The Mercedes-Benz GLC has changed meaningfully over the last several model years, especially with the redesigned cabin introduced for 2023 and the upcoming electric-focused 2027 GLC with EQ Technology. This guide compares interior features, cargo space, display technology, comfort amenities, and year-specific updates so Hoffman Estates drivers can better understand what changed from 2022 through 2027.
The 2027 Mercedes-Benz GLC introduces a major new direction for the nameplate with the GLC with EQ Technology. This upcoming electric model brings a redesigned cabin, a new digital interface, and a more open interior layout compared to previous gas-powered GLC SUV models. One of the most important interior changes is the available 39.1-inch MBUX Hyperscreen, which stretches across the dashboard and creates a wide digital command center for vehicle settings, navigation, entertainment, and passenger-side display functions.
The 2027 GLC with EQ Technology is also expected to give drivers more usable storage flexibility. Mercedes-Benz has announced 20.1 cubic feet of rear cargo space, up to 61.4 cubic feet with the rear seats folded, and a 4.5-cubic-foot front trunk. That makes the 2027 model especially useful for drivers who want GLC size and luxury with more electric-era packaging advantages.
New GLC with EQ Technology joins the lineup with a fully redesigned electric-focused interior.

The 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLC SUV keeps the modern cabin layout introduced with the current generation. Inside, the GLC seats five passengers and uses a clean, vertical dashboard design anchored by a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and an 11.9-inch central touchscreen. The MBUX system supports touch controls, voice assistance, smartphone integration, and personalized display settings.
For everyday driving around Hoffman Estates, the 2026 GLC balances upscale materials with practical SUV space. Cargo volume measures 21.9 cubic feet behind the second row and 56.3 cubic feet with the rear seats folded. Available features such as leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, a panoramic roof, 64-color ambient lighting, and premium trim options help make the cabin feel more tailored.

The 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC delivers a refined interior with the same core cabin layout as the 2026 model year. A 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and 11.9-inch central touchscreen give the dashboard a technology-forward feel without removing the GLC from its luxury SUV roots. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, MBUX voice assistance, and available navigation features help simplify everyday routes around Chicagoland.
The 2025 GLC SUV also offers strong interior flexibility for a compact luxury SUV. Cargo space measures 21.9 cubic feet behind the rear seats and up to 56.3 cubic feet with the rear seats folded. Available leather upholstery, open-pore wood trim, ambient lighting, heated front seats, ventilated front seats, and a panoramic roof give buyers several ways to build a more premium cabin.
The 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLC continues the redesigned interior introduced one year earlier. The cabin uses a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and an 11.9-inch central touchscreen, giving the driver clear access to vehicle information, navigation, audio, phone controls, and MBUX settings. Compared with the previous-generation 2022 model, the 2024 GLC feels more digital, more vertical in its dashboard layout, and more aligned with newer Mercedes-Benz cabin design.
Practicality remains a strength for the 2024 GLC SUV. Seating is provided for five passengers, and cargo capacity measures 21.9 cubic feet behind the second row and up to 56.3 cubic feet with the rear seats folded. Available comfort features include heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, tri-zone automatic climate control, a panoramic roof, ambient lighting, and premium upholstery options.
The 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC marked a full interior redesign for the SUV. The cabin moved away from the previous horizontal dashboard layout and added a standard 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster with an 11.9-inch central touchscreen. This update made the 2023 GLC feel much closer to newer Mercedes-Benz models, especially in the way it handles navigation, media, vehicle settings, and driver information.
The 2023 model also improved cargo usefulness compared with the 2022 GLC SUV. Cargo volume increased to 21.9 cubic feet behind the rear seats and up to 56.3 cubic feet with the 40/20/40 split rear seatbacks folded. Standard and available interior features include MB-Tex upholstery, available leather, ambient lighting, heated front seats, a power liftgate, and premium trim selections.
The 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC represents the previous-generation interior before the SUV’s redesign. Instead of the later 11.9-inch vertical touchscreen, the 2022 GLC uses a 10.25-inch central touchscreen with the MBUX infotainment system. An available 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, available augmented video for navigation, voice control, and smartphone integration helped keep the cabin competitive for its time.
Interior space is slightly different from newer GLC SUV models. The 2022 GLC seats five passengers and offers 19.4 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row and up to 56.5 cubic feet with the rear seats folded. Standard MB-Tex upholstery, available leather, available wood trim, heated front seats, and ambient lighting give the 2022 model a traditional Mercedes-Benz luxury feel.
