A redesigned GLC touched down for the 2023 model year, and Mercedes-Benz has been busy filling out the model line ever since, with the fastback GLC Coupe and AMG high-performance models. Things are getting really wild in the GLC house for 2025, with the new plug-in hybrid GLC350e and the AMG GLC63 S E Performance. All 2025 GLCs also benefit from more standard equipment, including a third-generation infotainment interface, digital key capability that allows owners to use their phone as a vehicle key, and a center airbag between front-seat occupants. For 2025, the Mercedes GLC starts at $50,400 for the SUV and $60,450 for the Coupe (all prices include the $1,150 destination charge).

What Are the 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC’s Trim Levels?
From the get-go, the GLC is equipped with the lengthy list of features one might expect of a Mercedes-Benz. Standard equipment on the GLC300 includes 18-inch wheels, a power liftgate, and keyless entry and start. The cabin is upholstered in synthetic leather and boasts power-adjustable and heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control and 64-color ambient lighting. The standard tech suite consists of wireless phone charging, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, and an 11.9-inch touchscreen with voice control and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Beyond all-wheel drive, the GLC300 4Matic SUV includes no additional content, but the GLC300 4Matic Coupe gains a panoramic moonroof, 19-inch wheels and navigation. The PHEV GLC350e also includes navigation.
GLC SUV buyers get the standard panoramic moonroof in the AMG 43, which in both body styles also includes an adaptive sport suspension with rear-wheel steering and 20-inch wheels, upgraded brakes, synthetic-suede seat trim and a heated steering wheel. In addition to its stratospheric output, the AMG 63 upgrades the GLC Coupe and SUV with dynamic engine mounts and even heartier braking hardware.
The non-AMG SUV can be upgraded with two optional trim packages, Exclusive and Pinnacle. Only the Pinnacle is available on the coupe and AMG models due to their greater standard content. In configurations where the features are not already standard, the Exclusive includes navigation, 15-speaker Burmester 3D audio, a 360-degree camera system, upgraded ambient lighting and a security system. The Pinnacle builds on that with upgraded headlights and a head-up display with augmented reality navigation.
The GLC’s standard safety suite is mostly consistent regardless of what powertrain buyers choose. It includes forward collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitors, automated parking and a driver attention monitor. Coupe and AMG models also include a 360-degree camera system.
The Driver Assistance Package is available for all GLCs and adds adaptive cruise control, blind spot intervention, front cross-traffic alert, lane-centering steering, lane change assist and emergency steering assist.
What Are the 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC’s Powertrain Specs and MPG?
The GLC is available with a wide variety of engines, all of which are backed by a nine-speed automatic transmission. The entry-level GLC300 SUV is the only configuration with rear-wheel drive; the rest of the lineup has Mercedes’ 4Matic AWD standard.
The GLC300 is powered by a 255-horsepower, turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 295 pounds-feet of torque. With RWD, it returns an EPA-rated 23/31/26 mpg city/highway/combined; the 4Matic gets 23/31/26 mpg.
The GLC350e supplements the turbo 2.0-liter with a potent electric motor, raising total system output to 313 hp and 406 pounds-feet. Its 23.3-kilowatt-hour battery provides up to 54 miles of electric range. With the gas engine running, it returns an EPA-rated 64 mpg combined.
In the AMG GLC43, the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder gains an additional electrically driven turbocharger, cranking output to 416 hp and 369 pounds-feet. Whereas the non-AMG GLCs all need about 6 seconds to accelerate from 0-60, the AMG 43 can get there in just 4.7 seconds. In SUV form, it gets 19/25/21 mpg; the coupe is rated at 18/24/21 mpg.
Take the AMG 43 and add a 201-hp electric motor to the rear axle and you’ve got the AMG63 S E Performance and a total of 671 hp and 752 pounds-feet. Its 6.1-kWh battery is only good for a mile or so of electric travel, but the AMG63 is rated at 31 mpg combined and needs only 3.5 seconds to accelerate to 60 mph.
