Mercedes has unveiled the new edition of its flagship GLC SUV, which the company says could operate exclusively on its electric drive for most daily trips.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Mercedes says that all variants of the new GLC hybrid model will come with a 100-kilometer electric range that would provide enough range to cover most daily commutes without the need to engage its petrol or diesel engine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“Using the identical basic engines, electrification has taken another big step. With an electric output of now 100 kW, a torque of 440 Nm and an all-electric range of more than 100 kilometers (WLTP), day-to-day routes can mostly be managed all electrically, \u201dMercedes says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The new GLC will provide greater priority to operating on its 245kW electric motor, including an \u201cimproved hybrid driving mode\u201d that optimizes the use of its electric motor during longer trips.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The GLC’s electric motor will provide up to 440 Nm of peak torque, and can be engaged for speeds of up to 140 km \/ h.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThe improved hybrid driving mode provides electric driving mode for the most appropriate sections of the route,\u201d Mercedes says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cElectric driving is prioritized on longer journeys in urban areas, for example. Whether with one of the two petrol engines or the diesel: as plug-in hybrids, they are not only very efficient but also extremely dynamic on the road. “<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The GLC will come with a 31.2 kWh battery, which it says can be fully charged with a 60kW DC charger in around 30-minutes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It marks a doubling of the GLC’s electric range, with the previous edition of the hybrid GLC offering just 43km of all-electric driving.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Australian prices for the new hybrid GLC have yet to be released but are expected to come in at upwards of $ 90,000 for the base model.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
