March 27 2025,
The morning commute often defines how your day unfolds. The 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC 350e 4MATIC SUV reimagines this daily ritual with its class-leading 87-kilometre all-electric range that eliminates the need to rely on fuel for most daily drives. This plug-in hybrid SUV delivers 313 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque while providing the flexibility to handle both your urban travels and weekend adventures.
The GLC 350e combines power and efficiency in a luxurious package that starts at $69,738. With three distinct trim levels and extensive personalization options, this vehicle adapts to your specific needs while transforming your daily travel experience through innovative technology and thoughtful design.
Extended Electric Freedom
The GLC 350e's 87-kilometre all-electric range stands as the benchmark in its segment, fundamentally changing how you experience your daily commute. This range covers the average Canadian commuting distance with power to spare, allowing you to complete your workday travel without using a drop of fuel. The 24.8 kWh battery powers the 134 hp electric motor to deliver smooth, quiet propulsion that enhances your morning and evening drives.
Your regular routes become more economical and environmentally responsible as the "Hybrid" drive program intelligently prioritizes electric propulsion during city driving. The extended range also reduces the frequency of charging, adding convenience to your schedule while lowering your transportation costs. For drivers with charging access at work, the round trip becomes entirely electric, eliminating fuel stops from your routine.
Rapid Charging Convenience
The optional 60-kW DC fast charging capability transforms how you integrate recharging into your schedule. With this feature, the GLC 350e achieves a full battery charge in approximately 30 minutes – about the time it takes to enjoy lunch or attend a brief meeting. This rapid recharging turns previously wasted moments into productive charging time.
Standard AC charging provides flexibility for overnight home charging, ensuring you start each day with maximum range. The vehicle's charging system integrates with the MBUX infotainment interface, allowing you to monitor charging progress remotely through your smartphone. This connectivity helps you plan your day around your vehicle's charging status without interrupting your regular activities.
Intelligent Drive Adaptation
The GLC 350e automatically optimizes your driving experience through intelligent drive programs that adapt to different situations. The "Hybrid" mode analyzes your route and driving conditions to determine the most efficient use of power sources, seamlessly switching between electric and gasoline propulsion without driver intervention.
When you need additional performance, the combined output of 313 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque delivers immediate acceleration. The self-leveling suspension system maintains optimal ride height regardless of load or driving conditions, ensuring consistent handling and comfort throughout your commute. These intelligent adaptations mean your vehicle responds appropriately to varying traffic conditions, making your journey smoother and less taxing.
Seamless Digital Integration
The third-generation MBUX infotainment system transforms your connection with your vehicle, becoming an intelligent assistant for your daily drives. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto sync your digital life with your driving experience, providing access to navigation, communication, and entertainment without cables or complicated setup procedures.
The Digital Vehicle Key function allows you to use your smartphone as your key, simplifying access and adding convenience when your hands are full with work materials or shopping. KEYLESS-GO and KEYLESS-START extend this convenience further, recognizing your approach and allowing you to enter and start your vehicle without removing the key from your pocket or bag. These features streamline the transitions in your day, making each journey more efficient.
Luxury Without Compromise
