Are There Mercedes-Benz Hybrid Models?

Mercedes-Benz is best-known for creating luxurious touring experiences with vehicles that offer the pinnacle of gas and diesel-based engineering. However, if you’re in the market for a Mercedes-Benz hybrid, you should know that the lineup currently includes one plug-in hybrid model, and that more are on the way. Take a closer look at your options below!

Introducing the 2020 GLC 350e 4MATIC® SUV

Everyone’s favorite Mercedes-Benz hybrid SUV is returning with even more to offer! The 2020 GLC 350e 4MATIC® Plug-in Hybrid starts at $51,900 MSRP*, and it’s 0-60 acceleration time has jumped more than half a second in the new year, from 6.2 to 5.6. Take a look at some of its standout features:

• 4MATIC® all-wheel drive 
• Radar-based Regenerative Braking System and Haptic accelerator pedal
• 4-mode drive selector (HYBRID, all-electric E-MODE, E-SAVE, and CHARGE settings)
• PRESAFE®, ATTENTION ASSIST®, and Blind Spot Assist with Exit Warning Assist
• A 10.25-inch touchscreen multimedia display
• MBUX with Voice Control and Natural Language Understanding
• Power-adjustable, heated front seats with memory
• Power liftgate with available HANDS-FREE ACCESS®

The combination of the 2.0-liter Inline 4-Cylinder engine and the 90kW electric motor allows this SUV to deliver up to 315 hp and 516 lb-ft, without compromising on efficiency. We don’t yet have precise fuel economy specs for 2020, but in 2019, this model offered an EPA-estimated 56 MPGe and a total gas-electric range of more than 350 miles.

Mercedes-Benz Hybrid Technology

What kind of technology is behind the success of this new Mercedes-Benz hybrid SUV? You may have noticed that the 2020 GLCe 350 4MATIC® is a plug-in hybrid model, which means that it contains both a gas tank and an electric car battery that you’ll have to keep charged. This approach to hybrid vehicles provides the maximum in convenience and flexibility:

• Making a short commute? Switch to all-electric power and drive without any gas consumption.
• Taking a long journey? Even if you plan a route without charging stations, you can rely on gas or gas/electric power to get you where you need to go.
• Don’t have time to charge? As long as you have some gasoline in your tank, you can travel through Beachwood and Mayfield with confidence.

Mercedes-Benz has announced plans to dramatically increase the number of plug-in hybrid models they offer by the end of 2020.
