstacles at a glance.
