Mercedes-Benz new electrified option for its top-selling GLC-Class called the 2025 GLC 350e plug-in hybrid. It’s arriving in U.S. showrooms now and costs $61,050 including a $1,150 destination charge.

The latest GLC-Class arrived for the 2023 model year, initially with a sole GLC 300 grade powered by a 2.0-liter turbo-4 rated at 258 hp. The GLC 350e builds on the GLC 300 by adding an electric motor rated at 134 hp for a combined output of 313 hp.

A large 24.8-kwh battery translates to an EPA-rated 54 miles of electric range. A full charge using a DC fast charger will take around 30 minutes, Mercedes said.

In electric mode, the top speed is limited to 87 mph. The driver can select Electric mode using a drive mode selector. Also included is an Off-Road mode that enables the vehicle to travel on electric power alone even on off-road terrain.

Standard equipment includes all-wheel drive, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, an 11.9-inch infotainment screen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless smartphone charging, heated 16-way front seats with memory, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, ambient lighting, a power tailgate, and a host of electronic driver-assist features.

The latest GLC-Class is also available with a coupe-like body style, but Mercedes hasn’t said whether this option can be combined with the GLC 350e grade.

The latest GLC 63 from AMG is also a plug-in hybrid. Known as the GLC 63 S E Performance, it delivers up to 671 hp from a 2.0-liter turbo up front and a powerful electric motor at the rear.

Buyers willing to wait can look forward to an electric GLC-Class. Prototypes for this model are currently out testing ahead of a debut expected sometime next year.
