2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC 350 e 4MATIC X254

• The GLC 350 e 4MATIC delivers 313 hp and 406 lb‑ft of torque from a turbocharged 2.0L petrol engine paired with an electric motor and a 24.8 kWh battery, providing up to 54 miles (87 km) of electric range.

• Its compact SUV body measures 185.7 in (L) × 75.6 in (W) × 64.6 in (H), offers 56.3 cu ft of maximum cargo space, and accelerates from 0–60 mph in about 6.2 seconds.

• U.S. pricing starts at $61,050, placing it in striking distance of other luxury PHEVs that offer strong performance with reduced range anxiety.

Efficient Power: Hybrid with Real Capability

The GLC 350 e 4MATIC pulls together Mercedes-Benz’s efficient power expertise into its compact luxury SUV offering. The 2.0 L turbocharged four-cylinder engine partners with 134 hp from an electric motor, summing to 313 hp and 406 lb‑ft of combined torque when the battery is engaged.

You can cover 54 miles (87 km) on electric power alone, with the option to charge rapidly in about 20 minutes (DC fast-charging). That places real-world urban daily driving fully in electric territory for many users.

Compact Dimensions, Roomy Utility

Despite its modest exterior footprint, the GLC 350 e maintains a practical cabin. Its 185.7 in length, 75.6 in width, and 64.6 in height fit the compact SUV niche precisely. Rear legroom, headroom, and total cargo expand up to 56.3 cubic feet with rear seats folded.

Acceleration to 60 mph takes around 6.2 seconds—a pace that aligns with luxury benchmarks for plug-in hybrids in this class.

Trim & Technology: A Familiar Luxury Feel

Inside, the GLC 350 e mirrors the non-hybrid GLC sibling in styling and layout—with Mercedes-Benz’s MBUX system, ambient lighting, and premium materials throughout. Available tech includes an 11.9-inch infotainment display, digital instrument cluster, heated power seats, panoramic sunroof, and upgrades like the Burmester audio system and driver assistance add-ons.

As a PHEV, it also features regen braking and a seamless transition between EV and hybrid modes, optimizing efficiency and performance throughout the drive.

At a starting price of $61,050, the GLC 350 e edges into plug-in hybrid territory previously dominated by German rivals. It stands out with genuine electric range, competitive output, and familiar luxury DNA. The EPA-certified 64 MPGe combined means reduced fuel expenditure after the battery depletes.
