In April this year, the Mercedes-Benz GLC encountered very large sales resistance. Judging from the data, the new Mercedes-Benz GLC showed momentum after its launch, and even sold 11,435 units in February during the Spring Festival holiday, which is quite a good result. Sales in March were as high as 19,000, which is absolutely amazing for an SUV that is still quite expensive. But by April of this year, sales began to fall sharply, with only 7,511 units, almost half of the drop.

One thing to say, Mercedes-Benz car companies are extremely sophisticated, just completed the facelift in March this year, and quickly changed the model in May, wanting to increase sales through the facelift. At the same time, the price threshold for new cars was quickly lowered, making it affordable for more and more users.

In terms of price, the manufacturer's guide price of Mercedes-Benz GLC is 427,800-531,300 yuan, and the entry-level is basically 350,000 yuan after the discount. The 24 new cars have only been on the market for two or three months, and this discount is undoubtedly staggering, and it also shows that the Mercedes-Benz GLC has been forced into a corner.

Looking at the power system, Mercedes-Benz GLC is equipped with a 2.0T+48V mild hybrid system and a matching nine-speed manual automatic transmission. According to different configurations, it is divided into 260 versions and 300 versions. The dynamics of both variants are good, with strong acceleration even in standard driving mode, but the 260 version does have some setbacks in the 30-40 yard range.

The appearance design has been greatly improved compared with the previous generation version, and the enhancement of the width and size of the vehicle has also made the aesthetics of the vehicle better upgraded. The new car is matched with large 19-inch wheels and Michelin silent tires, so this Mercedes-Benz GLC is all about comfort. Since the upgrade, there is not much correlation with sports performance, and my favorite is still the tail styling design, the tail lights have a luxurious texture, and the dual exhaust pipes are connected by chrome metal, which has a visual sense of Mercedes-Benz new E.

Compared with the previous generation model, the interior design has also been significantly improved, and the biggest change is definitely the central control part, the screen size has been upgraded to 11.9 inches, the screen size has become larger, and the response speed of the car machine is faster. It is worth mentioning that the new car is also equipped with a 12.3-inch full LCD driving computer and a large panoramic sunroof as standard, and the sense of science and technology has indeed been improved to a great extent compared with the previous generation model.

In addition, the new car still retains the luxury of traditional Mercedes-Benz, such as the 64-color luxury interior ambient lighting, the sound of Berlin, and the brown-red interior, creating a strong luxury attribute. The new model also adds a 2+3+2 seven-seat configuration, and the seven-seat configuration is not a chicken rib, although the space in the third row is small, but it can be emergency (there are no 7-seat overseas). The rear seats can also be folded down to form an oversized luggage compartment, and the trunk volume of the seven-seater version has reached 440 liters when the seats are full.

In fact, I think the Mercedes-Benz GLC has changed from a handling SUV of the previous generation to a comfort orientation of the current one. It stands to reason that the range of users who accept it should be wider, but sales have declined, which also shows that more and more users are buying electric cars. Although the facelift of the all-new Mercedes-Benz GLC has only been around for about a year, it has also come to the time to fight the price with real guns.
