Mercedes-Benz Electric GLC On-Road Price in Pune

By a wide margin. Maharashtra charges diesel cars 15% above ₹20 lakh, about ₹11.7 lakh on the ₹78 lakh GLC 220d. The Electric GLC pays no road tax at all. So the electric car costs ₹50,000 more ex-showroom but far less on the road.

Mercedes quotes 4.3 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h, from two motors making 489 hp and 800 Nm. That is 1.9 seconds quicker than the petrol GLC 300. It merges easily onto the expressway, and all-wheel drive helps on the wet ghat sections.

Goa is roughly 450 km from Pune, within the 711 km WLTP figure on paper. Real highway range is lower, so plan a fast charging stop if you drive briskly. The car accepts up to 330 kW DC, and 10 to 80% takes 22 minutes on a charger that powerful.

The main boot holds 570 litres, and a 128 litre front trunk under the bonnet adds more, so 698 litres in all. Fold the rear seats and the boot grows to 1,740 litres. The petrol GLC's single boot holds 620 litres.

It gets Level 2 driver assistance with DISTRONIC adaptive cruise control, a 360 degree camera and Parking Assist. Mercedes says Steering Assist and other Level 2+ functions can be added later by an over-the-air update. In Pune's crowded lanes, the camera and parking help matter most.
