World reviews the Mercedes GLC 350e hybrid, designed to be efficient and
sporty. The GLC 350 is fast and refined to perfection, with impressive Co2
emissions and fuel economy. With its elegant exterior and broad engine choices,
it's expected to outsell its obvious competitors.
Efficient
The GLC hybrid is capable of driving around 20 miles on
battery power alone, and it can be charged from empty to full on a Level 2
charger in under two hours. If you are able to charge regularly and your
commute is less than 21 miles, you could effectively never fill the 350e with
unleaded fuel. It is quoted to produce economy of 109mpg, and just 60g/km of
CO2.
On the road
The GLC 350e is a plug-in hybrid that is equipped with an
85kW electric motor which works in tandem with the 2.0 turbo. It has a combined
power output of 235kW which can pull the SUV from rest to 62mph in just 5.9
seconds, topping out at 146mph. When you really step on the gas this motor
bursts into life; the instant torque is immediately noticeable and it offers
impressive straight-line speed. The GLC 350e also uses a seven-speed automatic
transmission, enabling smoother gear shifting.
Driving modes
The plug-in GLC offers up a variety of extra driving modes,
including an electric mode, a hybrid mode and a charge mode that uses the
engine to charge the battery while driving. The GLC 350e drives equally as well
as the petrol and diesel versions, motoring along without drama on electricity,
and seamlessly switching to the engine when needed.
Hybrid mode
In hybrid mode the four-cylinder petrol engine combines with
the electric motor to make the car even more efficient and just as quick. When
you ease off the accelerator the two disengage, which generates more energy for
the battery, but the pair couple up again to produce a sharp burst of
acceleration when overtaking slow moving traffic.
