The new iteration of the Mercedes GLC debuted in the summer of 2022, but it did not have any special editions or spinoffs – until now. Meet the GLC L, a stretched variant for customers in China. The SUV enjoys 89 mm of extra wheelbase and 110 mm of added body length. The rear end looks noticeably different with more upright c-pillars, a raised roof and a less slanted tailgate glass.

Although there is now technically a third seat row, you can fold it down when not used. There is a console separating the seats with cup holders and USB ports in it. Should you not need the extra seating, you can order the GLC L with just two rows.

 

The standard equipment list includes a 12.3-inch digital dashboard and an 11.9-inch vertical infotainment display. Paid options include the AMG Package and a heads-up display.

Power is supplied by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo assisted by a 48-volt electric starter. There are two boost options: 204 PS and 258 PS. A nine-speed automatic transmission sends the momentum to all four wheels.
