Displacement: 1,999 cc
The 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLC (X254) continues as a cornerstone of the luxury compact SUV market in Pakistan. The standard GLC 300 and the flagship GLC 350e Plug-in Hybrid are both powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. This M254 engine features NANOSLIDE cylinder wall technology to reduce friction and improve longevity. In the Pakistani market, this displacement is highly favored as it balances premium performance with a more manageable tax bracket compared to larger engines.
Max Power: 255 hp (GLC 300) / 313 hp (GLC 350e)
The GLC offers two distinct tiers of power. The GLC 300 produces 255 hp at 5,800 rpm, supplemented by a 48V integrated starter-generator (ISG) that provides a momentary boost of 23 hp. The GLC 350e PHEV, which is increasingly popular in Pakistan for its fuel versatility, delivers a combined system output of 313 hp. This ensures that the vehicle remains agile whether navigating the congested streets of Karachi or cruising on the M-2 Motorway.
Max Torque: 400 Nm (GLC 300) / 550 Nm (GLC 350e)
Torque is substantial across the range, with the GLC 300 providing 400 Nm. The GLC 350e takes this further with a combined 550 Nm of torque. The electric motor in the hybrid variant provides nearly instant torque from a standstill, allowing the SUV to pull away with a level of silence and smoothness that mimics fully electric vehicles.
