2027 Mercedes-Benz
GLC 350e 4MATIC® SUV

The 2027 Mercedes-Benz GLC 350e 4MATIC® SUV takes a different approach to electrification. Instead of using electricity primarily to assist the gasoline engine, its plug-in hybrid system provides enough battery capacity for up to 54 miles of EPA-estimated electric driving. That gives many owners the possibility of handling ordinary commuting and errands without using gasoline while retaining a turbocharged engine for longer trips.

Its fourth-generation plug-in hybrid system combines a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four with an electric motor for 313 combined horsepower and 406 lb-ft of combined torque. Mercedes-Benz estimates 0–60 mph in 6.3 seconds, and 4MATIC® fully variable all-wheel drive is standard. The nine-speed automatic transmission helps the GLC operate as a conventional luxury SUV once the gasoline engine is needed, eliminating the need to plan a long trip around charging stops.

Charging capability is unusually important here because Mercedes-Benz equips the GLC 350e with both AC and DC charging. Its 11-kW AC capability makes overnight or home charging practical, while standard 60-kW DC fast charging can take the battery from 10 to 80 percent in approximately 20 minutes under suitable conditions. That DC capability gives the plug-in GLC considerably more flexibility than PHEVs designed almost exclusively around home charging.

The hybrid hardware does not turn the GLC into a compromised specialty vehicle. It still seats five, provides 21.9 to 56.3 cubic feet of cargo capacity and can tow up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped. The chassis uses four-wheel independent suspension with a self-leveling rear air suspension, helping the GLC accommodate changing passenger and cargo loads while maintaining its ride height and composure.

For a Chicago-area owner with reliable access to charging, the GLC 350e offers an intriguing middle ground between a gasoline SUV and a fully electric vehicle. Its 54-mile electric range is substantial enough to cover many daily routines, while gasoline remains available whenever distance, weather or travel plans make it useful. Starting at $62,700, the 2027 GLC 350e 4MATIC® is the most expensive of the three mainstream GLC SUVs, but it is also the one that most dramatically changes how often an owner may need to visit a gas station.
