New Mercedes-Benz GLC EV Interior Shown, Debuts Soon

Mercedes-Benz last teased the new third-gen GLC EV SUV's large and bold new lit-up front grille. Now, it has given a glimpse of its cabin too.

As this year’s edition of the IAA Mobility show looms closer, the debut of several new metal are expected. Amongst which is of course the new third-gen Mercedes-Benz GLC crossover that’s expected to debut in all-electric (EV) form.

Having teased its large and bold new lit-up front grille prior, the three-point star marque have now released a series of images showing the upcoming new EV SUV’s innards. From which, there’s plenty to soak up from what’s also poised to succeed the EQC.

The new one-piece MBUX Hyperscreen measures 39.1-inches ahd spans the the dash's entire length, boasting 'intelligent zone dimming'.

Dominating the interior design is a revamped one-piece MBUX Hyperscreen. Measuring 39.1-inches (or 993 MM), it spans the entire length of the new GLC’s dash, promising “exceptional clarity” thanks to matrix backlight tech formed using over 1,000 LEDs.

Said screen also offers ‘intelligent zone dimming’ that lets two display areas be set to different levels of brightness using sliders. Mercedes claims it has filed a patent for that tech too.

Did we mention that this is now the largest digital display screen yet primed by the German luxury automaker in any of its creation?  Take note, this new MBUX Hyperscreen detailed will be optional, so expect smaller screens as standard kit in lower-level models.

Much of the cabin design seen here will trickle down into other new models from the three-point star marque.

Certainly, said screen is an undeniable focal point on board, and this reflects the trend of luxury brands equating big screens with premium appeal – something that not everyone (us included) agrees with.

Next, Mercedes also elected to showcase the latest form of its ‘sensual purity’ design ethos – something all its future models will also don. Here, the design brings a centre console merged into the dash to house both wireless charging trays ands cupholders.

Notably, there’s a liberal use of customisable LED lighting which, besides adding to functionality, also boasts the ability to briefly change hues briefly – a feature set for the illuminated air vents.

Not everything has gone digital thankfully. You'll still find buttons and swtiches plus metal air vents and speaker grilles, as well as copious amounts of leather upholstery with nice stitching.

Thankfully, Not everything has gone digital as a handful of buttons are still present on the centre console, steering wheel, and door cards.  Otherwise, the rest of the GLC's cabin appears suitably upscale thanks to metal air vents and speaker grilles, as well as plenty of leather and nice stitching.

That aisde, little else was detailed, but we need not wait long as the new Mercedes-Benz GLC EV detailed will be revealed fully on Sept 7. We’ll have more then, but in the meantime, are you digging Merc’ new interior design direction?
