Mercedes introduced cheaper GLC EVs with smaller batteries, but range still reaches 404 miles WLTP.
The GLC 300 4MATIC looks like the sweet spot, with AWD, 421 hp and 382 miles of range.
Mercedes and BMW are making the smaller-battery versions of luxury EVs look sensible rather than compromised.
Mercedes-Benz is expanding the GLC EV lineup with two new lower-powered variants. They both feature a smaller battery, but the range hit is less than you might think, and both still offer plenty of performance and features.
Until now, Mercedes had only revealed the GLC 400 4Matic, which features a 94-kilowatt-hour battery pack, 489 horsepower from its two motors, and an acceleration time from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) of 4.3 seconds. The WLTP range rating for this variant is up to 444 miles (715 km), which should translate into an EPA rating of around 380 miles.
