Mercedes-Benz AG’s revamped GLC plug-in hybrid will go twice as far in electric-only mode as its predecessor to keep pace with increasingly stringent regulations on tailpipe emissions.
The new version of Mercedes’s best-selling model can cover a distance of more than 100 kilometers (62 miles) on just the battery, the company announced Wednesday. The sport utility vehicle will only be offered as a mild or plug-in hybrid, helping the German manufacturer meet European Union emissions targets while still delivering plenty of high-end gas burners such as the G-Wagon.
