Under the Mercedes-Benz New Vehicle Limited Warranty, the high-voltage battery in a plug-in hybrid is covered for at least 6 years or 62,000 miles, whichever comes first. In California — along with CT, MA, MD, ME, NJ, NY, RI and VT — that coverage is extended to 10 years or 150,000 miles. Because Mercedes-Benz of El Cajon sells in California, GLC 350e buyers here receive the extended 10-year/150,000-mile battery coverage.
