Performance and Powertrain
The GLC Electric wins on raw output. Its dual permanently excited synchronous motors combine for 483 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque, reaching 60 mph in 4.2 seconds. That is a meaningful margin over the EX60's peak of 369 hp and 354 lb-ft.
Where the EX60 offers flexibility, the GLC Electric offers a single configuration. The EX60 lineup spans RWD-only P6 trims for buyers focused on maximum efficiency, and AWD P10 trims for those who want all-weather traction. Every EX60 rides on Volvo's 800-volt SPA3 architecture, which supports fast DC charging through a native NACS port, meaning no adapter is needed at Tesla Supercharger stations.
The GLC Electric also supports 800-volt charging and uses NACS, with a peak DC charging rate of 330 kW that allows a 10-to-80-percent charge in roughly 22 minutes. The EX60's 19.2 kW onboard AC charger with bi-directional capability adds a practical edge for home energy use. Breathe Charge battery preconditioning software on the EX60 helps the battery reach optimal temperature before DC fast charging sessions.
On towing, the GLC Electric holds an advantage at 5,291 lbs versus the EX60's 4,500 lbs.
