Verdict

The GLC EQ makes a serious paper case as a compact executive EV: 482 hp, AWD and a 713 km claimed range are substantial numbers, while 800V technology and air suspension add useful substance beyond a conventional premium badge. RM370,000 is still a large outlay, but it sits below the RM400,000 threshold previously reached by neither the BMW X3 nor Volvo XC60 in their highest trims.
