BMW electric cars’ turnover rose by 11.6% last year and reached 368,523 units. It was a terrible 2024 for Mercedes in relation to EV programs that decreased by 23% to 185,100 cars without an incinerated engine. But the three -point star is not yet ready to throw in the proverbial towel. Similar to BMW currently gives the complete touch of All New IX3, Mercedes cooks a worthy opponent.
The EQC successor renamed the EQ technology as a GLC and plays in the first official pictures. It is camouflaged because the debut will only take place later this year. Coincidentally, the new class IX3 will also break cover in 2025. The photo gallery shows the revised electrical luxury SUV, which is carried out in Arjeplog, Sweden, cold weather test.
Based on the upcoming IX3, his rival will also support an 800-volt architecture for ultra-fast shop. Mercedes promises a persistent installment of over 320 kW, but we hear that NEE class models could support even more charging power. The GLC with EQ technology will be in the rear wheel drive by default, with an engine being installed in the background.
More expensive versions with 4matic take on a front engine that can be triggered for greater efficiency if the additional performance and traction are not required. To improve efficiency, a heat pump is standard even on the basic model. Further remarkable developments are a two-way gearbox on the rear axle and silicon carbide inverter. The brake disc, the master cylinder and the ESP control are no longer separated because they were all integrated into a single module.
The new model is the first Mercedes based on the Mb.ea platform and has 483 hp for the dual engine version. The smaller one -motor taste delivers 268 hp to the rear axle. Feeding the engines is a 94.5 kWH battery for an estimated 404 miles. Regenerative brakes are included, as is a front case that can swallow 100 liters. The freight compartment on the back has a 560 liter volume.
The world premiere is set at the IAA mobility show in Munich for September, and sales will follow shortly afterwards.
