New GLC350e
Just took possesion of a brand new GLC350e
I believe its one of the first ones in Canada
The fuel economy is great but I wish the Electric Range was higher

also... is the nav 8.4" or 10.25? online configurator on mbusa shows the wider screen but lists 8.4" which is the same size as the more square one

My best trip yet gave me 5.5 l/100 km but that was with no traffic and motor can recharge the battery on the go but if find that to mess up the fuel economy cause it means that the engine has to waste energy into recharging the battery you can also save the charge for later or charge the battery on demand.

The motor does charge the battery a little, when braking or cruising downhill, but also via one of the settings (which charges the battery while driving on the petrol engine, really hurts your fuel economy though!).

I have one since April, I can get below 2.5 L/100Km with mostly home-work driving (plugging in at both places), or about 4.0 L/100K with mixed driving, and 7.2 L/100K with mostly high-way driving. I regularly get >1200K between fueling (<45L, the 350e has a small fuel tank). I get 20-23K on the battery during winter, up to (almost) 30 in spring (but a few K less in summer, AC & stuff...)

Cause I read that the European version also has a longer range (34km compared to the 21km we get in Canada)

In Europe.The 34K is only advertising; occasionally the car's system would report a range above 31-32K but that is never reached in reality. 30-31K max and only in ideal circumstances (daylight, not too cold/hot,...). I'm sure 350Es have the same range worldwide but the range is heavily influenced by driving style and circumstances.

It could be the same battery but the range is no way near.... the best I've had from 100% charge is 21km before it drops to 10%battery and the car turns on the engine, its the same with the fuel economy i dont know what it is but the european models get way better fuel economy and range

I hope you are right though *fingers crossed* btw that range was on a nice warm day (for winter ofc) approx 8 degrees Celsius.
