TESTED 9.3.22, ARVIDSJAUR, SWEDEN ON SALE DECEMBER
The GLC SUV recently took over as the best-selling Mercedes-Benz globally, beating the longtime incumbent C-Class saloon with more than 270,000 sales in 2021. It’s no surprise to learn, then, that the second-generation model, driven here for the first time as a prototype, employs the same fundamentals.
It still sits on the MRA platform, although this has been developed for greater rigidity and reduced weight.
It is 60mm longer than before and has a 15mm-longer wheelbase, with these subtle increases being used to make the interior more spacious.
This has also been reworked itself, borrowing heavily from the C-Class – most clearly in the huge touchscreen – but with its own uniquely styled air vents and higher-quality materials.
The second GLC will arrive with a quartet of four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines, plus a diesel straight-six, each enhanced by an efficiency increasing 48V mild-hybrid system.
