Performance Specifications of the 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC SUV

2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC SUV Performance Features 

Engine Options and Horsepower: The standard 2.0-liter inline-4 turbocharged engine delivers 255 horsepower. Torque peaks at 295 lb.-ft. A 48-volt mild hybrid system adds electric assistance during acceleration. This EQ Boost system contributes up to 23 horsepower and 148 lb.-ft. of torque when needed. Despite power enhancements, efficiency remains strong. The engine uses direct injection and a twin-scroll turbocharger. Additionally, aluminum components reduce weight while maintaining durability. Engine response feels instant, yet composed. 

Acceleration and Top Speed: Speed feels effortless in the 2025 GLC. It accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in just 6.2 seconds. Top speed reaches 130 mph electronically limited. Because of the electric boost, acceleration surges without delay. Quick merges and passing moves require little effort. Meanwhile, stability at speed remains superb. As a result, this SUV excels during both short sprints and highway drives. Performance never overshadows comfort—both coexist. 

Transmission and Drivetrain: Every GLC model uses a 9G-TRONIC 9-speed automatic transmission. Shifts stay crisp and almost imperceptible. Gear transitions adjust to throttle input, terrain, and mode selection. Rear-wheel drive comes standard. However, the 4MATIC® all-wheel drive system increases grip and balance. Torque distribution adjusts in real time. So, the GLC handles sharp corners, wet roads, and steep hills with ease. Drive remains steady even under pressure. 

Drive Modes and Performance Tech: Mercedes-Benz DYNAMIC SELECT adds multiple drive modes. Choose from ECO, Comfort, Sport, and Individual. Each alters throttle, shift timing, and steering feedback. Sport increases response, while ECO prioritizes efficiency. Comfort keeps rides balanced. Individual lets drivers configure preferences. Moreover, available AIRMATIC® air suspension further smooths uneven surfaces. Sensors adjust damping up to 1000 times per second. Even gravel feels like pavement.
