Verdict
The RM69,000 step from the Mercedes-Benz GLC GLC200 AMG Line to the Mercedes-Benz GLC GLC 350e 4Matic AMG Line buys a 25.4 kWh plug-in hybrid battery, 131 km of EV range and a quicker 6.7-second 0-100 km/h time. The base car is no poverty pick: it has the same 1,999 cc engine size, 201 hp, 320 Nm, all-wheel drive, 620-litre boot, seven airbags and four-year warranty. If you cannot use the electric range regularly, the GLC200 keeps a lot of the substance for much less.
