Auto Nation Group (ANG) has officially introduced the latest iteration of the GLC — expanding its mild-hybrid roster further in the country.
ANG Chief Operating Officer Frankie Ang described the crossover’s spruced-up version as the “culmination of years of dedication, of passion and innovation by Mercedes-Benz engineers and designers.”
“The new GLC is bigger, sleeker and sportier. The new GLC embraces its rough and ready personality in the 4Matic all-wheel drive system, and it promises an unparalleled driving experience that blends power and efficiency like never before,” Ang noted.
Powering the new Mercedes-Benz GLC is the potent four-cylinder, 2.0-liter gasoline mill with EQ Boost Mild Hybrid system, which has a 48-volt power supply. The engine — which can dish out a maximum of 204 horsepower and 320 Newton-meters of torque — is mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission (9G-Tronic).
The powertrain combination allows the vehicle to run 0-100 kilometers per hour (kph) in 7.8 seconds and reach a top speed of 221 kph. In addition, the new Mercedes-Benz GLC has Dynamic Select and Offroad driving modes.
Further, the new Mercedes-Benz GLC sports the aesthetics that was first seen on the new C-Class — but in luxury sport utility vehicle form.
Notable features for its exterior are the high-performance headlights and two-section tail lamps that are all on LED, as well as its 19-inch, 10-twin-spoke light alloy wheels painted in tremolite.
Size-wise, the new Mercedes Benz GLC is 4,716 millimeters (mm) long with a wheelbase of 2,888mm — reflecting an increase of 58 millimeters overall length compared to its predecessor.
Inside the cabin are the 12.3-inch instrument cluster as well as the 11.9-inch infotainment system that has Android Auto and Wireless Apple Carplay connectivity, 15-speaker Burmester 3d Surround Sound System (which can provide output of 710 watts), and Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) Voice Assistant.
Additional amenities include the wireless charging system and the 64-color ambient lighting.
Further, the vehicle can carry as much 1,680 liters worth of cargo.
Moreover, the new Mercedes-Benz GLC hosts a myriad of safety features such as active park assist with parktronic; active brake assist with pedestrian protection; and Guard 360.
The new Mercedes-Benz GLC is being retailed with a price tag of P5.19 million.
