New Mercedes GLC electric
The new fully electric Mercedes‑GLC is scheduled to appear in 2026 as a dedicated EV platform rather than an electrified version of the existing GLC. The initial GLC 400 4MATIC model uses two motors and a 94‑kWh battery, promising up to 406 miles of WLTP range. British order books opened in late‑2025 with deliveries due in mid‑2026. The recommended retail price ranges from £60 350 to £73 350 (about €70 000–86 000).
Technical highlights:
- Dual‑motor all‑wheel drive with 482–489 hp.
94‑kWh battery; WLTP range up to 406 miles; some reports mention 443 miles.
- Fast‑charging at 330 kW, taking 22 minutes from 10–80 %; AC charging at 11 kW (22 kW optional).
4.3 s 0–100 km/h and top speed 210 km/h.
- Interior features include the MBUX Hyperscreen (up to 39 inches), one‑box braking with high recuperation, air suspension with rear‑axle steering and Car‑to‑X connectivity, vegan materials and a spacious boot with 570 litres plus a 138‑litre frunk.
Range assessment:
The headline 406‑mile range is based on WLTP testing; real‑world figures are likely closer to 350–400 miles. Rivals like BMW’s iX3 boast similar or higher ranges, and price–range comparisons will be crucial.
Pricing:
Starting at around £60 350, the electric GLC sits firmly in the premium class. Commentators argue that the price reflects luxury features such as expansive screens and elaborate driver assistance while lacking more advanced self‑driving capabilities.
Public opinion:
Enthusiasts appreciate the generous range, powerful performance and luxurious interior. Critics question the value of huge screens and numerous assistance systems, criticise the bold front‑end design and note that full autonomous driving is missing.
Conclusion:
The new all‑electric GLC delivers impressive specifications and luxury, but its high price and real‑world efficiency remain to be proven. It will appeal to buyers seeking a spacious premium EV SUV, yet some observers call for more emphasis on efficiency and usability.
