What's New for 2025?

The 2025 GLC SUV receives improved voice controls and AI features like language recognition for the Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) system. The new plug-in hybrid system delivers more power without demanding more fuel. It provides an additional 134 horsepower and 325 lb.-ft of torque to assist the turbocharged engine, while drastically increasing fuel economy. Subtle design changes, like a sleeker grille and front headlights, give 2025 GLC trims a more modern look compared to previous model years.

Real-World Performance

One of the biggest focuses for every Mercedes-Benz model is performance, and the GLC SUV is no different. Both engine options for 2025 are hybrid utilizing the same 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine. The GLC 300 is a 48-volt mild hybrid that adds 23 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque to deliver a combined 255 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. The GLC 350e is a plug-in hybrid model, that produces up to 313 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque for an elite driving experience. The GLC 300 can be had with either rear or all-wheel drive, while the GLC 350e comes exclusively with 4MATIC all-wheel drive.

Beyond propulsion, the GLC SUV features advanced multi-link suspension that creates a sporty driving experience, and for those who spring for the 350e model, self-leveling suspension brings even more comfort. The GLC uses a 9-speed automatic transmission for a smooth ride that maximizes throttle response and efficiency. DYNAMIC SELECT drive modes give you the power to tailor the response of the GLC to your preferences and the driving conditions around you. With up to 8 drive modes, the GLC is an adaptive SUV for almost anyone.
