Mercedes GLC Electric Launches in India at 78.50 Lakh — and Sells Out Until March 2027

The Indian luxury electric vehicle market has another important entrant. Mercedes-Benz launched the GLC 400 4MATIC electric in India on November 4, 2026, priced at 78.50 lakh rupees ex-showroom. The vehicle is locally assembled at the company Chakan facility near Pune rather than being sold as a fully imported model, a sign of how seriously Mercedes is taking the Indian premium EV segment.

The GLC 400 4MATIC electric is equipped with a 94 kWh battery and a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system producing a combined 490 horsepower and 800 Nm of torque. The global specification has a manufacturer-quoted WLTP range of up to 715 km, and Indian launch reports have also cited a figure of approximately 711 km. The SUV supports DC fast charging up to 330 kW. Inside it gets a 39.1-inch Hyperscreen with three displays, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a panoramic glass roof that can switch its transparency, over-the-air updates and a Burmester 4D sound system with seat exciters.

According to launch coverage by Autocar India and CarWale, Mercedes-Benz had received more than 1,000 bookings before the launch and reported that the initial allocation was sold out until March 2027. These are manufacturer-reported booking and allocation figures, rather than independently audited retail sales. The actual customer cost will depend on applicable taxes, insurance, registration, optional equipment and dealer-level charges.
