Over 100 km in electric range
The Mercedes-Benz GLC 350 e 4MATIC perfectly integrates performance, efficiency, and sustainability with its advanced powertrain. Powered by a 1,999 cc four-cylinder petrol engine, it delivers an output of 150 kW (204 hp) at 6,100 rpm, with a robust torque of 320 Nm from 2,000 to 4,000 rpm. This ensures a dynamic yet smooth driving experience. Supporting the engine is an electric motor rated at 100 kW and a torque of 440 Nm, resulting in a combined system output of 230 kW (313 hp) and a peak torque of 550 Nm.
The high-voltage (HV) battery, with an energy content of 25.4 kWh, powers the electric motor. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h is achieved in just 6.7 seconds, and the vehicle reaches a top speed of 218 km/h. Equipped with a standard-fit 11 kW charger for three-phase charging, the GLC 350 e 4MATIC ensures convenient recharging at home with a Wallbox or public charging stations. A mode 2 charging cable is included for added flexibility.
While the equipment level follows the offering of previously very successful variants of the GLC SUV offered in the Malaysian market, the new GLC 350 e 4MATIC now offers the Driving Assistance Package Plus. Thus, the newest representative of the GLC family offers features such as Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC with extended automatic restart function on motorways, Active Stop-and-Go Assist, and Active Steering Assist with hands-off warning. Enhanced safety is provided by functions as, e.g. the Active Brake Assist with vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian detection, Cross-traffic function, Active Lane Keeping Assist, and Active Blind Spot Assist.

Key exterior features include the AMG front apron with chrome trim, a rear apron with a diffuser look, and the Panoramic sliding sunroof, creating a bright and pleasant interior ambiance.
Further enhancing its bold look, the GLC rides on 20-inch AMG multi-spoke light-alloy wheels. The DIGITAL LIGHT system and signature Mercedes-Benz pattern grille complete the vehicle’s stylish exterior. The newly designed rear, featuring chrome accents, simulated underguard, and 3D rear lights connected by a glossy black trim, underscores the confident stance of the GLC.
