GLC Electric in 2026 — what's new
The X540 Mercedes-Benz GLC Electric launches in 2026 as a new generation. The Malaysian range has two all-wheel-drive GLC300 4Matic variants, both with an 85 kWh battery, 415 hp, a two-speed automatic transmission and five seats. The Avantgarde has a claimed 597 km range, while the AMG Line Plus is rated at 584 km.
Which variant to buy
Most buyers should pick the GLC300 4Matic Avantgarde at RM389,000. It has the same 85 kWh battery, 415 hp, all-wheel drive, two-speed automatic transmission and five-seat layout as the GLC300 4Matic AMG Line Plus, yet carries the longer 597 km claimed range. The AMG Line Plus costs RM399,000 and has a 584 km claimed range. On paper, the RM10,000 gap is for trim rather than extra performance; pay it only if its trim-specific equipment matters to you after checking the specification list.
Verdict
The GLC Electric arrives with a clear technical brief: 415 hp, all-wheel drive, an 85 kWh battery and five seats in both versions. The two-speed automatic transmission also sets it apart from the single-speed layout commonly associated with electric SUVs. The Avantgarde is the neater choice on paper, pairing the lower price with the longer 597 km claimed range. Buyers drawn to the AMG Line Plus should establish exactly which trim items justify its higher cost.
