Mercedes Benz GLC Electric In The Flesh Walkaround

At least 5 variants of the new all-electric #GLC are being planned. The first variant to be offered for sale is the GLC 400 4MATIC, which will come with an all-wheel drive dual-motor set up, a 2-speed gearbox at the rear. This model has a total system output of around 483 horsepower and a top speed of 210km/h.

It has a WLTP range of 713km, thanks to a 94kWh lithium-ion battery with silicon oxide and graphite in the anode for reduced cobalt content. This battery has a screwed-on cover and a modular design, meaning better serviceability. The high-voltage system has an automatic shutdown, early warning systems and thermal event protection designed into it for safety.
