Mercedes-Benz will assemble its GLC Electric SUV in India, offering a WLTP‑certified 711 km range and a ten‑minute fast‑charge capability.
Mercedes-Benz announced that its upcoming GLC Electric SUV will be assembled in India, marking a step toward local production of premium EVs.
The vehicle is built on a 400‑volt architecture and, according to the manufacturer, offers a WLTP‑certified driving range of approximately 711 kilometres on a single charge.
Mercedes also claims the battery can be replenished from 0 to 80 percent in about ten minutes, a speed that could address range‑anxiety concerns among Indian buyers.
The launch aligns with the automaker’s broader strategy to expand its electric portfolio in the Indian market, where government incentives are encouraging higher EV adoption.
Details on pricing, launch date and the specific Indian plant have not been disclosed yet, but the company indicated that the model will be available through its existing dealer network.
