In the domestic market, mercedes-benz GLC is a highly popular luxury mid-size SUV, which together with bmw X3, Audi Q5L three models of sales can account for more than 80% of the luxury mid-size SUV market share, very dominant. Although the sales data of Mercedes-Benz GLC is very good now, but it can not hide its very "old" embarrassing situation, to know that this generation of models has not been replaced since its listing in 2016, it has been 6 years, is a veritable "veteran", for Mercedes-Benz, the launch of Mercedes-Benz GLC's new replacement model is very necessary. A few days ago, foreign media exposed the new Mercedes-Benz GLC light pseudo road test spy photos, the new car inside and outside the changes are very large, let's take a look at it.
The front face of the new car has changed significantly, the front grille line is sharper, the shape of the headlight group has also changed, the LED daytime running lights have become more stout, and from the visual point of view, it feels like the front hood occupies a large proportion of the body. The horizontal bar decoration strip + starry design in the front grille is the unchanged theme of Mercedes-Benz, and the lower grille also adopts a blackened design, which is intended to enhance the sense of sport. From the side of the car, the size of the window behind the C-pillar has increased significantly, according to foreign media reports, this is because the body size of the new car has been further extended, and the new Mercedes-Benz GLC will be lengthened again after the domestic production. Therefore, there is a saying that the new Mercedes-Benz GRC will launch a 7-seater model.
The rear of the new car has been redesigned to become heavier, which reminds me of the original Mercedes-Benz GLK. The taillight shape has also been redesigned, feeling more generous, because the inside of the taillight is camouflaged, but also covered with snow, what it looks like remains to be examined. It can also be seen that there is no chrome exhaust on the rear bumper of the new car, which looks a bit like the visual sense of an electric car.
Powerly, because the new Mercedes-Benz GRC follows the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class, and the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class has a 1.5T engine, it is not excluded that the Mercedes-Benz GRC will launch a 1.5T model, but in order to improve its power output, the 1.5T engine will certainly be equipped with a 48V mixing system. If the new Mercedes-Benz GRC was replaced with a 1.5T engine, would you still buy it? Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the new car will follow the powertrain of the current model, that is, the high-low power 2.0T engine + Mercedes-Benz's self-developed 9AT gearbox, and the 4MATIC full-time four-wheel drive system is still the standard of the whole series.
In terms of interior, the interior design of the current Mercedes-Benz GRC is directly "copied" from the previous generation of Mercedes-Benz C-Class, and it is very reasonable for the new car to "copy" the interior of the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class again. Through the camouflage spy photos of the new car's interior, it can be seen that the LCD dashboard and central control screen layout are exactly the same as the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class, and the new operating system has been replaced, and the use experience is also more intelligent. According to Mercedes-Benz, the future of the new Mercedes-Benz GLC AMG will no longer provide 3.0T V6 engine and 4.0T V8 engine, but will use a new 2.0T four-cylinder hybrid system, the power output is more powerful at the same time, the displacement has also been reduced, for Mercedes-Benz, it can be described as "killing two birds with one stone", and for consumers, a performance-oriented SUV, but equipped with a 2.0T four-cylinder engine, the heart will be more or less uncomfortable, right?
