We highly recommend watching the full video — Alriks does a fantastic job analyzing each car in a way our text cannot convey.

- Engine: 275 kW (373 hp)
- Battery: 80 kWh
- Range: 620 km (WLTP)

BMW iX3 Neue Klasse
- Engine: Up to 400 kW
- Battery: 80+ kWh

Mercedes GLC EQC

Nine Rounds — Who Wins What?
Alriks has structured his comparison into nine categories that really matter for the buyer. Without spoiling the tension in his video, we can state that each car has its strengths:
| Round | Category | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Charging | Fast charging determines highway usability |
| 2-3 | Range | Both WLTP and real winter range |
| 4 | Self-Driving | Future standard feature |
| 5 | Space | Practical family aspects |
| 6 | Comfort | Long-drive qualities |
| 7 | Driving Pleasure | Fun to drive = happier owner |
| 8 | Quality Feel | Premium experience |
| 9 | Economy | Total cost per mile |
Private Leasing — BMW iX3 vs Mercedes GLC
While Volvo EX60 isn't yet available for private leasing (cash purchase only), you can already order both BMW iX3 and Mercedes GLC:
| Car | Monthly Cost | Range | Charging | Advantages |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mercedes GLC | 8,495 SEK | ~750 km | 350 kW | Lowest monthly cost |
| BMW iX3 | 8,665 SEK | 805 km | 400 kW | Longest range, fastest charging |
170 SEK/month difference for BMW's class-leading range and fast charging — not bad. Mercedes compensates with established premium name and proven quality.
What Does Alriks Say — The Winner?
We won't spoil the end of his 20-minute analysis, but Alriks draws some interesting conclusions about what really matters for Swedish families. His focus on practical aspects like winter range, charging times and total economy makes this an invaluable guide for anyone considering a premium EV.
One thing is clear: all three vehicles represent the absolute top of EV technology in 2026. The choice is more about personal preference and economy than about fundamental capability.
