The Mercedes-Benz GLC, the German luxury brand's most popular car internationally, is back as a second-generation model after a brief hiatus. The model's absence from the brand's lineup since last year meant that other contenders could swoop in to capture the market. With the new iteration, understandably a very important SUV for the brand, Mercedes-Benz is looking to reclaim its turf. The new car, like the new C-Class, is heavily updated and seems extremely promising on paper.
EXTERIOR DESIGN
Built on the MRA II platform, like the C-Class and the S-Class, the GLC's design is an evolved version of its predecessor, which ensures continuity with a fresh touch. Borrowing elements from the former and with the well-proportioned shape of the outgoing model, the new iteration makes a mark while staying true to its roots. The car's improved aerodynamics, with the drag coefficient reduced to 0.29 from 0.31, is claimed to ensure better performance and fuel efficiency. The newly integrated LED headlights with the grille and the larger three-pointed star emblem give it a distinct look while the bumper, styled akin to a skid plate, adds a rugged touch.
From the side, not a lot has changed except a tighter bodywork. The smart-looking 19-inch, five-spoke alloys add immensely to the side profile and are very different to what Mercedes-Benz have done in the past. Towards the rear, horizontally oriented lights with distinctive LED units with a central bar in gloss black tie the whole design together.
