Do you want EV news in your mailbox every week – SUBSCRIBE

Below is a Sweden + EU comparison of Volvo EX60, BMW iX3 (Neue Klasse / iX3 50 xDrive), and the new electric Mercedes-Benz GLC (“GLC with EQ Technology”) focusing on WLTP, 10–80% charging, towing, and pricing.

Here are real “driving / road test” YouTube videos for each model (with direct links). I’ve included the best 3-way comparison too.

1) Key specs (WLTP, 10–80%, tow) — apples-to-apples table

Item	Volvo EX60	BMW iX3 (Neue Klasse)	Mercedes-Benz GLC Electric (“with EQ Technology”)
WLTP range (max)	Up to 810 km (top variant) (Volvo Cars)	Up to 805 km (range band 679–805 km) (bmw.se)	Up to 713 km (Long Range); up to 672 km (Standard Range) (Mynewsdesk)
DC fast charge (peak)	Up to 370–400 kW depending on source/variant; 800V platform (Volvo Cars)	400 kW (800V) (bmw.se)	Up to 330 kW (800V) (Mynewsdesk)
10–80% DC	18 min (noted for DC 400 kW on Volvo specs page) (Volvo Cars) \nVariant table shows 15–19 min depending on battery/charger config	21 min (10–80% at 400 kW) (bmw.se)	Commonly stated ~22 min (10–80%) in Swedish dealer material and UK aggregators; official Sweden PR focuses on 330 kW + “~30 mil in 10 min” rather than 10–80 time (Bilia)
Max braked towing	2,400 kg (Volvo Cars)	2,000 kg (also notes 80 kg nose weight) (bmw.se)	2,400 kg (braked) (Mynewsdesk)

Reported Swedish “from” pricing: 689,000 / 729,000 / 809,000 SEK for P6 / P10 / P12 (varies by trim/equipment). (Elbilen)

Official Swedish launch pricing: from 769,000 SEK (GLC 400 4MATIC, incl. a large standard equipment package). (Mynewsdesk)

EU prices vary a lot by country (tax/VAT and standard equipment differ). Here are hard, cited reference points:

Ireland retail price list shows (example): €66,695 (P6 Plus) up to €83,895 (P12 Ultra).
(That same price list also shows WLTP figures per variant: 620 / 660 / 810 km.)

German base pricing has been reported around €70,900 shortly before launch (and described as an increase vs earlier figures). (electrive.com)
(Reuters earlier referenced €68,900 at IAA context—so you’ll see both depending on timing. (Reuters))

Official UK comms focus on specs and positioning; Sweden has a firm SEK “from” price. For EU EUR pricing, it’s typically country-specific, and Mercedes often publishes it via national configurators/price lists rather than one pan-EU number. (Mynewsdesk)

If you want “all details,” the model variants matter a lot:

The Volvo retail price list shows usable batteries ~80 / 91 / 112 kWh and 10–80 times ~15–19 min depending on variant and charger voltage/power.
WLTP in that same table: 620 / 660 / 810 km.

BMW technical data (Sweden): 108.7 kWh battery, 679–805 km WLTP, 400 kW DC, 10–80 in 21 min. (bmw.se)

Sweden press release: up to 713 km (Long Range), up to 330 kW, 2400 kg tow, and it explicitly states the 769,000 SEK start price. (Mynewsdesk)
Several sources cite ~22 min 10–80%. (Bilia)

Longest WLTP headline: Volvo EX60 (up to 810 km) edges BMW iX3 (up to 805 km); Mercedes is up to 713 km in Long Range.
Fastest 10–80 claim: EX60 is quoted at ~18 min (and even 15 min for a specific 800V/charger scenario in a variant table), BMW iX3 is 21 min, Mercedes is ~22 min (commonly stated). (Volvo Cars)
Best towing: EX60 and electric GLC both cite 2,400 kg, BMW iX3 cites 2,000 kg. (Volvo Cars)
Lowest “from” price in Sweden (as stated in sources): EX60 (from ~689k SEK) vs iX3 (from ~749.9k) vs GLC Electric (from ~769k). (Elbilen)
