Mercedes-Benz GLC Class GLC350e RV-SUV Cars
The Mercedes-Benz GLC Class GLC350e RV-SUV is a hybrid vehicle that combines the luxury and performance of the brand with the efficiency of an electric motor. It's ideal for New Zealand's driving conditions, including city driving, long distance cruising and tackling challenging terrain.
One of the most notable features of this SUV is its plug-in hybrid drivetrain which consists of a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine combined with an electric motor powered by a lithium-ion battery pack. This combination delivers a total output of 315 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque, making it powerful enough to reach 100km/h in just 5.7 seconds.
The GLC350e also features all-wheel drive, providing excellent traction on slippery roads or rugged terrain often found in New Zealand’s rural areas.
Fuel efficiency is also impressive as this vehicle can travel up to 32 kilometers solely on electric power, reducing emissions and conserving fuel when driven within the city limits. On longer trips outside the city, it has an extended range provided by its gasoline-powered engine, delivering maximum fuel economy thanks to a sophisticated ECO Start/Stop system that allows it to run more efficiently when cruising on open highways.
In terms of comfort and safety features, this SUV doesn't disappoint either. With leather seats as standard across all trims (excluding optional AMG trims), and a well-appointed cabin offering ample space for five adults or plenty of luggage space if required - important considerations for those exploring NZ’s scenic routes.
A variety of safety technologies also comes standard with all models in the lineup. For example: adaptive cruise control will make sure you keep your distance from other drivers while lane keeping assist will ensure you don't stray out of your lane during long-distance driving periods when concentration levels may not be at their best.
Overall, The Mercedes-Benz GLC Class GLC350e RV-SUV is an exceptional choice for buyers looking for a luxurious SUV capable of both tackling tough terrains while conserving fuel costs at times when emissions reductions are top-of-mind in cities like Auckland.
