Hyperscreen and fourth-generation MBUX on the all-electric GLC
The separate 2027 Mercedes-Benz GLC 400 4MATIC Electric uses fourth-generation MBUX powered by MB.OS, with a 10.25-inch driver display and a 14-inch central display. An available MBUX Superscreen adds a 14-inch passenger display, and a 39.1-inch MBUX Hyperscreen is also available on that model (Mercedes-Benz USA). Gas and plug-in hybrid GLC models use the 11.9-inch and 12.3-inch layout described above.
Voice Control, Routines and Over-the-Air Updates
Say “Hey Mercedes” to control vehicle functions with natural speech, and use MBUX Routines to automate everyday functions based on location, conditions or other parameters (Mercedes-Benz USA).
Over-the-air updates arrive through the vehicle’s cellular connection, so software can stay current without a service appointment.
