Mercedes-Benz has introduced extensive updates across its entire 2026 lineup, from all-new electric models to refined packages and advanced technology. Whether you're exploring luxury sedans, SUVs, or high-performance AMG variants, the 2026 model year brings fresh options for drivers in Ontario and beyond.

This year stands out with two major electric debuts. The all-new CLA Sedan with EQ Technology and the upcoming electric GLC represent Mercedes-Benz's new MMA (Mercedes Modular Architecture) platform. Both models feature the brand's fourth-generation MBUX infotainment system powered by MB.OS, bringing AI-driven intelligence, 800-volt charging, and impressive range to Canadian roads.

Two All-New Electric Models Lead the Way

CLA Sedan with EQ Technology

The 2026 CLA Sedan with EQ Technology arrives as the first model from an entirely new vehicle family. Built on the MMA architecture, it operates on the Mercedes-Benz Operating System (MB.OS), making it the most intelligent and efficient Mercedes-Benz to date.

Fourth-generation MBUX is the first in-car infotainment system to integrate artificial intelligence from both Microsoft and Google. The MBUX Virtual Assistant uses generative AI to transform how drivers interact with their vehicles. An optional MBUX Superscreen provides a panoramic glass cockpit display powered by high-performance chips and real-time graphics from the Unity Game Engine.

With 800-volt electric architecture, the CLA can add up to 300 kilometres of range in just 10 minutes of DC fast charging. The new-generation battery offers high energy density with a smaller carbon footprint. A two-speed transmission balances dynamic performance with efficiency. The CLA is also the first Mercedes-Benz to feature an air-to-air heat pump.

The all-new electric GLC will expand the lineup starting in the second half of 2026. Built on the same MMA platform as the CLA, it brings MB.OS and fourth-generation MBUX to Mercedes-Benz's global bestselling model.

The optional all-new seamless MBUX Hyperscreen measures 39.1 inches—the largest continuous screen in a Mercedes-Benz. High-resolution matrix backlight technology and up to 11 ambient display styles create an immersive digital experience. The SKY CONTROL panoramic roof includes optional switchable glass and ambient lighting that illuminates 162 stars.

With 800-volt architecture, the electric GLC can recharge up to 303 kilometres in 10 minutes at DC fast-charging stations. At market launch, the GLC 400 4MATIC will deliver 483 hp and up to 713 kilometres of range.

Space and versatility have been enhanced with a 3.3-inch longer wheelbase. The trunk offers 577 litres of space, expanding to 1,738 litres with rear seats folded. A front trunk adds 127 litres of storage. Towing capacity reaches 2,400 kg (5,291 lbs).
