The 2025 Mercedes-Benz SUV lineup offers a compelling blend of performance, refinement, and versatility—especially for those who require towing capability without compromising comfort or advanced technology. Whether you're hauling a camper to Muskoka, transporting recreational equipment around Brampton, or simply need the confidence of additional trailering strength, Mercedes-Benz provides options ranging from mild hybrids to electrified AMG performance models. This guide breaks down the towing capacity of each SUV in the lineup, including the latest updates and new trims for 2025.
The 2025 GLC lineup has expanded significantly, introducing new plug-in hybrid and high-performance AMG models while continuing to offer strong everyday utility. The GLC 300 4MATIC, with a revised towing capacity of 1,588 kg, is equipped with a 2.0-litre turbocharged inline-four engine and mild hybrid technology, striking a balance between efficiency and usable towing power.
New to the lineup is the GLC 350e PHEV, which leads the segment in electric driving range with over 80 km. Although official towing specs are not yet confirmed, estimates place it between 1,588 kg and 1,800 kg. Performance-focused options include the AMG GLC 43, now rated at 1,588 kg with 416 horsepower, and the AMG GLC 63 S E Performance, which brings a 671-horsepower plug-in hybrid powertrain and increases towing capacity to 1,800 kg. Coupé variants across the GLC range mirror the towing capacities of their SUV counterparts.
The GLE offers one of the most comprehensive lineups in the Mercedes-Benz SUV family, and it excels in towing capability across nearly all trims. Starting with the GLE 350, which can tow up to 2,700 kg, the model range quickly steps up to 3,500 kg towing across the GLE 450, GLE 450e plug-in hybrid, and AMG variants.
The new AMG GLE 53 4MATIC+ delivers 429 horsepower from a turbocharged inline-six with mild hybrid assistance, blending high performance with full towing strength. Meanwhile, the AMG GLE 63 S remains the flagship for power and capability, offering 603 horsepower and the same 3,500 kg towing limit. Each GLE model provides substantial cargo capacity and trailer-friendly stability features, making it well-suited for those with midsize trailers or family campers.
The GLS lineup maintains its position as Mercedes-Benz’s flagship three-row SUV, offering both luxury and trailering strength. All models except the AMG variant maintain a 3,500 kg towing capacity, suitable for large campers or trailers. The AMG GLS 63, however, sees a slight reduction in towing capability for 2025, now rated at 3,300 kg.
The GLS 450 and GLS 580 provide smooth acceleration and towing power thanks to EQ Boost technology, while the AMG GLS 63 delivers peak performance with a handcrafted 603-horsepower V8. Despite the power difference, all GLS models are tailored for long-distance comfort and confident trailer control, making them ideal for larger families with substantial towing needs.
The 2025 G-Class continues to combine iconic design with real-world utility, including full towing capability across both available trims. Whether in its standard G 550 form or high-performance AMG G 63, the G-Class delivers a 3,500 kg towing capacity along with robust off-road systems and ladder-frame construction.
The G 550's 416-horsepower V8 provides ample strength for towing larger recreational trailers, while the AMG G 63 ups the ante with 577 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque. Both models offer excellent rear cargo capacity and an unmatched presence, making them suitable for drivers looking to tow in luxury, regardless of terrain.
Mercedes-Benz’s EQ SUV lineup blends zero-emissions mobility with usable towing capability for lighter applications. While these models cannot tow as much as their gas or hybrid counterparts, their consistent 1,600 kg capacity provides sufficient capability for small trailers, teardrop campers, or utility loads.
Every dual-motor EQ SUV—from the EQE 350 to the AMG EQE and EQS 580—is rated to tow 1,600 kg. The AMG EQE SUV is especially notable for pairing electric performance with trailer readiness. Mercedes-Benz does not recommend towing with the EQB, which is excluded from this category.
While much of the 2025 Mercedes-Benz SUV lineup offers strong towing capability, a few models are not recommended for trailering tasks. The 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLA and GLB, both entry-level luxury SUVs, prioritize urban comfort, fuel efficiency, and compact design over towing strength and are not equipped with the necessary hardware or structural reinforcements for towing. Similarly, the 2025 EQB, Mercedes-Benz’s smallest electric SUV, is not approved for towing by the manufacturer, due to its drivetrain configuration and platform limitations. That said, as you can see above there are more than enough options in the 2025 Mercedes-Benz SUV lineup when it comes to meeting and exceeding your towing needs.
Across the 2025 Mercedes-Benz SUV lineup, towing capabilities range from 1,588 kg in compact crossovers to 3,500 kg in midsize and full-size models. Buyers have the flexibility to choose between traditional gas engines, plug-in hybrids, and fully electric drivetrains—each offering their own advantages depending on towing needs. Whether you're seeking maximum power, all-electric efficiency, or off-road confidence, there’s a Mercedes-Benz SUV tailored for your trailering priorities.
