In addition to the new E-Class, Mercedes-Benz Malaysia today also introduced the GLC 350e 4MATIC, which is essentially the plug-in hybrid version of the GLC.
Powered by a 1,999 cc four-cylinder petrol engine, it delivers an output of 204 hp at 6,100 rpm, with a maximum 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 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.
On the exterior, the GLC 350e 4MATIC is instantly recognisable as part of the Mercedes-Benz SUV family. The expressive AMG Line design enhances its sporty and exclusive appearance. 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.
Inside the cabin, , the GLC 350 e 4MATIC is equipped with the AMG Line interior, combining sportiness and luxury. Key elements include black ARTICO man-made leather upholstery, MICROCUT microfiber, AMG sports pedals, and a multifunction sports steering wheel in nappa leather with a distinctive flattened bottom section.
The new GLC comes with the MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) infotainment system, featuring MBUX Navigation Premium and Augmented Reality for enhanced route guidance. For an immersive audio experience, the Burmester® 3D surround sound system with 15 high-performance speakers ensures exceptional sound quality tailored to the interior.
With an expanded luggage capacity of 490 litres, the new GLC offers practical space for everyday needs. Additionally, the Parking Package with a 360-degree camera and Active Parking Assist with PARKTRONIC provides optimal visibility and ease during parking manoeuvres.
With up to 131 km of electric range (WLTP), drivers can enjoy smooth and quiet city journeys while having the power and versatility for longer distances when needed.
