Mercedes-Benz GLC Plug-in Hybrid

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.
