Driving the 2027 MERCEDES GLC EQ

The driving review of the Mercedes GLC EQ reveals a high-end, sophisticated electric SUV experience.

Driving and Comfort: The GLC EQ provides an exceptionally smooth ride, enhanced by optional air suspension and rear-axle steering, which significantly aids maneuverability in tight city spaces. The cabin is noted for its silent, well-insulated interior, offering premium comfort.

Comparison with GLC ICE: While the combustion engine (ICE) GLC is already a benchmark in its class, the electric version delivers a more refined and calm driving experience. Despite the extra weight of the battery, its low center of gravity contributes to a more sophisticated feel.

Acceleration and Recuperation: The vehicle features an impressive two-speed transmission system, allowing for rapid 0-100 km/h acceleration in 4.3 seconds. The recuperation system is highly efficient, allowing for one-pedal driving in most scenarios without needing to touch the friction brakes.

Motorway Performance: At highway speeds, the car remains incredibly stable and quiet. The air suspension automatically lowers the vehicle to improve efficiency and confidence, making it a stellar long-distance cruiser.

Assistance Systems: The GLC EQ includes advanced semi-automated assistance systems, such as adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist. While very effective, the reviewer notes that the system is smooth, though they suggest competitors like the BMW iX3 offer slightly more autonomy in specific hands-free motorway scenarios.
