offers than plenty of direct rivals. And it translates into two things of note: a claimed electric range of some 80 miles - and a kerb weight of almost 2.3 tonnes .
The new GLC 300e’s tax efficiency is the kind for which fleet buyers will expect to pay a premium but, in this case, it’s a big one. While prices for other GLC models start at little more than £50k, it takes £62k to get into the cheapest PHEV, and nearly £75k for a full-house GLC 300de diesel. The outgoing GLC 300e equivalent of our test car was nearly £15,000 cheaper: – a hike that it’ll take more than ‘Trussonomics’ to explain to some.
If you’re a private buyer, £70,000 will get you into markedly more expensive-feeling SUVs than this, needless to say. The GLC’s interior has adult-appropriate accommodation in both rows of seats, and a boot that’s pretty big and almost entirely unpenalised by any battery pack intrusion . Up front, the instrumentation layout and design theme will be instantly recognisable to C-Class owners. With its totem-like central MBUX infotainment system, crisp digital instruments, large head-up display and multi-coloured ambient lighting, our test car was yet more evidence of Mercedes recasting itself as a modern tech company whose wares just happen to come in large boxes with wheels on them.
The GLC’s interior ambience could be the perfect match for the look of the high-end consumer electronics in your lounge or kitchen, but it was a little monotone and clinical for this tester’s tastes. Material quality has that ritzy top-level impact on the eye, although there are places where it doesn’t appeal so much to the touch, as is becoming a Mercedes theme.
