When it comes to luxury brand mid-size SUVs, I believe that everyone here can't avoid the Mercedes-Benz GLC L. The reason is also very simple, Mercedes-Benz brand power bears the brunt, there is another important factor, Mercedes-Benz GLC L (early car nameggLK) is the first BBA class of models to be domestically produced. After several updates, it has also evolved into the image favored by current consumers, and on the basis of luxury, it has become more fashionable and young, but what has not changed is its user stickiness and continuously higher sales. In the face of such a hot model, is its latest revamped low-end entry model worth buying?
2022 GLC 260 L 4MATIC Dynamic (Variant III)
Manufacturer guidance price: 406,300 yuan
Terminal discount: 3.70-101,000 yuan (Beijing area)
Compared with the redesign of the two same class models, the price of the car is 0.38 million yuan, and there are also trade-offs at the configuration level. In terms of appearance, AMG style sports components no longer need to be selected by the user, which can save an expense and be more visually smart and sporty. At the lower perimeter, the front parking radar can be seen, and the 360° panoramic image is a configuration exclusive to high-end models.
LED headlights for the Mercedes-Benz GLC L series of standard, with automatic headlight function, daily use of the car can be easily competent, through this is also difficult to see the model configuration, the face can be enough, and adaptive near and far light and geometric light speed headlights The model can not be optional.
In terms of body size, the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC L has a length, width and height of 4764/1898/1642mm and a wheelbase of 2973mm. Although it is a low-end model, the exterior mirrors are still fully functional, with electric adjustment, electric folding, heating, automatic roll-down of reversing, and automatic folding of locking cars. However, the car does not have a full car keyless entry function, the user needs to choose their own, the cost is 2500 yuan, according to the practicality, the configuration is very necessary.
The five-spoke rim is simple and sporty, and the size of the 260 L model is 19 inches, which is enough for a medium-sized SUV, the tire specification is 235/55 R19, and the specific model is bridgestone TUNZA T005.
At the rear of the car, the shape is round and full, and there is no difference between low and high models. In terms of appearance, it is difficult to see the difference with the 260 L high-end model, and the configuration is quite comprehensive for the family, but it is regrettable that the 360° panoramic image function cannot be selected.
Coming to the car, the biggest difference between the low-end model and other configuration models is the material in the central control area, the low-end model is covered with bright black piano paint, which is slightly inferior to the wood grain material in the luxurious atmosphere, but it can create a sense of fashion.
This small modification, the 12.3-inch full LCD instrument is upgraded to standard, which is more exquisite than the previous combination of LCD screen + mechanical hands.
The steering wheel shape and function buttons are the same as those of the high-end model, with paddle shifters, but the steering wheel memory function is castrated, which is a minus for the creation of luxury. HuD low-end models do not support optional, and other models need to spend 9,000 yuan for optional.
The 10.25-inch central control screen was previously the standard of the whole series, with a built-in MBUX intelligent human-computer interaction system, support for CarPlay/CarLife mobile phone interconnection, and after the redesign, gps navigation and navigation road condition information display functions have been added, and the practicality has been improved to a certain extent.
As mentioned earlier, the car does not provide a 360° panoramic image function, but the parking assistance radar around the body can indicate the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle through the auxiliary line, thereby improving the safety of parking and low-speed conditions.
Leather material seat front row support 8-way electric adjustment, with heating function and "boss key", but the main driver seat memory is canceled, the rear seat optional heating, the cost is 3000 yuan, the northern user has children or the elderly at home, the configuration is necessary to choose. There is no individual air conditioning in the rear, which is harmless for models at this price point. In addition, the mood light needs to be optional, the cost is 1800 yuan, if it is only used as a family car, this configuration is optional.
In terms of safety configuration, all models are treated equally, and the standard main/co-pilot airbags, front and side airbags, front and rear head airbags, knee airbags, active safety systems, fatigue driving tips, etc., make people feel very safe.
In terms of power, the Mercedes-Benz GLC L is equipped with a combination of 2.0T turbocharged engine + 9-speed manual transmission, which is divided into high and low power according to different models, and the 260 L model is low power, with a maximum power of 145 kW (197Ps) and a maximum torque of 320 N·m. The chassis structure is a front and rear multi-link independent suspension, with standard suspension soft and hard adjustable and full-time four-wheel drive system.
Write at the end:

Of course, as a low-end model, it is not a pure face-to-face product.

On the whole, if you have a limited budget, you want to buy a luxury brand mid-size SUV and want to feel the Mercedes-Benz car-making philosophy. Well, this entry-level model is worth getting started.
