2025 Model Redesign Year

The GLC 350e PHEV is capable of an impressive 54 miles of all-electric driving. Further, the ability to take off under electric power smooths out the regular GLC's low-speed hesitation issues, while the combined 313 hp from the turbocharged four-cylinder and electric drive supply a healthy punch. However, when the battery gets depleted and the SUV operates as a regular hybrid, fuel economy drops to 24 mpg compared to 26 mpg overall for the regular GLC. But, unlike most other PHEVs, the GLC 350e's battery can be fully recharged at public DC fast-charging stations in just half an hour. Handling is agile and confidence-inspiring, and the PHEV's ride is more compliant than the regular GLC. The front seats are comfortable, and the rear seat is roomy.

Unfortunately, just about every media and climate function runs through the large center touchscreen, while the finger-sliding, capacitive-touch controls on the steering wheel require too much dexterity while driving.

2025 Model Redesign Year

The new GLC 350e is a plug-in hybrid compact luxury SUV with an EPA-rated 54 miles of all-electric driving. Unlike almost all PHEVs, the battery can be charged in DC-fast charging places in a little over an hour. The electric drive smooths out low-speed drivability issues and eliminates the shudder that comes with the stop/start and initial hesitation of the regular GLC that we tested. The turbocharged 2.0-liter engine, combined with the electric drive, supplies a healthy punch that feels more robust than the regular GLC. Handling is agile and confidence-inspiring, and the ride is steady and more compliant than the regular GLC. The front seats are super comfortable and supportive, and the rear seat is roomy.

Unfortunately, the unintuitive controls are distracting to use while driving. Optional driving assistance features include an advanced adaptive cruise control that is capable of changing lanes.
