Additionally, we offer an overview of the full specifications, an image gallery, detailed information about charging performance, and some online reviews. Our sections include:

Performance

The Mercedes GLC 400 4Matic delivers a solid performance with a maximum power of 360 kW (490 hp / 483 bhp) and a total torque of 700 Nm (517 lb-ft). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 4.3 seconds and reaches a top speed of 210 km/h (131 mph), making it competitive within its class.

Battery, Range, and Charging

The high-capacity battery has a gross capacity of 100.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 94.0 kWh, providing a 6.0 kWh buffer (6.0%) for battery protection.

This Lithium-Ion battery utilizes NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) technology.

Under the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle's range varies between 713 to 570 km (443-354 miles), depending on the specific configuration and options, such as wheel size. Larger wheels can increase energy consumption and subsequently reduce the overall range.

The vehicle's energy consumption is rated at 13.2 kWh/100 km for the base model and 16.5 kWh/100 km for the top-tier model under the WLTP test cycle.

For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.

The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 330 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 47 minutes, while a typical 10% to 80% charge takes about 20 minutes with an average charging speed of 199 kW.

Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 4% to 58%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 180 kW, with each charging session taking about 17 minutes and 53 seconds.

This efficient charging capability makes the Mercedes GLC 400 4Matic a convenient option for long-distance travel.

In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 22 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 9 hours and 2 minutes, needing three charging stops from 5% to 50%, totaling 43 minutes of charging time.

Onboard Charger

The standard onboard charger supports up to 11 kW for Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging, allowing a full 0–100% charge in about 8 hours and 32 minutes with a standard home setup.

An optional 22 kW onboard charger reduces the full charge time to approximately 4 hours and 16 minutes.

Charge Port

The charge port is located on the left rear side, making it easy to use charge stations where you need to back up into the charger.

The connector types vary between different markets. This model uses NACS for North America and CCS Combo 2 for Europe. For complete specifications for all markets, refer to the full specifications.

INDIVIDUAL: Custom steering, suspension damping, and throttle.

Brakes

The Mercedes GLC 400 4Matic is equipped with cast-iron disc brakes on both the front and rear.

Regenerative Braking

The regenerative braking system in this model offers several modes to enhance efficiency and driving experience. The most efficient option is the Automatic Regeneration Mode, where the vehicle coasts when possible and employs regenerative braking to reduce speed as needed.

Manual regeneration is another mode, where regenerative braking is controlled by pressing the brake pedal. The brake system blends in physical brakes only when necessary.

Another option is the Regen on Accelerator Pedal mode where regenerative braking is activated when the driver eases off the accelerator pedal. This system allows the vehicle to slow down and recover energy without the driver needing to press the brake pedal, a feature often referred to as one-pedal driving.

You can choose between two stopping modes for one-pedal driving. Hold mode brings the vehicle to a complete stop using friction brakes, and Roll mode allows the vehicle to roll until it stops naturally.

Drivers can also adjust the regenerative braking strength when lifting off the accelerator. There are two levels of regenerative braking to choose from, allowing you to customize the driving experience to your preference.

The maximum regenerative power is 300 kW.
