This is the all-new Mercedes GLC!
Having first been introduced back in 2015, the all-new GLC is here, and it has competitors such as the Audi Q5 & BMW X3 in its sights! The question is, are there enough updates and changes to grab your attention?
In terms of looks, the new GLC takes a number of design cues from the C-Class. But then again, that’s no surprise, given it’s effectively an SUV version of the popular saloon! As a result, it comes with swooping tail lights and a generally good-looking rear end (even if it comes with both fake exhausts and vents)! The side profile is pretty sleek and sporty, while there’s a bigger grille, two Mercedes badges, and if you choose the AMG-line edition, a pretty sporty front bumper.
It’s more of the same on the inside, with the cabin proving to be super stylish. There’s a massive infotainment screen in the centre of the dash, along with soft-touch, high-quality materials throughout the car. The air vents are well laid out, and the seats are super comfy. Overall, it doesn’t get much better than this when it comes to mid-sized SUVs.
When it comes to performance, there’s a choice of diesel, petrol and plug-in hybrid engines to choose from. The range-topper is the 2-litre turbo petrol PHEV, which delivers 313hp. They all come with 9-speed gearboxes and four-wheel drive. The plug-in hybrid can also drive for up to 80 miles on electric power alone!
There’s one key feature you need to keep in mind, however… The new Mercedes GLC starts from £52,000! That’s more expensive than the key competitors from BMW, Audi and Porsche! So should you choose this SUV over the competition? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!
