The Electric Mercedes GLC Drives Better Than the Gas Version. We Did Not Expect to Type That.

Autogefühl's Thomas puts the all-new electric GLC (badged GLC 400 4MATIC, not EQ) through a full driving review covering exterior trims, the surprisingly large frunk, interior quality, and a real-world motorway range test against the BMW iX3. The short version: 4.3 seconds to 100 km/h from a two-speed gearbox that stays in first gear all the way up, air suspension with rear-axle steering that makes tight European parking almost embarrassing, and about 400 km of real-world motorway range from a 94.5 kWh battery. The iX3 beats it on battery size, range, seat comfort, and price. The GLC beats it on suspension, acceleration, and chassis refinement. Thomas calls both the best electric SUVs Germany has produced in a long time, which makes choosing between them genuinely difficult.
