The New GLC 350e 4MATIC SUV: Luxury and Efficiency Collide

 



Calling all eco-conscious adventurers! Mercedes-Benz USA has just unveiled the 2025 GLC 350e 4MATIC SUV, a plug-in hybrid variant that injects electric excitement into the popular GLC lineup.

More Power, More Efficiency, More GLC

The GLC 350e 4MATIC SUV builds upon the solid foundation of the GLC 300 4MATIC, inheriting its extensive features and adding a suite of upgrades specifically geared towards the electric driving experience. Arriving in dealerships later this year, it promises a perfect blend of design, performance, comfort, and eco-friendliness.

At the heart of this SUV lies a sophisticated hybrid powertrain. A powerful 134 hp electric motor joins forces with a substantial 24.8 kWh battery, churning out a combined system output of 313 hp and a whopping 406 lb-ft of torque. That translates to exhilarating acceleration thanks to the electric motor's instant 325 lb-ft of torque, all while a vacuum-independent brake booster ensures optimal energy recovery.

The best part? You can cruise for up to an estimated 81 miles (130 kilometers according to WLTP) on pure electric power, making emissions-free commutes and errands a breeze. And when a longer journey beckons, a "Hybrid" drive program seamlessly blends electric and gasoline power for ultimate efficiency.

Luxury You Expect, Customization You Desire

The GLC 350e 4MATIC SUV doesn't compromise on style. It maintains the progressive design language of its GLC siblings, offering a variety of paint colors, upholstery options, and wheel styles to let you personalize your ride.

Stepping inside, you'll be greeted by the hallmark luxury Mercedes-Benz is known for. Heated front seats, intuitive Mercedes-Benz Navigation, a convenient KEYLESS-GO system, and dual-zone automatic climate control are just a few of the standard features that elevate every drive. Ambient lighting adds the finishing touch, allowing you to create the perfect mood for any journey.

Charging Made Easy

Owning a plug-in hybrid shouldn't be a hassle. That's why the GLC 350e 4MATIC SUV comes standard with Mercedes me Charge, seamlessly integrating numerous charging point operators into a single network. This grants you access to nearly 100,000 public charging stations across the U.S., so you can always keep your battery topped up.

Mercedes-Benz isn't stopping there. The company is investing heavily in the future of electric mobility, partnering to establish a network of 2,500 high-power, branded chargers across 400 charging hubs in North America by the end of the decade.

Stay tuned for pricing information closer to the launch date, but one thing's for sure: the 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC 350e 4MATIC SUV is poised to be a game-changer for those seeking luxury, performance, and environmental responsibility, all rolled into one stunning package.
