The engine range has four-cylinder units from the current Family of Modular Engines. The ISG system includes the 48-volt electrical system, which enables functions such as "gliding", boost or recuperation and thus significant fuel savings.
The GLC has significantly improved on and off-road attributes for adverse weather conditions and stretches with unpaved roads. These include simplified operation using the off-road screen and outstanding traction and handling safety.
The new front-axle drive allows higher torque levels to be transferred, with an ideal axle load distribution for driving dynamics. The longitudinal transfer case, which is also new, further reduces friction losses.
The dashboard features generous trim surfaces with a central display that appears to float above it. The avant-garde seat design and modern door panels emphasize the high quality of the interior.
The new seat design plays with layers and contoured surfaces, lending them visual lightness. Innovative surfaces include new interpretations of open-pored veneers in brown tones, as well as an open-pored, black wood veneer.
The latest generation of the infotainment system with two large displays and optional full-screen navigation makes the interior even more digital and intelligent.
The ambience lighting extending from the dashboard to the rear doors creates an individual feel-good atmosphere in the vehicle. It has 64 colors and ten brightness levels.
The door center panel with integrated armrest evolves from a vertical surface into a horizontal orientation. The door handle and seat adjustment controls are integrated in the floating control cluster.
Precisely shaped edges emphasize the proportions as well as the muscular wheel arches, and also create a balance between elegance and off-road performance.
One of the defining design highlights of the GLC is the redesigned front end, with headlamps that connect directly to the radiator grille to emphasize the vehicle's width. DIGITAL LIGHT headlamps are available as optional extras.
Features of the sporty, confident appearance are the wide track and flush wheels in 18 to 20-inch size. Several of the wheels available ex-factory are also aerodynamically optimized.
