The Mercedes GLC EQ is now beyond the reveal stage: orders opened in selected markets and production began in Bremen in 2026. Price still depends heavily on country, tax and equipment, so this page separates confirmed information from assumptions. Start with our full GLC EQ 400 review if you need the technical overview.
GLC EQ price and release date
| Milestone | Confirmed information |
|---|---|
| Order opening in the Netherlands | GLC 400 4MATIC orders announced in late 2025 |
| Production | Started in Bremen in 2026 |
| Dutch GLC 400 launch price | €72,642 in order-opening communication |
| Dutch June 2026 price | €72,651 for Business Solution, including VAT and delivery costs |
| Current additional versions in Dutch source | GLC 300 4MATIC from €67,569; GLC 250 from €63,939 |
Those euro figures are Dutch recommended retail prices, not universal European prices. Registration tax, VAT, delivery charges, trim structure and standard equipment vary. A UK, Irish or German car with the same badge can have a different specification and a different value equation.
What is included in the advertised price?
Request a written build sheet. Confirm wheel size, paint, driver-assistance package, heat pump, tow bar, rear-axle steering, AC onboard charger and charging cable. The current manufacturer table says 11 kW AC is standard and 22 kW is optional; this alone can matter to drivers with three-phase home or workplace charging.
Which GLC EQ version should you choose?
The GLC 400 4MATIC prioritises performance and all-wheel drive with 360 kW, 800 Nm and 0–100 km/h in 4.3 seconds. Later Dutch material also lists GLC 300 4MATIC and rear-drive GLC 250 versions with smaller 85 kWh usable batteries. The less powerful variants may be cheaper and efficient enough for most families, while the GLC 400 is the clearest choice for maximum performance and the strongest published range.
Seven questions before paying a deposit
- What is the guaranteed build month and estimated delivery window?
- What WLTP range belongs to this exact wheel and trim combination?
- Is 22 kW AC charging fitted or merely available as an option?
- Is the tow bar factory-approved and what limit appears on this vehicle's documents?
- Which driver-assistance functions are included without a subscription?
- What battery warranty and capacity-retention terms apply locally?
- Is the price protected if taxes or manufacturer pricing change before delivery?
GLC EQ value versus BMW iX3
BMW priced the iX3 50 xDrive from €73,925 OTR in Ireland, but comparing that number directly with a Dutch Mercedes price would be misleading. Compare both cars in the same country with equivalent options. The BMW leads on official range and charging peak; the Mercedes leads on rear boot volume, frunk volume and towing. Our GLC EQ vs BMW iX3 comparison sets out the specifications side by side.
When to order and when to wait
Order early if you need the GLC's 2,400 kg tow rating, value the exact launch specification and have a clear delivery deadline. Waiting can make sense if you want a lower-powered version, need independent winter-range tests or expect local incentives to change. A deposit should follow a written specification, not just a headline range.
