    Description:

    The 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC 350e 4MATIC Plug-in Hybrid is a midsize luxury SUV that blends electric mobility with gasoline power, targeting buyers interested in premium PHEV efficiency. This model is part of Mercedes’ continued effort to expand plug-in hybrid options within its SUV lineup.

    Range and Battery of the Mercedes-Benz GLC PHEV:

    • The vehicle features a 23 kWh battery (usable), offering an estimated electric-only range of up to 87 km (EPA) or 119 km (WLTP).

    • Level 2 AC charging supports up to 11 kW, providing a full charge in under 3 hours.

    • Optional DC fast charging (rare for PHEVs) enables 60 kW charging, allowing a 10–80% charge in around 30 minutes.

    • The combined fuel economy during hybrid operation is rated at approximately 3.5 L/100 km.

    • In colder climates, range may drop due to battery thermal demands, which can engage the gas engine even in EV mode.

    • Power is sent through a 9-speed automatic transmission to a standard 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system.

    • 0–100 km/h acceleration is rated at approximately 6.7 seconds, offering brisk performance for a plug-in SUV.

    • The drive experience emphasizes comfort and smoothness, with quiet electric propulsion at low speeds and seamless transition to hybrid operation.

    • Regenerative braking includes multiple levels and a one-pedal driving mode, though reviewers noted inconsistent feel in some settings.

    Technology and Features of the Mercedes-Benz GLC PHEV:

    • Includes the latest MBUX infotainment with dual 12.3-inch digital displays, voice control, and EV-specific menus.

    • Touch-based steering wheel controls and capacitive climate sliders are present, though some reviewers found them distracting.

    • Driver assistance includes adaptive cruise control, lane keeping, blind spot assist, and 360° camera.
