Since the replacement of many Mercedes-Benz models, GLC, the pillar of Mercedes-Benz sales, has finally ushered in more news in recent days, including the latest spy photos and new car release dates.
According to overseas sources, The new generation of Mercedes-Benz GLC is expected to be officially released on June 1 this year, and is expected to be listed in China at the same time as this year.
Compared with the previous exposed spy photos, the new car spy photos exposed this time are only slightly camouflaged before and after, which means that the design ideas of the new generation of models can be roughly seen, and the overall continuation of the current curved shape, but there are also very obvious changes.
Specifically, the new Mercedes-Benz GRC adopts the latest family design, and the front face is replaced with a new grille while matching the one-piece light set, always maintaining a relatively restrained design.
The side of the body continues the current D-pillar while moving the waist line, similar to the new generation of GLA, and the rear fenders are uplifted, which greatly broadens the sense of line of the new car.
In view of the fact that the new car is a replacement model, it is expected that the size will be further improved, referring to the size of the current overseas version of the GLC, the length, width and height are 4764 * 1898 * 1642mm, and the wheelbase is 2973mm. And there are foreign media news that the new car will support the third row of seat options.
In terms of the tail, it can be seen from the details revealed by the camouflage that the new tail light group has been adjusted to a slim triangle light design, and the overall continuation of the latest family design.
For the new car styling, you can basically use the new C-class crossover version of "C-class All-Terrain" as a reference, after all, the new GLC will use a lot of new C-class design elements.
In terms of interior, with reference to the spy photo news exposed this time, the new GLC basically continues the new C-class interior design, which greatly enhances the sense of technology of the new car.
Specifically, it will be equipped with a full LCD instrument and a vertical central control large screen, and is expected to integrate the latest MBUX human-computer interaction system to present a young and sporty style.
In terms of power, there is no exposure of the parameters of the new car, but it is expected that the new car will continue the current 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, and is equipped with 48-volt light mix technology, matching the 9-speed automatic transmission, at least it will have a significant improvement in power than the current model.
According to previous media reports, the new GLC is built on the same MRA II platform as the new C-class, so it is expected to be equipped with a rear wheel active steering function.
From the perspective of product positioning, the biggest competitors of the Current Mercedes-Benz GLC are still Audi Q5 and BMW X3.
BMW X3
Guidance price: 39.28-47.98 million yuan
Audi Q5L
Guidance price: 39.68-48.70 million yuan
It is understood that the current new generation of Audi Q5 is also in the road test stage, but from the perspective of product cycle, the new GLC is earlier than the two competitors, so the competitive advantage of the new GLC will also take the lead.
Although from the perspective of the new GLC style exposed this time, the new car has always been conservative as a replacement model change, and even less than BMW's medium-term redesign, but mercedes-Benz GRC as the most selling model of Mercedes-Benz, the arrival of the new model will still bring a lot of pressure to the two major competitors.
