New 2025 GLC 350e Sets Electric Range Record: 87 Kilometres of Pure Electric Luxury

The 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC 350e 4MATIC SUV arrives with an industry-leading 87 kilometres of all-electric range, establishing new standards for luxury plug-in hybrid vehicles. This premium SUV combines the versatility of a conventional powertrain with extended electric capabilities, making it a practical choice for Canadian drivers seeking both luxury and efficiency.


Leading the Charge with 87 Kilometres of Electric Range


The GLC 350e sets a new benchmark with its 87-kilometre all-electric range, a capability that transforms the daily driving experience. This range exceeds typical daily commuting distances for most Canadian urban centers, allowing drivers to complete their regular routines without using any fuel. The all-electric range means drivers can handle school drop-offs, workplace commutes, and evening activities while operating in pure electric mode, returning home to recharge overnight.


Advanced Hybrid Powertrain Performance


Under the hood, the GLC 350e combines a 2.0L turbocharged engine with a 134-horsepower electric motor, delivering a total system output of 313 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. The 24.8 kWh battery provides the foundation for the vehicle's extended electric range. This powertrain combination allows for confident acceleration, reaching 100 km/h in just 6.2 seconds while maintaining the ability to operate in zero-emission mode for local driving.


Maximizing Electric Driving Efficiency


The GLC 350e features an intelligent hybrid drive program that optimizes electric propulsion based on driving conditions. The system prioritizes electric power during city driving, where it proves most efficient. For added convenience, the optional 60-kW DC fast-charging capability allows the battery to reach a full charge in approximately 30 minutes. Standard AC charging at 9.6 kW provides flexible overnight charging options for home use.


Practical Benefits for Canadian Drivers


The GLC 350e's electric range brings tangible advantages to Canadian drivers. The ability to cover 87 kilometres on electric power alone means most daily commutes can be completed without engaging the gasoline engine. This capability translates to reduced fuel costs and lower environmental impact. The quick-charging options fit seamlessly into daily routines, with the ability to fully recharge during a typical lunch break or shopping trip. When longer journeys arise, the hybrid system provides peace of mind with its combined fuel economy rating of 3.7 Le/100km.


The 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC 350e 4MATIC SUV will arrive at Canadian dealerships in Q4 2024. It offers a premium driving experience that balances luxury with practical efficiency. Its class-leading electric range makes it a convincing choice for drivers seeking to reduce their environmental impact without compromising on the sophistication and capability expected from Mercedes-Benz.
