Mercedes-Benz has raised the bar in the luxury compact SUV segment with its latest offering, the 2025 GLC 350e 4MATIC SUV. This plug-in hybrid model has achieved an impressive all-electric range of 87 kilometres, as certified by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), positioning it at the forefront of its class.
Powertrain Excellence

The NRCan-certified 87-kilometre all-electric range is a game-changer for daily commuters, allowing most trips to be completed without engaging the internal combustion engine. For mixed driving scenarios, the "Hybrid" drive program optimizes electric propulsion, particularly beneficial in urban environments.
Charging convenience is a key feature, with the standard 60-kW DC charging capacity enabling a full battery recharge in just 30 minutes. This quick charging ability enhances the vehicle's practicality for both short trips and longer journeys.
