Boot 520 l What reviewers say Reviewers agree the Electric GLC is comfortable, quiet and roomy, with a high-quality, technology-packed cabin and a long range. The common criticism is that it isn't engaging to drive; Autocar and Carwow both rate the BMW iX3 as the better drive, and Parkers notes the best technology is kept for the higher trims.
