Muhammad NaeemThe Mercedes-Benz GLC is the luxury compact SUV that many Pakistani buyers dream of. It sits above the GLA and below the GLE in the Mercedes lineup, and it is one of the most popular luxury SUVs in the world. In Pakistan, the second generation GLC is sold as a plug-in hybrid through Shahnawaz (Pvt.) Limited, the official Mercedes-Benz partner in the country. If you are planning to buy one, here is the latest price, the tax breakup, full specs, and what you should know before paying.
Mercedes-Benz GLC Price in Pakistan
The new Mercedes-Benz GLC is sold in Pakistan in a single variant, the GLC 350e 4MATIC SUV. The price is PKR 97,800,000 (PKR 9.78 crore) ex-factory. This figure is listed on PakWheels and gari.pk, and bookings are made through a pay order in the name of Shahnawaz (Pvt.) Limited.
| Variant | Fuel Type | Ex-Factory Price |
| GLC 350e 4MATIC SUV | Plug-in Hybrid (Petrol + Electric) | PKR 97,800,000 |
This is the ex-factory price only. It does not include freight, withholding tax, registration, or other documentation charges. The final on-road price is higher, as shown below.
On-Road Price: Filer vs Non-Filer
At this price level the withholding tax is a big part of the cost. Filers pay PKR 4,890,000 while non-filers pay PKR 14,670,000 as withholding tax on the pay order. Here is the on-road breakup for two major cities, based on gari.pk estimates updated in October 2026.
| Item | Karachi (Filer / Non-Filer) | Islamabad (Filer / Non-Filer) |
| Ex-factory price | PKR 97,800,000 | PKR 97,800,000 |
| Withholding tax | PKR 4,890,000 / 14,670,000 | PKR 4,890,000 / 14,670,000 |
| Pay order price | PKR 102,690,000 / 112,470,000 | PKR 102,690,000 / 112,470,000 |
| Registration + token tax + plates | Approx. PKR 2,207,000 | Approx. PKR 2,153,800 |
| Total on-road (filer) | PKR 104,897,000 | PKR 104,843,800 |
| Total on-road (non-filer) | PKR 114,677,000 | PKR 114,623,800 |
Being a filer saves you nearly PKR 10 million on the purchase, which is one of the largest tax gaps in the Pakistani car market. These are estimates, so confirm the final figure with the dealership before you pay.

Features
The GLC comes loaded with the equipment buyers expect at this price. The cabin gets the Mercedes MBUX infotainment system with a large central touchscreen, a fully digital driver display, and touch controls on the steering wheel. Comfort features include power windows, a panoramic sunroof, cruise control, alloy rims, push-button start, a wireless phone charger, automatic climate control, and electric adjustable seats.
On the safety side you get seven airbags, ABS with electronic brakeforce distribution, front and rear parking sensors, a rear camera with 360-degree view, and vehicle stability control. These figures match the listings on PakWheels and gari.pk for the Pakistani variant.
Is the GLC Worth It? Buying Advice
The GLC makes sense if you want a proper luxury badge with everyday comfort. The plug-in hybrid system means short daily trips can run mostly on electric power, while the petrol engine handles long drives without range worry. Cabin quality, ride comfort, and road presence are the real reasons people buy this car.
But go in with open eyes. Maintenance and spare parts cost far more than a local SUV, and only the official dealer network truly knows this car, so you are tied to expensive service. The hybrid battery will need replacement many years down the line, and resale of luxury cars in Pakistan is slow compared to mass-market cars.
Price context helps here. A brand-new GLC costs about the same as ten brand-new Toyota Corolla sedans, so many buyers compare a used GLC with a new Corolla or Honda City at a similar budget. A used first-generation GLC can cost less than half the new price, but check its service history and battery health carefully before you buy.
Final verdict: if your budget reaches PKR 10 crore and you want comfort, brand value, and modern hybrid tech in one package, the GLC 350e is one of the safest luxury choices in Pakistan. Just make sure you are a tax filer first, because that alone saves you almost PKR 10 million.
