The mid-size luxury SUV market is another bloody storm.

You ask me what brand in the world is the most "hao"? I may not be able to answer; but you ask me which brand in the world is in addition to Howe's "pampering sister attribute"? I'll answer you in a serious way – "Mercedes-Benz". Why do you ask me that he flirts with his sister? Then you look at what brands the little sisters around you have the most, after all, they all hope that the brilliance of the three-pronged star will accompany you forward.
Speaking of Mercedes-Benz, it has to be mentioned mercedes-Benz GRC, as its "volume" model, its replacement must be to alarm many young sisters or little sisters "boyfriends" wallets, and this time I came to dig for everyone to dig up the new generation of Mercedes-Benz GLC (code X254) that will be released in the first half of the year, to give you an early warning of your wallet.
Can't escape the clutches of family-style matryoshka dolls
Judging from the overwhelming exposure of spy photos, the new generation of Mercedes-Benz GLC naturally did not escape the clutches of matryoshka dolls, fully used the latest generation of Mercedes-Benz family design language (saying so much, in fact, it is the new C-class set), and also provided Two sets of luxury (luxury) and AMG line (sports) two sets of style suites.
Renderings of the new generation GRC
Among them, on the front face, the new generation of Mercedes-Benz GRC abandons the rounded design ideas of the current model, and the shape tends to be flattened, and the family-oriented "inverted triangle" headlight group that people love and hate also appears again, and the inverted Nike-type daytime running lights are embedded.
The new inverted trapezoidal grid is more aggressive than the current model and the area has been further increased (this is to be compared to BMW's mid-grid area to the end Wow!). ), and depending on the configuration, it can provide two designs of "full of stars" and "one bar", while the lower grille, in addition to the administrative kit, also provides AMG style, thus further highlighting youthfulness.
On the side, the proportion of the new car body has been significantly longer than the current model (perhaps the standard shaft size of the new generation has to catch up with the current long shaft version), and the side waist line no longer uses the current line to the end, but instead uses a number of non-parallel waist lines to build a rich block surface, thus highlighting the texture of the whole vehicle. At the same time, the raised lines above the arches of the front wheels of the current model have been eliminated, further highlighting the elegant body design.
The change in the tail is more obvious, the overall silhouette perfectly inherits the big brother GLE, especially the design of the upper narrow and lower width can make people see at a glance that this is the latest Mercedes-Benz; the taillight group on the side is also the same as the headlights, and it is equipped with the latest family design (as for whether it is good or not, I still have a little bit of acceptance).
The inline light group is more similar to the C-class, which is a matrix LED layout, which is like a brilliant "galaxy" after lighting; and the surrounding below adopts a bilateral double layout, but as for the specific style, it is yet to be officially announced in the future.
This interior
This interior is also too yummy!
If the exterior doesn't impress you yet, the interior that follows will definitely make you "thrilled". Through the exposed spy photos, we can see that the new generation of Mercedes-Benz GRCs copied the big brother S-class (can also be said C-class, anyway, it is a matryoshka doll).
The overall design is very different from the current model, with the waterfall-style central touch screen extending longitudinally from the center console, becoming the protagonist of the new interior, and together with the large piano paint panels, it creates a wrap-around cockpit space.
However, the most important thing is the new car machine system, the new Mercedes-Benz GLC is equipped with the same second-generation MBUX system as the C-class, of which the floating 12.3-inch full-LCD digital instrument resolution reaches 2400 * 900, the display effect is excellent; while the 11.9-inch central control large-screen interactive mode on the side cancels the traditional physical buttons and adopts a full-touch operation similar to a full-screen tablet.
In addition, through the huge digging hole in front of the instrument, it can also be determined that the new generation of Mercedes-Benz GLC high-end models are equipped with a head-up display (AR-HUD) system with augmented reality. It is reported that the new HUD display can make the auxiliary image show a distance of 10 meters, together with the driver assistance system and navigation information, can provide a large number of augmented reality content.
The whole series of 48V light mix blessing
As for the power part, according to the leaked information, it can be determined that the new generation of Mercedes-Benz GRC will continue to share the powertrain with the Mercedes-Benz C-class (and therefore the current model will become the last generation of pure fuel version models), specifically divided into GLC200, GLC260 and GLC300 three models, respectively equipped with M254 1.5T high and low power and 2.0T turbocharged engine, all matching EQ Boost 48V light hybrid technology (ISG form), the maximum power is divided into 125kW, 150kW, 190kW, all three powertrains are matched with a 9-speed automatic transmission (9G-TRONIC) and are available in 4MATIC four-wheel drive models.
In addition, the new generation of Mercedes-Benz GLC will also provide a plug-in hybrid system (but released later), consisting of a 2.0T turbocharged engine + drive motor, of which the permanent magnet synchronous motor has a maximum power of 95 kW, a maximum torque of 440 N·m, and a matching battery capacity of 25.4 kWh, and is expected to have a pure electric range of about 100 km (WLTP standard).
In addition, thanks to the MRA2 longitudinal rear-drive platform, the new generation of Mercedes-Benz GLC body will also be made of more aluminum alloy materials (but as for the domestic version will not be aluminum for steel, it is unknown), the use of lightweight materials and the improvement of the manufacturing process will further reduce the weight of the body; and with the reduction of weight, the fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions of the new car will also decline, so that the new car can meet the stricter emission regulations.
If you want to buy cash, you may wish to wait
This may be the "most" detailed collection of new generation Mercedes-Benz GLC information on the whole network, in order to collect this information, Xiaobian I can be said to be painstaking; at the same time, through writing this article, Xiaobian also found that I also seem to like this new generation of Mercedes-Benz GLC, after all, this interior I can only say "true fragrance", eager to immediately go to the next order.
At present, the testing work of the new generation of Mercedes-Benz GRC overseas is also nearing the end, and the testing work of the new generation of Beijing Mercedes-Benz GRC is also in full swing, and it is expected to meet with us soon!
Returning to the truth, the new generation of Mercedes-Benz GLC can be said to have brought about a change of birth in terms of design or internal technology, and the "black technology" of various comprehensive innovations has made me deeply feel the charm brought by science and technology. In terms of user corner usage, Mercedes-Benz GRC still maintains the consistently high level of Mercedes-Benz, which also allows the new generation of Mercedes-Benz GRC to have more highlights in the same class of models. Overall, this is a perfect transformation of the new generation of Mercedes-Benz GLC after 7 years, once again redefining the new standard of luxury mid-size SUVs.
