The exterior is still using a family design, and the details have become more sporty. Judging from the exposed spy photos, after the replacement, the mercedes-Benz GLC appearance modeling did not have much adjustment, but only made changes to the details, such as the position of the exterior mirror and the door handle moved down, using a clearer waistline design. The front face shape is more familiar, the large size grille occupies a large area of the front face, and the Mercedes-Benz logo + through-line decoration is the unchanged theme. The front and rear light clusters have been redesigned with new rims and concealed exhaust for a more sporty style than the current model.
The interior is more technological and the smart configuration is expected to be better. The interior of the current Mercedes-Benz GLC is indeed not in line with the development trend of the times, and it is somewhat old-fashioned compared with the current mainstream models. However, after the replacement, the new Mercedes-Benz GLC replaced with a similar design idea to the Mercedes-Benz C-class, replaced by a larger vertical central control screen, and a full LCD dashboard without any obstruction, and the overall sense of technology was improved a lot. In addition, it is also equipped with the latest MBUX human-computer interaction system, and the performance of the new car in terms of intelligence after the replacement is worth looking forward to.
The body size has been further increased, and the space is more spacious than the BMW X3. We can refer to the domestic version of the Mercedes-Benz GRC length, width and height are 4764/1898/1642mm, and the wheelbase is 2973mm. The wheelbase is slightly larger than the BMW X3 (body length 4737mm / wheelbase 2864mm) and Audi Q5L (body length 4770mm / wheelbase 2907mm). Judging from the news currently exposed, the window size after the C pillar of the new Mercedes-Benz GLC model has increased significantly, and the body size of the vehicle may be further improved, and the space performance has more advantages than the opponent to meet the needs of domestic consumers for space.
The power is still based on 2.0T, and other versions may be added. The new Mercedes-Benz GLC is not very much in terms of power, and may continue to be equipped with a 2.0T high-low power engine + 9-speed automatic transmission power combination, the maximum power is 197 horsepower and 258 horsepower, which is more powerful than the 252 horsepower 2.0T engine used by the BMW X3 in the same class. In addition, from the perspective of market development, it may also add 48V light hybrid system, and may also increase plug-in hybrid models.

In addition, there are a variety of options in terms of power, the driving experience is better than the current car, the competitive advantage in the same class of models is further strengthened, and the excellent sales performance will be continued.
