Summary

The Mercedes-Benz GLC 350 e 4MATIC (2017) is rated for fast performance (6.6s 0-100 km/h) and large torque (560 Nm) thanks to the Plug-in Hybrid system. It offers high quality construction and 4x4 traction. The main disadvantages are the high maintenance cost of the hybrid system, the heavy weight (1950 kg), and the reduced luggage due to the battery. For early GLC PHEV models, reported problems include software/electronics faults (turning on the control lights), 3G connectivity errors (for My Mercedes me functions), and service problems (labeling the car as' Lemon ').
