NEW Mercedes GLC Electric review - Better than a BMW іХ3?
In this new Mercedes GLC review, we drive the fully electric version of Merc's bestselling SUV for the first time! Starting at around £60,000, the new GLC EV faces incredibly tough competition from the BMW iX3 – our 2026 Car of the Year – and the upcoming Volvo EX60.
To see if the new electric GLC can keep up, we’ve flown to Portugal to put it through a rigorous 150-mile real-world efficiency test. We experience its unusual Porsche Taycan-style two-speed gearbox, examine the enormous Hyperscreen infotainment system, and crunch the numbers to see how far the GLC can really go on a single charge.

In this video, we take a detailed look around the brand new Mercedes GLC Electric. We check out the impressive 520-litre boot and massive 128-litre "frunk" (which is more than double the size of the iX3's!). Plus we try out the clever Sky Control panoramic roof and deliver our initial verdict!
