Power and Performance
Under its hood, the five-passenger 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 boasts a sophisticated powertrain, the core of which is a 2.0-liter inline-4 turbocharged engine with mild hybrid drive. Paired with a 9G-TRONIC® nine-speed automatic transmission and either standard rear-wheel drive (RWD) or available 4MATIC® AWD/all-wheel drive, this powertrain achieves 255 horsepower, 295 lb-ft of torque, and a 0-60 time of 5.9 seconds.
The mild hybrid drive feature plays an important role in this new Mercedes-Benz SUV . Paired with a 48-volt lithium-ion battery, it not only helps the entire powertrain to run more smoothly, but it can also provide gas-free power and torque of up to 23 horsepower and 148 lb-ft when rapid acceleration is needed.
