In 2015 Mercedes-Benz launched the second generation of its compact class SUV. The carmaker re-badged the GLK as a GLC, but the differences are bigger than a name change. The GLC represents a departure from its ancestor – the G-Class - and adds more comfort and better on-road capabilities.
The interior has been reworked and now offers a better atmosphere, which is a brand hallmark, courtesy of high-class materials, such as nappa leather or open-pore wood trim. Also, there is substantially more luggage space in the trunk. A large panoramic glass roof is optionally offered to enhance the light and improve the airy feel.
All models comply with the EU6 emissions as standard. With the GLC 350 e 4MATIC, Mercedes-Benz is offering a plug-in hybrid that combines the merits of all-wheel-drive with the lowest fuel consumption. Its performance is not affected since it can reach a top speed of 235 kph (146 mph) with a best-in-class system output of 320 hp.
The semi-electric vehicle has a range of 35 km (21 miles) in zero-emission all-electric mode, accelerating from 0 to 100 kph (0-62 mph) in 5.9 seconds if necessary, courtesy of the boost function. Like its plug-in big brother, the S-Class, the GLC 350 e 4MATIC offers all the characteristic comfort and efficiency systems found on the regular GLC.
