2025 Mercedes GLC EV Design

The visual appeal of the GLC EV SUV is largely defined by the signature massive grille of Mercedes, featuring 942 backlit dots that brilliantly spotlight the illuminated three-pointed star positioned in the middle. The headlights are designed with star-shaped running lights, followed by tiny star-shaped LEDs integrated with the taillight. 

There is also an inclusion of a subtle roof spoiler which helps in improving the overall aerodynamic efficiency of the electric SUV and also balances the sloping roofline. According to Mercedes, the electric GLC has a drag coefficient of 0.26. Mercedes has also included a standard 20-inch wheel size and users also have an option of 21-inch alloy wheels. However the tail-lights have a striking resemblance to the electric CLA. 

2025 Mercedes GLA EV Features & Interior

The interiors are quite futuristic and include modern design elements with advanced technological features which comprises a large 39.1-inch MBUX Hyperscreen, which is one of the biggest displays Mercedes have ever featured in a car. The screen runs across the whole dashboard, thus blending the driver’s display, touchscreen, and passenger screen in a single screen unit.

The infotainment system is upgraded with a newer version of MBUX and displays cleaner menus with an addition of a built-in AI assistant. However with this new SUV, the old physical buttons and knobs are back which are placed on the steering wheel and center console. 

Mercedes has analysed the user’s requirements and integrated physical buttons, thus removing the touch-sensitive controls which just hampers the concentration of drivers, every time they have to change the settings of the car.
