Mercedes-Benz has recently announced the official pricing and electric range figure for the 2025 GLC 350e, their plug-in hybrid SUV. This vehicle, with its larger 24.8-kilowatt-hour battery pack, has an impressive electric range of 54 miles according to the EPA. With this figure, the GLC 350e surpasses other plug-in compact luxury SUVs, with the Volvo XC60 Recharge coming in as the closest competitor at 35 miles.
What sets the GLC 350e apart is its ability to charge at 60 kilowatts on a DC fast charger, allowing it to achieve a zero-to-full charge in under 30 minutes. This feature is ideal for those who prioritize using electric power whenever possible.
In terms of pricing, the GLC 350e starts at $61,050. It comes standard with 4Matic all-wheel drive, which contributes to its excellent performance capabilities. Comparatively, the non-PHEV equivalent, the GLC 300 4Matic, starts at $50,600. While the plug-in hybrid version comes at a higher price point, it offers significantly more power with 313 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque compared to the gas-only model’s 255 hp and 295 lb-ft. It’s worth noting that despite the added weight of the PHEV, both models have the same 0-60 time of 6.2 seconds.
For those looking for more features, there are higher trim options available for the GLC 350e. The Exclusive trim starts at $62,700 and the Pinnacle at $64,650. These trims offer additional luxury and technology enhancements for an elevated driving experience.
