2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class SUV Trims Comparison

• GLC 300: turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (255 horsepower, 295 lb-ft of torque).
• GLC 350e: plug-in hybrid version of the turbo four-cylinder (313 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque; estimated all-electric range of 54 miles)
• AMG GLC 43: high-performance version of the four-cylinder engine (416 hp, 369 lb-ft)

Each one comes with a nine-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive is standard for the GLC 300, and all-wheel drive (4Matic) is optional. The GLC 350e and AMG GLC 43 come standard with all-wheel drive.

Technically, the new AMG GLC 63 S is also a plug-in hybrid. But it deploys its hybrid tech for maximum performance, not fuel economy. Mercedes says maximum output is 671 hp and 752 lb-ft of torque. A nine-speed automatic and AWD are again standard.
