The new Mercedes-Benz GLC - The drives - 100 percent hybrid

The new GLC consistently relies on hybrid drive and thus standards in efficiency. The model range includes four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines combined with an electric motor. An integrated starter generator (ISG) of the second generation is used for the mild hybrid units, and for the plug-in hybrids (market launch around December 2022), with a system output of up to 280 kW (381 hp) and a system torque of up to to 750 Nm, a permanently excited 100 kW synchronous machine. All plug-in hybrids have an electric range of more than 100 kilometers (WLTP). This means that most everyday routes can be covered purely electrically. The improved hybrid driving program provides the electric driving mode for the most sensible sections of the route. For example, electric driving is given priority on routes in urban areas. But thanks to a new off-road program, the GLC can also drive purely electrically on rough terrain
