Record summary
What to know first
A distinct all-electric GLC on Mercedes' new 800-volt platform, sold alongside the gas/PHEV GLC-Class, not replacing it. GLC 300+ is single-motor RWD at 369 hp; GLC 400 4MATIC is dual-motor AWD at 483 hp with a real 5,291 lb tow rating, properly equipped. Preliminary estimates put range over 400 miles on the European test cycle.
Model-year note
Mercedes rates the GLC 400 4MATIC to tow up to 5,291 lb with the optional trailer hitch, more than the gas GLC's 3,500 lb. No tow rating is published for the single-motor GLC 300+. This all-electric nameplate reuses GLC but is separate from the gas and plug-in-hybrid GLC-Class. It has no EPA certification yet, so its figures are manufacturer-published pre-launch specs rather than EPA-confirmed. AIRMATIC adaptive suspension is standard on both trims.
