Mercedes-Benz GLC
A big grille tells you you're looking at the first, all-electric Merc GLC.
Just as its great rival BMW decides to go back to smaller, slimmer grilles, Mercedes is swinging for the fence with the new-look all-electric GLC, which gets a huge light-up grille that harks back to classic Mercs of the 1950s and 1960s. It’s a bit of a divisive look, as is the touchscreen that runs full-width across the dashboard, but the 701km range will be more universally appealing, as will the fast-charging ability to add 303km of range in just ten minutes. Single-motor, rear-drive versions should eventually stretch the range even further.
