The Model X uses 22.93 kWh/100 km. Electricity is € .31 / KWH. 22.93 * .31 = € 7.1083 / 100 km

The GLC 200d uses 5.2 L/100 km (best efficiency). Diesel is € 1.266/L. 5.2 * 1.266 = € 6.5832 / 100 km

So yea in DE it may be more cost beneficial to drive diesel than electric. If you get a GLC 300 using gasoline it goes up to € 9.798 / 100 km.

I guess it also relies on whether you can get any deal for electricity or not. Here in UK I pay £0.15/kWh, but during the night it goes down to £0.07/kWh. So as long as I can limit charging the car to nighttime, it's actually very very cheap.

GLC is a much smaller vehicle than Model X.
