There’s something exhilarating about driving a vehicle that doesn’t just respond—it anticipates.

Two Ways to Electrify Your Drive
For those craving extra efficiency without giving up that punchy Mercedes-Benz feel, the GLC 350e 4MATIC Plug-In Hybrid is the way to go. With a combined output of 313 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque, this SUV balances electric serenity with turbo-powered muscle. You can cruise through up to 87 km of gas-free driving—perfect for daily city life. But when the open road calls, the turbo-four kicks in seamlessly for spirited acceleration, doing 0–100 km/h in just 6.7 seconds. It’s an impressive mix of clean energy and raw capability.
Handles Like a Dream, Rides Like a Cloud
Performance isn’t just about speed. It’s about control, comfort, and confidence—and the GLC delivers all three. Its four-wheel independent multilink suspension system is engineered to glide over tarmac and tackle uneven terrain with ease. Mercedes-Benz didn’t just throw in a rugged chassis and call it a day. They gave the GLC a self-leveling suspension (standard on the 350e) that keeps your ride balanced and buttery smooth, even with cargo or extra passengers.
All-Wheel Confidence, All Year Round
Canadian winters can be brutal, but the standard 4MATIC all-wheel drive on both GLC models has your back. It continuously adapts to changing road conditions by redistributing torque between the front and rear wheels—maximizing grip whether you're cruising on dry pavement or navigating snow-packed roads. This isn’t just AWD—it’s Mercedes-level AWD that turns unpredictable roads into playgrounds.
Fine-Tuned for Every Mood
The GLC doesn’t just drive. It adapts. Thanks to DYNAMIC SELECT, you can change your entire driving experience with one tap. If you want to save fuel, go ECO. If you want to feel sporty, switch to SPORT. If you need traction on dirt or gravel, OFFROAD mode’s got you. If you want to mix and match, there's even an INDIVIDUAL mode where you can dial in your own preferences. The GLC 350e adds extra hybrid modes to optimize battery use depending on where you’re headed and how you're driving.
