Mercedes-Benz Australia has added another plug-in hybrid to its local line-up, unveiling the GLC 350 e 4MATIC SUV, on sale from 3 September 2025 priced from $99,900 (MRLP).

The new variant joins the GLA 250 e and C 350 e introduced earlier this year, extending EQ hybrid technology across more of the brand’s most popular models.

The GLC 350 e combines a four-cylinder petrol engine with an electric motor for a total system output of 230 kW and 550 Nm. It can travel up to 132 km (NEDC) on electric power alone and reach 140 km/h without using petrol. Three driving modes – Electric, Battery Level and Hybrid – are accessible via DYNAMIC SELECT, while a haptic accelerator pedal guides efficient transitions between power sources.
