The All-New 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLC 350e 4MATIC Plug-In Hybrid
The 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLC 350e 4MATIC Plug-In Hybrid is for drivers who want meaningful electrification without compromise. It delivers the refinement, comfort, and technology expected of a Mercedes-Benz SUV while offering one of the longest all-electric ranges among plug-in hybrids in Canada.
With an EPA-rated 87 kilometres of electric range, daily commutes, errands, and school drop-offs can often be completed without using fuel. Drivers with home or workplace charging can experience ownership similar to a full EV, with a gasoline engine available for longer trips.
What Makes the GLC 350e Different
The GLC 350e stands apart from other plug-in hybrids. It offers real-world electric usability, not just compliance figures:
- Drive entirely on electric power at highway speeds.
- Travel up to 140 km/h without engaging the gasoline engine.
- Seamlessly transition to hybrid operation on longer trips.
In the Lower Mainland, this means fuel stops become occasional, not routine.
Powertrain & Performance
At the heart of the GLC 350e is a sophisticated plug-in hybrid system that balances efficiency and effortless performance:
- 2.0-litre turbocharged inline-4 engine
- High-output electric motor
- 313 horsepower combined
- 406 lb-ft of combined torque
- 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission
- Standard 4MATIC all-wheel drive
Experience acceleration from 0–100 km/h in just 6.7 seconds, ensuring confident merging and passing while enjoying near-silent operation around town.
Electric Driving & Real-World Range
A 24.8 kWh high-voltage battery provides an EPA-estimated 87 km of electric range, among the top in its class. In everyday use:
- Most daily commutes fall well within electric range
- Urban driving can often be completed entirely on electricity
- Drivers with workplace charging may go days without refueling
Drive modes—Electric, Hybrid, Battery Level—allow energy management. A haptic accelerator pedal gives subtle feedback when additional pressure engages the gasoline engine.
Charging the GLC 350e: Level 2 vs. Level 3 Explained
Level 2 Charging (home & work)
- Maximum AC rate: 9.6 kW
- Typical charge time: 2.5–3 hours
Optional Level 3 DC Fast Charging
- Maximum DC rate: up to 60 kW
- Charge time (10–80%): under 30 minutes
- Level 3 adds flexibility for longer trips or unexpected schedule changes.
Interior Technology & MBUX
The GLC 350e features the latest generation of Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX), designed to be intuitive and customizable:
- High-resolution central touchscreen
- Advanced voice control with “Just Talk” functionality
- Driver profiles that store preferences
- Available augmented-reality navigation
The system can even learn routines — such as adjusting seat heating or climate controls automatically based on time of day or outside temperature.
Safety & Driver Assistance
Available driver-assistance features reduce fatigue in traffic and on longer drives:
- Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC
- Active Steering Assist
- Active Lane Change Assist
- Evasive Steering Assist
- PRE-SAFE® safety systems
Equipped systems provide Level 2 driver assistance where applicable.
Pricing, Value & Ownership
MSRP perspective
- GLC 300: ~$60,450
- GLC 350e: ~$66,900
Among Lower Mainland drivers, typical savings of $150–$250 per month in fuel costs can often offset the lease difference when compared to the GLC 300.

The GLC 350e is particularly well-suited for drivers who:
- Want to reduce fuel costs without committing fully to an EV
- Have access to home or workplace charging
- Value luxury, refinement, and advanced technology
