The Mercedes-Benz GRC is definitely the main model in the Mercedes-Benz SUV, at least in the Chinese market, in the European market, perhaps the glc sales are not as good as the entry-level SUV like the GLA, but in the Chinese market, we often see the GLC appear on the luxury SUV list.
The current GRC has been lengthening the wheelbase specifically for the Chinese market and has been working hard in the market for many years. Compared with the main competitors BMW X3 and Audi Q5L, the Mercedes-Benz GRC is not obsolete now, but considering that Mercedes-Benz's new C-Class has been withdrawn for some time, and Mercedes-Benz has been emphasizing and mainly electrification, the launch of the new GLC can also be regarded as a result of public expectations.
In fact, there have been a large number of new GLC spy photos on the network earlier, but the new GLC spy photos taken by foreign media are only camouflaged in the front face and rear surround, and the body part has been removed from camouflage, which also shows that the development work of Mercedes-Benz GLC is basically completed, the current body has reached the quasi-mass production level, and it is only a matter of time before it is released and listed.
Objectively speaking, mercedes-benz new GRC in the styling changes should not be large, although the headlights may be sharper, but the overall style should be almost consistent with the current model, although it is currently certain that Mercedes-Benz has slightly increased the size on the new GRC, but the naked eye may not be able to see, which shows that Mercedes-Benz is still very conservative in the upgrade of the GLC, at least not as aggressive as BMW's use of split headlights.
If nothing else, the interior of the new GLC will be consistent with the current C-class, using a large central control screen, and the maximum possible reduction in the appearance of physical buttons, and it is expected that at the time of launch, the new GLC will also be equipped with the latest MBUX system, of course, this should also be the standard action of Mercedes-Benz.
In terms of powertrain, there is almost no suspense, the main engine of Mercedes-Benz's new GLC is still 2.0T+48V light mix, if Mercedes-Benz directly retains the current low-power 197 horsepower and high-power 258 horsepower power output, do not feel too strange. It is expected that Mercedes-Benz will also launch a hybrid model, but the hybrid version is more in the face of the needs of the European domestic market. Mercedes-Benz is expected to release a new GLC in early June this year, and the listing may not be until the end of 2022.
