On sale in the UK · GLC 250 from £55,495 · GLC 400 4MATIC from £60,350
Mercedes GLC Electric (2026)
- UK testers agree it's the most comfortable car in its class: quiet, refined, roomy, with a 128-litre frunk and 2.4-tonne towing.
- Real-world range for the GLC 400 runs about 300–350 miles in UK driving (Auto Express group test: 338 miles), against up to 406 miles WLTP.
- In three twin tests (Carwow, Electrifying, Auto Express) the BMW iX3 won: longer range, faster charging, sharper handling. The testers' pick is the GLC 400 Sport; no UK outlet has reviewed the GLC 250 yet.
