The Mercedes-Benz GLC 220d is targeting those who put fuel economy, and not performance, at the top of
their list.
But, some owners would probably be happy with
something more than the 170 PS of the stock 2.2-liter diesel - and Vath will be
more than happy to oblige.
For € 850, excluding tax, the tuner will bump
up the output to 205 PS, while the peak torque sits at 470 Nm, which helps the GLC top out at 220 km/h.
If you feel so inclined, there's a stainless
steel-made sound actuator, for another € 1,090, plus € 290 for
installation, and stainless steel integrated tailpipes for another € 139.
A coilover suspension with height-adjustable shock absorbers lowers the ride
height by 20-55 mm and will set you back another € 2,290, plus € 480 for installation. Finally, the wheel-tire combo that consists of 8.5x20-
and 10.0x20-inch rims wrapped in 245/45 and 275/45 tires for the front and rear
axles respectively, adds another € 4,200.
