According to foreign media information, the overall development of the new Mercedes-Benz GLC is already in a fairly mature state, and it is expected to complete the debut on June 1.
In fact, as early as 2020, mercedes-Benz GLC has begun to have a variety of spy photos exposed, but the recently exposed set of spy photos is more suitable for the final new car effect. According to this set of winter test spy photos, the overall outline of the new Mercedes-Benz GLC is still not much different from the current product, but it is obvious that the new car line is more prominent, and the headlight design has changed to a large extent, and the thick LED daytime running lights are the best examples.
After reading the whole, go into details. First of all, the front face part, the design of the middle net has not changed much compared with the current model, but the front bumper should be reshaped, and from the perspective of the silhouette, it may be more similar to the new C-class. The side part is the new GRC to increase the window area behind the C-pillar, while the three-dimensional sense and sharpness can also be more prominent. The biggest attraction at the rear is the light set, which is slightly more athletic than the current model. To sum up, the overall changes of the new car are limited, but there are still many details to see.
Copying the C-Class interior?
Along with the new car, the new interior is exposed, and the cockpit interior is obviously more interesting than the styling design.
Judging from the exposure chart, the most conspicuous screen in the middle of the entire central control is not small, which is consistent with the evolution direction of the new C-class and Mercedes-Benz S-class, and even the follow-up can look forward to the performance of this design on other Mercedes-Benz models. In addition to this screen, the full LCD instrument similar to the C class also has reservations, and the design of the pocket block has also been inherited, and the rest is still in the mystery, leaving the overall shape design of the central control.
In addition to the changes in the hardware part, the upgrade of the new GLC in the software should also be expected, at least from the actual exposure map, the new car is more comprehensive in the navigation information, and the instrument part can also synchronize the navigation information. As for whether the intelligent driving function has been advanced, there is still not much information exposure, but judging from the buttons on the new steering wheel, there may be some surprises to look forward to.
As for the space, at present, it can only be understood that the body length of the European version of the GLC will be increased from the previous 4650mm to 4720mm, and the wheelbase is also lengthened by 15mm, and it is expected that the space will be strengthened, but whether it will be on this basis to improve the imported version again, it is not clear now.
Plug-in + AMG?
Finally, we come to the most important part of the motivation. Considering that the Mercedes-Benz GRC will be launched in the European market first, the actual configuration of the regional version of the product is also newly exposed. The new GLC sold in Europe may launch three PHEV models, including the 300e, 400e and a 300de model equipped with a diesel engine, with a pure electric endurance of about 100km.
As for the traditional fuel part, the 2.0T engine is indispensable, 204Ps and 258Ps two kinds of power is also relatively clear, and the matching 48V weak mixing system will also appear together, the maximum power is 23Ps, the maximum torque is 200N·m, and the performance bonus is still good. In addition, diesel power will be released in Europe with peak power of 194Ps and 265Ps respectively, and the AMG version will also have a new 2.0T engine. However, whether these special versions will go to domestic sales together is another question.
Taste of the car:
Judging from the popularity of the new C-class in the domestic market, the second-generation GLC that has completed a comprehensive iteration in the modeling and interior parts is not small, and the possibility of winning the favor of the high-end consumer field is not small, after all, the super-sized screen and the increased internal size are still quite attractive to domestic consumers. However, whether the diversity of the power system can be brought to China together is still unknown, if the plug-and-mix version can be sold in China, then the future of GLC is more impressive, isn't it?
