The Basics

What is the Mercedes GLC 400 4MATIC?

The GLC 400 4MATIC is the launch version of the new, fully electric Mercedes-Benz GLC, built on a dedicated EV platform rather than adapted from a combustion car. It is important to note this is a separate model from the existing petrol and diesel GLC that Mercedes continues to sell alongside it, so it is always worth confirming with your consultant that you are being quoted the electric version.

The GLC 400 4MATIC uses two electric motors, one on each axle, for a combined output of 489hp and all-wheel drive as standard. A rear-mounted two-speed transmission and a front-axle disconnect unit are used to balance outright performance with efficiency, giving a 0–62mph time of 4.3 seconds and an official range of up to 406 miles from its 94kWh usable battery.

As a zero-emission company car, the GLC 400 4MATIC qualifies for the lowest band of Benefit in Kind tax available in the UK, and its combination of Mercedes interior quality, a class-leading multi-screen "Hyperscreen" option and genuinely usable range makes it a strong choice for businesses wanting a premium electric SUV for directors and senior staff. Business Car Leasing lets your company access the GLC 400 4MATIC on fixed monthly payments, without the high upfront cost of buying outright.

Why Lease This Car?

Why businesses choose the GLC 400 4MATIC on lease

The electric GLC combines Mercedes' interior quality and comfort-focused ride with genuinely competitive range and charging, making it a strong choice for directors and business fleets moving to electric.

Low Benefit in Kind

As a zero-emission vehicle, the GLC 400 4MATIC sits in the lowest BiK band available, 4% for 2026/27, dramatically cutting company car tax compared with an equivalent petrol or diesel SUV.

💼

Protect Your Cash Flow

Replace the high purchase price of a premium electric SUV with a fixed monthly rental, keeping working capital available for the rest of the business rather than tied up in a depreciating asset.

📉

No Depreciation Risk

Electric vehicle residual values can move quickly, especially on an all-new platform. On Business Contract Hire, the finance company carries that risk, not your business.

🔋

Comfort-Focused Everyday Range

With up to 406 miles of official range and 330kW rapid charging, the GLC 400 4MATIC comfortably covers most business mileage while offering a notably quiet, refined ride.

🌍

Support ESG & Sustainability Goals

Moving company car drivers into zero-emission vehicles like the GLC 400 4MATIC supports corporate sustainability commitments and reduces fleet-related carbon reporting.

Tax Considerations

Tax advantages of a Mercedes GLC 400 4MATIC company car

The GLC 400 4MATIC's zero-emission status brings meaningful tax advantages, although exact treatment depends on individual circumstances. Always seek advice from your accountant or tax adviser.

4% Benefit in Kind

Fully electric cars like the GLC 400 4MATIC attract a BiK rate of just 4% for 2026/27, rising to 5% in 2027/28, dramatically reducing company car tax versus an equivalent combustion SUV.

🧾

VAT Recovery

VAT-registered businesses may reclaim up to 50% of the VAT on the lease rental where there is any private use, or up to 100% for exclusively business use. Maintenance VAT is generally 100% reclaimable.

🏢

Corporation Tax

Monthly lease rentals on the GLC 400 4MATIC may generally be treated as an allowable business expense, and zero-emission vehicles are not subject to the lease rental restriction that applies to higher-emission cars.

Mercedes GLC 400 4MATIC vs Other Electric SUVs

The electric GLC competes directly with the BMW iX3, Audi Q6 e-tron and Tesla Model Y, all similarly sized and priced. The GLC is generally regarded as offering a quieter, more comfort-oriented ride and Mercedes' most advanced cabin technology, including the optional Hyperscreen, while the iX3 currently leads on official range and the Model Y undercuts it on price. VCEA can quote across all of these alongside the GLC so you can compare monthly costs side by side.

GLC 400 4MATIC Business Leasing vs Personal Contract Purchase (PCP)

PCP agreements include an optional Guaranteed Future Value, a final balloon payment giving the option to buy, return or part-exchange. Business Car Leasing on the GLC 400 4MATIC has no purchase option, the car is simply returned at the end, avoiding any exposure to future battery or resale values, which can be harder to predict on an all-new platform than on an established combustion car.
