The engine in the GLC 200 4Matic is 201 hp. (150 kW / 204 PS) and 236 pound-feet (320 Nm) of torque, as well as the amplifier. GLC 220 d 4MATIC 194 hp. (145 kW / 197 PS) and 325 pound-feet (440 Nm) of torque, as well as additional torque gain. And the GLC 300 255 hp. (190 kW / 258 horsepower) and 290 pound-feet (400 Nm) of torque, as well as the gain.
Connected hybrid powertrains have four-cylinder engines that use Mercedes’ fourth-generation PHEV drive technology. The system is more compact and powerful than before and can move the GLC at a speed of 87 miles (140 km / h). And the 31.2 kWh battery pack means that the SUV can travel up to 62 miles (100 km) on electric power alone. So far, the GLC has 134 hp. (100 kW / 136 PS) and an electric motor capable of delivering up to 325 pound-feet (440 Nm) of torque is a great advantage for the vehicle.
In the GLC 300 e 4MATIC system, this is 308 hp. (230 kW / 313 PS) and 406 pound-feet (550 Nm) of torque represent the output of the system. In the GLC 400 e 4MATIC it is rated at 375 hp. (280 kW / 381 PS) and 479 pound-feet (650 Nm) of torque; and finally, the GLC 300 de 4MATIC 328 hp. (245/335 PS) and 553 pound feet (750 Nm) are good for torque.
Fuel economy figures, but it’s a battery, stupid!
According to the European WLTP test cycle, SUVs, in particular hybrids, are very fuel efficient. The GLC 200 and 300 return 8.2 l / 100 km in cities and 7.3 (29/32 miles) on highways, while the GLC 220 d WLTP returns 5.9 l / 100 km on city roads (40/45 miles / g). ) a little better. cycle.
The hybrid GLC 300 e and 400 e have a top speed of 0.8 l / 100 km in the city and 0.6 l / 100 km on the highway (294/392 miles / g, respectively) and a diesel GLC 300 de. 0.7 l / 100 km and 0.5 l / 100 km on the highway (equivalent to 336/470 miles / g). That’s not a mistake, Mercedes says. However, during the WLTP test, there is a very reasonable explanation that has nothing to do with the diesel engine itself, such as a large battery that allows the SUV to run without consuming any fossil fuels.
Higher-powered versions of AMG SUVs are expected to hit all markets by the end of the year, which may be based on the mechanically connected C43 and the upcoming C63 AMG sedans.
