In early July 2026, Mercedes‑Benz released production specifications for the 2027 VLE, an all‑electric premium people‑mover. The VLE 300 features a 203 kW front motor and 115 kWh battery, while the VLE 400 4MATIC adds a rear motor for a combined 310 kW. Both offer WLTP ranges above 700 km and support 300 kW DC charging on an 800‑volt architecture. The lineup was later expanded with AMG Line and AMG Line Plus trims, a Premium‑Plus package, and an eight‑seat VLE 300 configuration. On 5 August 2026, the company announced a mid‑cycle refresh for the 2027 EQS luxury sedan, which will introduce an 800‑volt architecture with up to 430 kW DC fast‑charging and a 122 kWh battery. The EQS will also be the first Mercedes‑Benz passenger car to feature a steer‑by‑wire system. Additionally, the 2026 GLC EQ midsize electric SUV was introduced to replace the EQC. In the Irish market, Mercedes‑Benz launched the GLB, available in electric and petrol‑hybrid versions, alongside the all‑electric GLC SUV. By late August 2026, the company further expanded its offerings. The VLE minivan lineup grew to include AMG Line and AMG Line Plus trims, and the VLE 300 was made available in an eight-seater configuration. Global expansions included the 2026 Mercedes-AMG E 53 Hybrid Wagon and the GLC electric SUV, with high-end Premier Edition models featuring a 39.1-inch Hyperscreen. Following new model introductions in Australia and Malaysia in early September, the VLE lineup expanded further on 8 September 2026 with the VLE 400 4MATIC in Germany. Positioned as an electric ‘Grand Limousine’, this all-wheel-drive variant produces 310 kW, features a 115 kWh NMC battery with a WLTP range of up to 654 km, and offers a towing capacity of 2.5 tons.
