Mercedes-Benz USA announced a new plug-in hybrid variant of its popular GLC SUV model series, the 2025 GLC 350e 4MATIC SUV. The standard offerings of the GLC 300 4MATIC SUV will carry over to the plug-in hybrid, while adding more new standard features to enhance the electric experience.
The new plug-in hybrid model will arrive at US dealerships in the second half of 2024.
The hybrid drive system of the GLC 350e 4MATIC SUV consists of a 134 hp permanently excited electric synchronous motor with internal rotor paired with a 24.8 kWh battery, contributing to a combined system output of up to 313 hp and 406 lb.-ft. of combined system torque.
The electric motor offers 325 lb.-ft. of instantly available torque for agile acceleration. Mercedes‑Benz also uses a vacuum-independent, electromechanical brake booster that combines electric recuperation with the hydraulic brakes to achieve the best possible energy recovery depending on the driving situation. As a result, maximum recuperation power of up to 100 kW can be achieved more frequently than with a conventional, purely hydraulic brake system.
With an electric range of up to 130 kilometers (~81 miles) according to WLTP, drivers can cover most everyday trips without using the vehicle’s internal combustion engine.
Further optimizing efficiency, the Hybrid drive program utilizes the Electric drive mode for the most appropriate driving situations. For example, during city driving, the GLC 350e prioritizes electric propulsion. An Off-Road drive mode enables the plug-in hybrid to drive electrically on off-road terrain. All-electric driving is possible up to 87 mph. With the standard 60 kW DC charger, a full charge can be achieved in around 30 minutes.
The GLC 350e 4MATIC SUV mirrors the same exterior and interior design as the GLC 300 and GLC 300 4MATIC SUVs, which are already available in the US.
Pricing for the 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC 350e 4MATIC SUV will be announced closer to market launch.
