Compare 2026 vs 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC

Performance

Both model years for the GLC 300 are powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four engine, which creates 255 horsepower. Rear-wheel drive is standard, and 4MATIC® all-wheel drive is available. 2025 saw the reintroduction of a plug-in hybrid GLC model, which remains available for 2026. This model, known as the GLC 350e 4MATIC®, offers an EPA-estimated all-electric range of up to 54 miles. It features a turbocharged 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine that’s paired with an electric motor. Together, they create 313 horsepower.

Appearance

The gorgeous styling of the 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC carries forward to the 2026 model year without change. The GLC has a sophisticated presence with a tall, rounded profile and modest definition angled across the hood. The chrome-outlined grille has round sides and a thick, horizontal crossbar. The lower fascia is also outlined with a chrome element. Both the air inlets and LED headlights are angled for an athletic touch. The sides of the GLC are flawlessly surfaced and show off a chrome bar on the lower perimeter of the doors.

Features

Inside, the 2026 and 2025 GLC are comparable in most areas. However, the 2026 GLC now comes with driver profiles and an integrated streaming music service. For both years, the entry-level trim comes with a power liftgate, a wireless charging pad, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a dual-zone auto climate control system, synthetic leather upholstery, an 11.9-inch MBUX infotainment system screen, and so much more.
