Summary

The Mercedes-Benz GLC 400 e 4MATIC (2024) is praised by experts for its sporty performance (5.7s 0-100 km/h) and high torque (650 Nm) approaching AMG models, combined with a record electric range (128 km WLTP). The new model (X254) offers a luxurious and technology-focused cabin (MBUX). The main weaknesses are the very high weight of the car (2250 kg) due to the battery, which affects the quick feel in corners, the very high maintenance costs of the hybrid system and the common problems reported with X254 models such as the 9G-TRONIC transmission jolts at low speeds and electrical/software problems of the MBUX system.
