The GLC was the best-selling Mercedes in the last two years. This is the importance of this model, and it is only natural that after about two years of career, the GLC will have a welcome new generation.
“The new GLC perpetuates our design philosophy with its sensuality and, like our entire SUV range, radiates intelligence and emotion,” said Gorden Wagener, Mercedes-Benz’s head of design. “Its extraordinary beauty and character embody our conception of modern Mercedes-Benz luxury.”
As you can see, the front of the vehicle has been redesigned with lenses that extend to the new grille. At the rear, the new GLC incorporates two-part lights with a three-dimensional signature.
The new Mercedes-benz GLC The GLC is 4.72 metres long and 1.89 metres wide. It is therefore 6 cm longer than its predecessor. This mainly benefits the wheelbase and the volume of the trunk which has increased by 50 liters to reach a total of 600 liters. While we’re in the cabin, let’s stay there, since there are also evolutions.
We find a new 12.3-inch screen in front of the driver’s eyes and an 11.9-inch touchscreen, in the centre of the dashboard and slightly oriented towards the driver. These two screens are standard on all finishes. Overall, the models sold in France are pretty well equipped. The heated seats are also part of the package, as is the smartphone’s induction charge.
The new GLC is only available in hybrid with four-cylinder engines. Finished the six cylinders in the GLC, even future sports versions should not have the right. The plug-in hybrid version can achieve a total electric range of about 100 km depending on the WLTP cycle thanks to a battery with a total capacity of 31.2 kWh. Full of luxury, thanks to a 60 kW charging capacity, the filling can be done in just 30 minutes.
The engines range from 197 hp for the smallest 220 d diesel version (and the only diesel available) to 381 hp for the 400 e plug-in hybrid version. A smaller 313 hp PHEV version is also available.
Among the available equipment, we find, for example, Airmatic air suspensions and steering rear wheels to increase agility. The plug-in hybrid versions are equipped with an air suspension and a trim corrector as standard. The Offroad Pack can increase ground clearance by 20 mm.
The new MercedesGLC will be produced in Bremen, Sindelfingen and Beijing. Prices for the French market have not yet been communicated.
