Be that as it may, the Mercedes-Benz GLC has seen its sales grow worldwide to almost reach 2 million units sold.
The GLC is one of the brand's best-selling models.
The two body variants of the GLC: the GLC SUV and the GLC Coupé
Currently eThe Mercedes GLC is sold in two variants, the Coupé and the SUV. The main difference between one and the other is found in the shape of the rear (rear part). In it Mercedes GLC SUV This decreases, while in the Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupé it extends, forming a saloon-type tailgate.
What makes the New Mercedes GLC SUV different?
El new Mercedes GLC It is distinguished from the previous one by its design of robust lines with large wheel arches.
This new model is slightly larger than its predecessor and its new cabin stands out considerably from it.
Despite its dimensions, the New GLC is capable of traveling on urban roads in total comfort which allows users who travel in it to enjoy greater space and loading capacity even on the shortest journeys.
Did you know that the Mercedes GLC is one of the few vehicles on the market in which its plug-in hybrid versions can be equipped with a diesel combustion engine? For this reason, it is one of the brand's vehicles with the lowest consumption despite its dimensions.
Dimensions of the new GLC compared to the previous model:
As for the ddimensions, the new GLC measures 4,72 m long, 6 cm longer than the previous model. Six centimeters that, although not visible to the naked eye, allow for a more comfortable cabin.
Also for this new version of GLC the wheelbase has been increased going from 2,74 m to 2,89 m, which gives it greater stability on off-road terrain.
Last but not least, cargo space has been increased by 50 liters and now it reaches 620 liters. More than enough cargo space to travel with the whole family. Even so, if you are one of those who needs more space for trips, you should know that the new Mercedes GLC is presented with new accessories specifically designed to increase the comfort of your trips.
On board the new 2022 GLC SUV:
The most significant changes are found in the interior, an interior completely inherited from the Mercedes C-Class, Mercedes-Benz's best-selling sedan, something that becomes visible as soon as we look at the dashboard.
Its dashboard includes the well-known 12,3-inch digital instrument panel and its imposing 11,9-inch touch screen as the center console. Logically and as is already done in other Mercedes models, all this accompanied by the Mercedes infotainment the MBUX.
Safety as a hallmark of Mercedes-Benz
This is not the first time we have highlighted cutting-edge safety components at Mercedes-Benz.
El new GLC has the most evolved Mercedes systems previously tested in its luxury sedan, the S-Class.
The new GLC offers a wide range of driving aids that have never been seen before in this model.
Some of the new features it includes are sign recognition that is now capable of reading illuminated highway signs and most temporary construction signs.
Furthermore, for those who use a trailer, they should know that the new GLC has a help system to plan the route depending on the trailer you have.
The Mercedes GLC too can include optional Digital Light headlights, the same ones we saw in their day for the S Class. Some headlights capable of projecting information directly onto the road and even to indicate the presence of pedestrians on the road or to warn of a wrong turn.
Mercedes-Benz Digital light headlights
The Mercedes-Benz Digital Light headlights are now part of the list of accessories for the new Mercedes GLC. Released in the S-Class and later in the C-Class, these headlights allow greater illumination to the vehicles that use them and, consequently, provide extra safety. These headlights provide 100 times more precision than the previous version of LED headlights.
Hybridized engine also for the new Mercedes GLC:
As is already a reality and following the standards of European regulations, the new Mercedes GLC has three hybrid engines (MHEV) and three plug-in hybrid engines (PHEV).
At the moment, 3 engines are available in Spain, the GLC 200 4MATIC, GLC 220 d 4MATIC and the GLC 300 4MATIC, the most powerful of all with more than 260 HP of power. All of them with a microhydration system that provides extra power while helping to reduce consumption and having an ECO environmental label.
Furthermore, all engines have the 4MATIC permanent all-wheel drive system.
Meet the Mercedes-Benz all-wheel drive system.
The offer in Spain will soon be expanded with the new plug-in hybrid engines (PHEV) for the new GLC.
Off-Road Behavior of the new GLC:
Is a reality, Mercedes has worked hard to get the most out of the GLC platform and this time he has prepared it to the maximum so that it is capable of climbing the most difficult terrain with the off-road mode, as you can see in the following images.
Su great off-road capacity is increased thanks to the Airmatic system with which you can vary the height of the GLC by up to 20 mm. Another very interesting novelty that helps the GLC on urban roads or off-road terrain lies in the rear axle.
This time, the new GLC SUV has been provided with a steering axle at the rear, which gives it a smaller turning radius.
It is impressive to see how when off-road mode is activated the screen adapts to it and shows all the parameters necessary to carry out this type of driving.
Also surprising and very interesting is the transparent hood function for this driving mode. The front camera shows, without the presence of the hood, the direction that the vehicle is going to take depending on the position of the steering wheel.
In addition, this allows you to see what is ahead at all times, which is especially interesting in very pronounced changes in gradient such as off-road driving.
The price:
The current prices of the Mercedes GLC range between €58.150 and €61.175, a more than reasonable price if we talk about a Premium brand such as Mercedes-Benz, with the levels of quality and safety that characterize it so much.
