The all-new Mercedes GLC electric is now available for order in France with a striking offer.
Priced at 71,900 euros, aligned with the thermal model, Mercedes demonstrates its willingness to accelerate the transition to electric without imposing additional costs on its customers. If the star-brand can now offer its new electric GLC at the same price as the thermal version, it is primarily thanks to the premium positioning of the model. A strategy made possible by higher margins in this high-end segment, but which should eventually become the new standard across the automotive market.
The first GLC designed from the outset for 100% electric propulsion, the SUV combines up to 714 km of range with rapid charging that can recover 303 km in ten minutes, thanks to 800-volt technology. The launched model, called GLC 400 4MATIC, delivers 360 kW (489 hp) and has an average consumption of between 14.9 and 18.9 kWh/100 km depending on the WLTP cycle.
In terms of design, the new arrival retains the familiar GLC cues while introducing a redesigned chrome illuminated grille, which is set to become a visual signature for Mercedes-Benz electric SUVs. The interior focuses on comfort and technology, featuring an optional MBUX Hyperscreen and vegan-certified interior materials, a first for the brand.
