This plug-in hybrid SUV establishes new standards in its category with its powerful 313 hp combined system output and extensive electric driving capability.
Now available, the GLC 350e 4MATIC has a base MSRP of $64,900. With three distinct trim levels and numerous personalization options, the GLC 350e offers luxury buyers an efficient alternative that reduces dependence on fossil fuels for daily driving while providing long-range capability for extended journeys.
- Class-Leading Electric Range
The GLC 350e 4MATIC SUV delivers an impressive 87 kilometers of all-electric range, setting the benchmark in its segment. This substantial electric capability means most daily commutes can be completed without engaging the internal combustion engine, providing greater flexibility and economic benefits. The vehicle intelligently manages power delivery through its "Hybrid" drive program, which prioritizes electric propulsion in appropriate driving scenarios, particularly during city driving.
- Powerful Hybrid System Performance
Behind the impressive capabilities of the GLC 350e lies a sophisticated hybrid system featuring a 134 hp electric motor paired with a 24.8 kWh battery. Working in conjunction with the 2.0L inline-4 turbo engine, the system delivers a combined output of 313 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque. This powerful drivetrain enables the SUV to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in just 6.2 seconds while maintaining an electronically limited top speed of 209 km/h (or 140 km/h in all-electric mode).
- Fast Charging Capability
The GLC 350e comes equipped with standard AC charging at 9.6 kW, while an optional 60-kW DC charging capacity enables a full battery charge in as little as 30 minutes.

- Exceptional Fuel Economy
With its advanced hybrid powertrain, the GLC 350e achieves remarkable fuel efficiency ratings. The combined gas and electric consumption is rated at just 3.7 Le (32.6 kWh + 0.0L) per 100km.
