Today we will talk about a very special car. and that is the all-new Mercedes-Benz GLC 400 4MATIC or, as it is popularly known, the new GLC Electric It may look like GLC to you. but in my personal opinion, this could easily be mistaken for a spaceship and in the next few minutes I will be talking about why So I suggest that you keep watching this video to find out all the exciting details About the new electric GLC First, let's talk about the type of design language that Mercedes-Benz has given the electric SUV. Well, as you can already see, there's a large grill area here. You're seeing it, but this is no ordinary grill. In fact, this is the highlight of the entire design. because it includes backlit elements and also features animations. People here also have back-lighting. and this is also an homage to the legendary Greetings, people W100 600 Pullman and even the W111 era of Mercedes-Benz cars Where there used to be a large central grill with a surrounding chrome line as you can see in the GLC Electric as well. Looks really Nice, they've done it really nicely. A breathing animation runs continuously within it. and that animation also changes when you plug the car in to charge Coming to the LED headlights, of course, being Mercedes-Benz, They are of top-notch quality and top-notch technology as well. Micro LEDs are available, and it also comes with adaptive high beam assist. And you're seeing it right here along with me that the Mercedes star has been integrated really nicely as the daytime running light for this headlamp design. Still looks like a GLC, but extremely futuristic. These blue accents also look really nice And below you will see the India spec the car that we are finally getting to look at comes with the AMG body kit Yes, here you will see the AMG body kit as standard. in the GLC Electric Moving on toward the side You will notice that once again you get the 20-inch AMG alloy wheels. Now these also come with these aero inserts. that make this SUV more aerodynamic And if it is electric, it is more aerodynamically streamlined. And this when you give the side profile of the electric If you provide the side profile of the electric So, provide the side profile of the electric one. But the GLC Electric is slightly longer and wider than the Ice version that we use to sing on Indian roads already spoken about the wheels, but here you have running boards will also be visible, and you will also get to see Welcome with Mercedes logo LED lamps You when you want and when you know the trigger The pop-up handles from your end open the Door dear, this all so carpet lighting in the jeep Electric moving onward you will see And these are Signature Merceji's Tail Lamp Design You go that this is a signature AECU design language What we see in Cars, if we look And that same animatronic is here with you, a connected tail language It can be seen in the layout with the Mercedes logo proudly positioned in the center now of course being a GLC It covers all the basics that you will need. You know, in your life with this car including your rear wiper and rear defogger system but if I just, you know open up the electrically assisted boot gate then it reveals 540 liters of boot space Naoh Wat is a respectful amount of space and The editor, your car has become slightly bigger. Overall dimensions and edital swell up your lets Don't forget this is an all-electric car and EV They are electrically foldable, And now I increase our boot space to 1,740 liters. But Mercedes-Benz is not keeping up with the pace. Since this is an electric vehicle, Here, you will also find a front storage area. Let me just, you know, trigger it And this is a front more than 128 liters It talks about Story Space Now, if I were to wager, this is good enough. for a small cabin-sized luggage bag and a little bit of other small items as well There will be plenty of work coming your way in your day-to-day life. and it is certainly a good thing to have Of course, hydraulic struts are there holding the hood up. and then I just need to close it back down And with him, I have brought you here. to my favorite part of the all-new GLC Electric, which has to be the cabin and the type of interior and the technology Mercedes-Benz has integrated into this electric SUV. Well, for starters, just take a look at this. Here is a 39.1-inch connected screen. It is not a dual screen setup, it is not a triple screen setup. All three screens are seamlessly integrated with each other here. And this is called the MBUX Hyper Screen. Here you can see the latest generation technology and hardware Now of course the screen here is for the entertainment of the front passenger and in the center I get to interact with the various functions of this vehicle And of course, right up here I have the driver information screen. Now, if I draw your attention to this point here Its response is very smooth. The touchscreen has a very fast response. and it allows me to go through the various functions From here, I can also open the boot. I can also turn the cabin lights on and off. and I can also control the sky control Now, what is sky control? The car comes with a fixed panoramic glass roof. and that has a sky control function As you will see,美貌 here these The photo is chromatic glass, which allows me to toggle its opacity. by using the sky control feature and that's not all, The glass also features the Mercedes-Benz stars integrated into it. And even among these, you can see that ambient lighting. Moving forward, as I told you earlier, the India spec car is standard. Comes with some AMG kit elements and that also includes this really nice flat-bottom AMG steering wheel Steering wheel date the Genshi Electric is coming with Moving on over all here you'll see very premium The materials used here are the pin strip wood. Element here in the center console all the burst steel elements everywhere around And right here in the middle, you can see not one but two Wireless smart phone chargers of course you also get Two cup holders in the center and if I get into this Very deep here, you're going to be Storage space is visible But that's pretty standard. this being an electric If you look down here you also get an additional storage area to keep different things, and it also comes with USB Type C ports overall, the car gives you extremely luxurious feel and these front seats get the Mercedes-Benz ergonomic technology that we have been told about but the one thing that is not there is Ventilation. These seats are heated. but they do not come with cool ventilation moving forward Of course, the ambient light suite is truly extremely comprehensive here. and it also works in tandem with ADAS technology to keep you informed if there are any pedestrians or any other kind of The obstacles around the car will light up. at different locations to alert you so that you are never caught off guard at any moment Burmester's very high-fidelity audio The system is also showing you to me. which comes with Dolby Atmos and sounds really good Now let's take a quick look at the kind of comfort the backseat in the GLC Electric Speaking of backseat comfort So you know, there are slight improvements and increments. thanks to that larger size and greater dimensions that the GLC Electric has in comparison to the ICE model but besides that, the comfort is there But quite a few things are quite straightforward. There is no three-zone climate control in the car. Here you can see standard AC vents. and a small storage area and two USB Type C ports right down there but the front seat is adjusted to my height which is 5'11 and I've got plenty of legroom here And And it's also very good as a glass It's turned out to be a great scoop about the panoramic view. So I'm seeing myself so clearly in this mirror Now today we are about the black interior theme Theme but best on the exterior color Mercury This offering is free to you with a different interior theme including a white and gray theme and a Brown theme, yes, but a moving word, that's it. The car we are sitting in has an all-black theme. Looks really sporty and will also be easy to live with. The other thing I'm noticing is the thigh support located here For a person of my height, it's a bit compromised. even if I stretch my legs out completely under the front seat. Here, a little under-thigh support Compromise seems to be coming my way to see. Overall, it is not going to be a deal breaker; it is very a comfortable space to be inside, but of course there are some things that I wish Mercedes-Benz had paid a bit more attention to the work Now that all that's out of the way, let's get down to business. In terms of performance specifications, what is it that we are getting into the India-spec car of the GLC Electric Starters at Prek Well You get a 94 kilowatt-hour battery pack Diet gives you a WLT-P certified Range of 711 kilometers not diet is a Lot and it is all because of the new Platform Diet The Zee C Electric but that information is not particularly useful for immediate buyers at this moment because currently Mercedes-Benz is itself in the process of updating their own charging network to make that fast charging capability available To the customers of GLC Electric. Moving on to power, of course this is a 4Matic vehicle, which means that it has all-wheel drive and that is through the dual motor configuration available in the GLC Electric, One motor in the front and one in the rear. Together, these motors produce a combined output of 489 horsepower. and 800 newton meters of torque that also gives this SUV a 0 to 100 kilometers a time of just 4.3 seconds per hour That is certainly pretty quick. for the section where the GLC electric is located It's a 4MATIC, so it's somewhat off-road friendly. You will also see the features. As Terren Moods and the invisible bonnet functions to make things easier when you're out on trails or something like that That, of course, is safety—being a Mercedes-Benz. car safety is one of the top priorities for the GLC electric, and this is also reflected in the type of hardware and equipment that the brand has integrated into this SUV Level 2A DICE and it Also comes with up to eight cameras and five radars 4 on the cornersfcn and 1 on the front of the SUV right here, and overall it gives it a full suite. such as ADAS features as emergency braking and even evasive steering wheel maneuvers that is also really interesting now when we get to see and drive the car is something that we will be, you know, seeing how that all works but for now, this was the walkaround in the matter of the GLC electricity price at the time of Now shoot this walkaround We do not know the price of the new JLC electric. but I would wager that if Mercedes-Benz is able to Put the price under one crore rupees The Mercedes-Benz GLC Electric will still attract many buyers out there. because this is one of the most successful lineups of models for the brand in this country Mercedes-Benz has already sold over 22,000 GLC SUVs in India. And I don't think the GLC Electric is going to be any different. Let us know what you think about the new GLC Electric in the comments. in the section below, it has the looks, it has the futuristic elements, This looked really cool to me, the front grill with the backlighting and in fact, 942 LEDs operate to illuminate this backlit grill And just let me know what you think about this electric SUV.
