All-new Mercedes-Benz GLC teased ahead of launch
Mercedes-Benz has teased the upcoming new generation GLC again via its social media handles. The teaser hints that the launch of the highest-selling SUV from the German carmaker in the Indian market is just a few short weeks away. Mercedes-Benz has earlier shared pictures of the new GLC covered in starry camouflage. Currently, the outgoing GLC is available in a choice of two trims: 200 Progressive and 220d 4Matic Progressive, priced at Rs 62 lakh and 68 lakh (both ex-showroom), respectively. However, the upcoming new generation GLC is likely to attract a higher premium given that it features a raft of new features, electrification across the board, all-wheel drive as standard, new-gen MBUX, and more. Notably, the prices of the new model could range between Rs 65 lakh and 70 lakh.
New Mercedes-Benz GLC teased: Design, dimensions, and Interior
The second generation GLC is 4,716mm long, 2,075mm wide, and 1,640mm tall with a wheelbase of 2,888mm. Whereas, the front and rear track width has also been increased by 6mm and 23mm, respectively.
The key highlights of the exterior include new headlamps with eyebrow-style daytime driving lights, a wider grille, new front door-mounted outside view mirrors, new front and rear bumpers, new triangular taillamps, dual exhaust tips, and new alloy wheels. On the inside, the interior has received a complete overhaul. There is a new MBUX setup with a 12.3-inch driver display and 11.9-inch central information hub that debuted with the flagship S-Class, fresh seats, a new steering wheel, and C-Class-inspired air con vents. Mercedes-Benz, however, has ditched the MBUX trackpad and button setup to give the centre console a clean look, which now houses cubby holders and a wireless charging pad.
New Mercedes-Benz GLC teased: Features and equipment
The feature-list of the all-new GLC comprises a new off-road mode with 'transparent bonnet' function, enhanced Advanced driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), LED headlamps, 360deg camera, Burmester surround system, 64 colours ambient lighting, a panoramic sunroof, a heads-up display, and multi-zone temperature control. Optional extras could include an engineering package with airmatic air suspension and rear-axle steering along with progressive digital headlamps.
New Mercedes-Benz GLC teased: Engine, power outputs, and transmission
Mercedes offers the international-spec model with three primary powertrain options: GLC 200, GLC 300, and GLC 220d, along with three PHEV choices, namely GLC 300e, GLC 400e, and GLC 300de. However, we expect the India-spec new GLC to come with only GLC 200 4Matic, GLC 300 4Matic or GLC 220d 4Matic trims. These petrol and diesel engines now get mild hybrid functionality.
