Mercedes-Benz GLC Electric Arrives in India Tomorrow: Here Is What to Expect

The wait is almost over. Mercedes-Benz will reveal the price of its new GLC electric SUV in India tomorrow. The company has already opened pre-bookings, so buyers can reserve the car right now. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the price. Experts expect it to land between Rs. 80 lakh and Rs. 85 lakh (ex-showroom). As a result, the SUV will take on the upcoming BMW iX3.

A Record-Breaking Arrival

Mercedes will build this SUV in India. In addition, it is the fastest global model to reach the country, coming in less than six months after its world debut.

Power and Range to Look Forward To

Buyers will get just one version, the 400 4Matic. It packs a 94kWh battery and two electric motors that give all-wheel drive. Together, they make 490bhp and 800Nm of torque. Moreover, the SUV can run up to 715km on one charge, as per the WLTP test. However, real-world range may be a little lower.

Design and Features Fans Are Waiting For

Sharp Looks Outside

The front gets LED daytime lights in the shape of the three-pointed star, along with a lit grille. Besides, you will see multi-spoke alloy wheels, an integrated spoiler, and flush door handles. At the back, two-piece LED tail lamps wrap around the body.

Premium Feel Inside

Inside, the cabin has a three-spoke steering wheel and a huge 39.1-inch MBUX Hyperscreen. Furthermore, the SUV offers Level 2+ ADAS, a transparent bonnet view, a panoramic sunroof, and rear axle steering. Finally, a 4D Burmester sound system adds to the luxury.

CarJunction Insights

The new GLC electric looks like a strong move by Mercedes-Benz for Indian buyers. Local assembly should help keep the price in check, which matters a lot in the luxury EV space. In addition, the 715km claimed range may ease range worries for long drives. However, the final price will decide how well it fares against the BMW iX3. Overall, if Mercedes prices it smartly, this SUV could become a top pick among luxury electric cars in India.
