The four engines have a mild-hybrid system with 48 volts and an integrated starter generator, with an added electro boost of 23 CV.
The plug-in hybrids have gasoline engines with 313 and 381 hp, and also a diesel with 335 hp. In both cases, the electric autonomy is around 100 kilometers, with a 31.2 kWh battery, larger than the previous one, therefore. And it can be charged with a maximum continuous current of 60 kW. Unlike the C-Class, the Mercedes GLC has air suspension available, along with rear-axle steering. The plug-in hybrids carry it as standard, as well as regulation of the height of the bodywork. Combustion models weigh two tons, hybrids go up to 2.4. They’re not exactly light, but they ride very comfortably, are well insulated and generally manageable and even more agile than before.
