Recently, we obtained a set of renderings of the new Mercedes-Benz GRC from relevant channels, the new car will adopt the same new family design language as the S-class, and the C-class is based on the same MRA II platform, which is expected to be equipped with a rear-wheel active steering system, and the addition of rear-wheel steering technology can reduce the turning radius when driving at low speeds and improve the sensitivity of the control.
The overall contour does not change much, but the adjustment in detail is noticeable
Although the appearance of the Mercedes-Benz GLC is covered by spy photos, but you can still see a clearer body outline, the appearance has obvious adjustments in most of the details, the front of the face of the middle net interior using a straight waterfall grille plus horizontal strip combination, the middle plus Mercedes-Benz's three-pronged star glow standard, showing the luxury atmosphere of Mercedes-Benz. The LED headlight sets on both sides are similar to the new Mercedes-Benz GLS, and the lower encirclement adopts a penetrating blackening treatment, with bilateral large-size decorative parts, and there is no lack of fashion while moving.
The shape of the sides and tail is not much different from the current model, the overall silhouette is still full and rounded, and the exterior mirrors are moved from the A-pillar down to the door position. According to the convention, the body size will be longer than the current model, and the code name after domestic production is V254, and it is expected to launch a 7-seat version. The shape of the hub is also one of the highlights of the side, using a five-blade design, it is worth mentioning that the hub is a low wind resistance hub, which means that it has a lower energy consumption performance.
The tail shape is the same as the Mercedes-Benz GLA, using the latest LED taillights, and the bottom is a bilateral four-out exhaust layout.
The interior skips the dual screen design and goes straight to the same vertical screen layout as the S-class
Compared with the appearance, the interior changes are more obvious, directly skip the Mercedes-Benz "dual screen" design, using the same vertical screen layout as the S-class, with a standard 12.3-inch full LCD dashboard and an upright 11.9-inch central control large screen, equipped with Mercedes-Benz's latest MBUX system. Judging from the new models of the S-Class and the C-Class, Mercedes-Benz will gradually popularize such designs to the entire Mercedes-Benz series in the future.
This can be seen that Mercedes-Benz is very smart, first put the latest technology and design on the flagship model S-class, so that consumers have a preconceived impression, the heart will feel that this is the design of mercedes-Benz flagship model, and then popularize such design to the volume model, so that consumers have a sense of "spending a small amount of money to do big things", in order to increase the sales of the entire brand.
In terms of power, the new GLC will provide three powertrains, in addition to the current 2.0T engine, it will also add a combination of 1.5T engine and 48V light hybrid system and a 2.0T plug-in hybrid version, which is matched by the 9AT transmission.
