Mercedes-Benz Electric GLC electric lease deals

Leasing the new Mercedes GLC in the UK

One of the most iconic SUVs of all time is entering the electric car conversation – the GLC Electric. For the last 10 years, the petrol and diesel GLC has been the backbone of the UK’s core personal and business market. While the EQC, the EV version of this model did arrive in the market, this was not quite the zero-emission equivalent of what we knew Mercedes to be.

Although the EQC lasted between 2019 and 2023 in production, the Mercedes marketing team took the brand in a completely different direction for 2025 and beyond. Moving away from the traditional “EQ” A/B/C/E derivatives, the German engineers will now be returning to a name of old. The GLC Electric is very much reminiscent of what it means to have a Mercedes; the re-evolution is now here.

Authentic and versatile, the innovative SUV is distinctly coupe-style with refined proportions and iconic features. The sky control panoramic roof allows for a bright refined space with shimmering design and the seamless Hyperscreen is the ultimate technology experience.

Packed with technology like the 5G module, wireless charging for mobiles, USB package plus, electrically adjustable seats and the 4-way lumbar support are noted.
