Mercedes-Benz GLC
The 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLC evolves the previous generation GLK Class SUV into a smoother, more streamlined model. Overall, the GLC is bigger and longer, yet thanks to extensive use of materials like aluminum and high/ultra-high-strength steel, it is also lighter than the GLK, something always appreciated by those in the market for a capable SUV. The GLC is based on the C-Class sedan and the SUV features many carryover components from the sedan.
The GLC 300 is available in both rear-wheel drive or 4MATIC all-wheel drive its powered by a turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission and produces 255 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. The more powerful AMG GLC43 comes equipped with 4MATIC with 416 horsepower. It uses the same 9-speed transmission as the GLC300 but with different programming that produces faster shift times.
Standard features in the GLC include 18-inch alloy wheels, heated power folding mirrors, power tailgate, keyless start, a rearview camera, and power driver's seat with memory. Also included are an 11.9-inch display with media interface which is Internet-capable and Bluetooth hands-free connected.
The AMG GLC43 comes with larger 20-inch wheels, 14-way power sport bucket heated front seats, an auto-leveling sport suspension, sport pedals, a heated leather sport steering wheel, and an 11.9-inch touchscreen.
Safety features across the lineup include parking sensors, blind spot warning, forward and rear collision mitigation, pedestrian detection, and a driver attention alert.
