The latest Mercedes-Benz cars being tested by the CompleteCar.ie team.
Dave has been driving the new-generation Mercedes-Benz GLB, in ‘200’ fully electric guise. While there is a seven-seat layout available, this is only the five-seat model and considering its €60,965 price tag, it doesn’t feel especially premium inside or to drive, though it is at least reasonably efficient.
Aptly enough, given it's World EV Day today (Sep 9), Shane has the new electric Mercedes GLC on test. It's the top-spec 400 4Matic model, though it doesn't have the air suspension we tested at the international launch of the car and, having driven it on a variety of surfaces, we'd strongly urge buyers to tick the option box for the upgrade, as the standard suspension isn't anything special. This car has a big battery (94kWh of usable energy) so a decent range should be of no surprise, though it's not as efficient here as it was at the launch for some reason.
