Mercedes-Benz is charging into IAA Mobility 2025 with the global debut of its all-new electric GLC: a next-generation SUV set to lead the brand’s biggest product rollout yet. 

The sleek new model, packed with EQ technology, will headline the marque’s “Open Space” showcase in Munich from September 9 to 14.

Poised to carry forward the legacy of Mercedes’ top-selling SUV, the electric GLC aims to blend the familiar with the future. Mercedes-Benz describes it as “purposeful, refined and unmistakably a GLC”, but now fully electric and part of a broader design evolution. It’s the first of a new series set to define the next chapter for the three-pointed star.

Also scheduled for IAA premieres: the all-new CLA lineup, including an all-electric CLA Shooting Brake and a camouflaged preview of the VLE, a "Grand Limousine" electric people mover aimed at 2026 production. 

Performance fans won’t be left out either, with the Concept AMG GT XX offering a first look at what’s coming from the high-powered AMG.EA platform.

For those keen on seeing autonomy in action, demo co-drives will highlight automated driving capabilities in a specially prepared CLA, while the EQS and S-Class will be available to test Drive Pilot, which supports hands-free driving up to 95km/h.

From compact EVs to chauffeur-ready limos, Mercedes-Benz promises a full spectrum of electrified vehicles available for passenger rides during the show.
