2025 Mercedes GLC 350e Can Go 54 Miles On Electric Power

Mercedes-Benz has confirmed pricing and all-electric range estimates for the updated GLC-Class plug-in hybrid. The GLC 350e 4Matic SUV boasts a remarkable EPA-rated 54 miles of range. According to Axios, the average American commutes 42 miles a day, which means the GLC 350e could be daily-driven on electric power alone – significantly reducing fuel bills.

The electrified luxury crossover is powered by a 2.0-liter engine paired with a 134-horsepower electric motor. Combined outputs are rated at 313 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque, resulting in strong performance and efficiency. 0-60 mph is dispatched in an estimated 6.2 seconds, while the top speed is limited to 130 mph. In all-electric mode, the GLC 350e tops out at 87 mph.

Efficient, Fast, And Frugal

A 24.8 kWh battery provides the electric motor with the energy it needs, and when plugged into a 60 kW DC charger, the battery can be fully charged in as little as 30 minutes. Gas-only fuel economy figures are rated at 23/28/25 mpg on the city/highway/combined cycles. With the electric motor included, that increases to 60/70/64 MPGe on the same cycles.
