A prototype for the next-generation
Mercedes-Benz GLC has been filmed during a recent round of testing in Germany. This tester is
bathed in camouflage and body cladding in a bid to hide its true identity.
Despite the car manufacturer’s best attempts to cover up the car’s exterior, it
appears quite apparent the SUV has a lower roofline than the current model.
Additionally, it appears longer while also sporting a stretched wheelbase.
It is hard to comment on the specifics of
the SUV’s styling due to the camouflage but it is reasonable to assume that it
will be slightly edgier than the existing model and come complete with sharper
and more angular headlights and taillights.
As the new GLC will share its
underpinnings with the next-generation Mercedes-Benz C-Class, it will be sold
with an array of electrified powertrains that includes mild-hybrid assistance
for the full range of four- and six-cylinder petrol and diesel engines.
We understands that the latest GLC’s cabin will be dramatically improved over the
outgoing model thanks to the use of the company’s latest MBUX infotainment
system that includes a fully digital instrument cluster. There will also be a
plethora of new driver assistance systems. The next-generation Mercedes-Benz
GLC can be expected to hit dealerships in 2022 meaning we will likely see it
unveiled next year.
