World reviews the brand new mid-sized SUV which will replace
the very popular GLK next year.
The GLC offers a more modern look with added comfort and
advanced technology. The new name signifies that it shares a platform with the
C-Class, hence the aggressive redesign, impeccable timing and raft of new
technology.
New looks
The GLC is a good looking SUV – it’s fresher, sleeker and
more aggressive than most. It has all the right proportions and immediately
stands out as something luxurious and sporty.
It has a more of an elegant and modern design that is also more
aerodynamic.
Under the bonnet
The GLC-Class will launch with just one engine: the
2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four has a preliminary output rated at 241hp and
273 pound-feet of torque. It will come standard with a nine-speed automatic
transmission and five driving modes: Eco, Comfort, Sport, Sport+ and
Individual.
Interior
The interior has undergone a slick makeover. It comes
equipped with the sporty, three-spoke steering wheel and the wide, angled
centre stack with a big infotainment display screen sitting on top. Another
bonus is the minimalist approach Mercedes have taken with the centre console.
It is clear of clutter and excess buttons and its curved, brushed aluminium
trim make it a really enticing feature.
Spacious
Thanks to a wheelbase that has been stretched by 4.6 inches,
the interior of the GLC now affords more space, including an extra 2.2 inches
of rear seat space. The boot space has also increased by 580 litres and by 1600
litres when the seats are folded down.
Lighter and more efficient
Despite its larger footprint, the new GLC weighs 176 pounds
less than the GLK, thanks to the extensive use of aluminium and high-strength
steel. Its lighter mass helps it get
about 19 percent better mileage. Mercedes claim that the diesel can get about
42.8 mpg.
